What are the actual must-have accessories for traveling with a Leica M11? Im heading to Tokyo this Friday for street photography and still havent figured out my kit. I already dropped a fortune on the 35mm Summicron so I dont have a ton of cash left.
I read online that the Visoflex 2 is essential for nailin focus but some say it kills the battery and makes the camera too bulky. Also saw people arguing about thumb grips vs half-cases for protection. Is the internal storage enough or should I buy extra SD cards just in case? Really need to know what to order tonight before my flight...

Just saw this and I agree about skipping the Visoflex. In my experience, it ruins the form factor and kills the battery. Over the years I've found keeping it simple is better for street tbh.
- SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC UHS-II for redundancy.
- Leica BP-SCL7 Lithium-ion Battery since the 60MP sensor is power hungry. Internal storage is fine, but backup cards are cheap insurance. A thumb grip is a great ergonomic alternative to a bulky case.
