**FOR LEICA M8 ONLY. FIT ON LEICA M9 IS TOO SNUG. CHOOSE BM9-B FOR LEICA M9.**
Remove the brassl base of your Leica M8 and completely replace it with our elegant base that is CNC machined from T6061 aluminum. With integral dovetails, this base allows you to mount your camera directly into a Really Right Stuff quick-release clamp. Far more robust than the stock base, our replacement base delivers a better fit with tighter tolerances. Our replacement base virtually eliminates the flex between body and base that is so obvious with the stock Leica base.
