Wow. I started this thread 14 years ago and here we go again.
I just bought a new Leica M EV1 and need to dress her up……. Any recommendations?

So I’ve got a soft shutter release, thumbs up and spare battery along with a dual battery charger all on the way.
I already have a peak design strap but might use the stock one instead.
We’re off to Vietnam next weekend so looking forward to so street style photography while we’re there.

I’ve taken to using the Peak Design Rope Straps, I think these suit the cameras better than the original Peak Design flat straps. I use them through small diameter split rings, and put the original Leica Pads over the camera eyelet

Ive never been a super wide shooter since my old M9 days when I had a 21mm Sumerlux so yes maybe I need one of those bad boys as well. My 35mm is a Thypoch that I only ever used on my Nikon ZF (wasn't great) but im hoping it works well on the new Leica and if so maybe a 21mm from Thypoch

Thanks, they do get a lot of use, I've had the 3 M9s since 2017, I used to just run with 3 bodies 21, 35 & 75 but a couple of years ago my tattiest (the one at the 9 0'clock position) started to play up in cold weather not re-cocking the shutter so I bought the M9-P so that I'd still had 3 but then I found a repair source who replaced the shutter on the failing one so now I have 4 and put my 50mm on the 4th body. I was surprised how convenient it was having the 4 focal lengths ever ready (I'm a bit paranoid about changing lenses in the field with digital cameras).

Going for the maximum number of Dartmoor cliches that can be fitted into a single frame with this one. X Vario.

I was there last Tuesday (the Ponies were all on Feather Tor), just beside The Wheelwright's Stone and my favourite Tor in the background. (y)

I live about half a mile past the bottom of Pork Hill, so that bit of the moor makes a lovely afternoon stroll. And photographically it really is the gift that keeps on giving -- so many beautiful spots and the light is never the same twice. I've done so many hundreds of shots of Windy Post Cross that it's almost embarrassing.

From that and your other shots, I'm guessing at Teignmouth!
Not far away in the big city.
