Looking for a full case for an M-camera

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm looking for a full case for my M4, but I have the Voigtlander 50mm Nokton F/1.1 which is much bigger than most lenses. I want a full case to house the camera with lens and a viewfinder on it, like this one:

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

i remember that one of the leica cases is available in either long or regular "nose" lengths to accomodate various lens types. look for 14871 in a recent (M7 or MP) catalog - maybe it will work on your m4.

Like Rick said. If you want to buy new, see here http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...se_M_with.html

14871 and 14876 come up used on ebay sometimes, usually around US 150 or less.

They are very well made but will not fit the viewfinder through. Maybe a Neoprene case if you want room for this as well ?

I'm using a Leica half case on my M8 with a Nikon CS-9 soft case over it. I can leave the 90/2 Summicron or 10.5cm F2.5 Nikkor on the M8 and get the CS-9 over it. Same idea should work for a Film M camera.

I'm using Leica Neoprene case (rarely put it on) to house my M6 + ZM 50/2.0 and there's still plenty of room at the front.

SlackerZombie, that too!

I really want a leather case more than neoprene right now. One of the guys mailed me with a case he has that might fit the bill, and I emailed Luigi to see if he makes (or can make) a full case like that one I linked to. I'll post Luigi's reply when I get it for anyone interested. Those Leica cases look good too so I'll keep those as an option as I find all the options I can.

Thanks gang!

Well, I'm a dumb arse! Luigi makes a full case too, I just didn't look far enough down his case page to see it. I'm going to pick up one of those from him also.

If Luigi's full case is in budget, you might like this one, too:
