Just in time for Ireland, the M10, along with some super secret new pieces of kit from JB Camera Designs. I am initially blown away by how much smaller the camera feels than the M240 or the MM. I know it is a mere couple of millimeters, but it is dramatic in how it sits in the hand.

Long having been a huge fan of what Brady does out at JB Camera Designs, I am pleased to show off his latest M10 kit. The new special edition grip and wooden thumbs-up device are simply stunning to look at. I have always used one of his grips on my Leica Q and my M240, so everything feels right at home, but somehow, more refined. The Thumb adapter is unique in how it mounts to the camera, providing the solid feel that the basic M10 design lacks.

Both the grip and thumb adapter are made out of stunning wood right here in the USA. Stillwater OK is the home to JB and the team of craftsmen that make these products. I have had the pleasure of watching a grip come to life in person, and it amazes me the care and attention to detail that goes into each and every one of their products. JB also sent me two of their new straps, both of which will be put to use this trip. One will go on the M10 and the other to the Q.

Now, I am off to pack, update the firmware and get ready to shoot. Super excited to say the least.

P.S., it appears that I will be unable to edit this story using my iPad, something that I thought would work. So... I will use Instagram as a means of sharing images along the way and update this story when I return. I may actually be able to create small micro stories using the iPad, but I need to experiment a bit before I am sure.
