Best leather half case for Leica M3?

[J Durr]

What do you think is the best all around half case for a Leica M3? I have the original Leica case, but it is so bulky and pretty worn, too.
I once had a Kameraleder for a M6 and it was pretty nice, but he no longer is in business.
Any ideas?

I have ones from Mr Zhou, Artisan & Artist, Luigi but I like this one the most:

just ordered one... Disclaimer. 4 hours out from oral surgery. Oxy, tylenol, and red wine on board. I'd pretty much buy anything right about nown.

And it's your fault, Huss

I like them so much I also bought one for my F3 Ltd. What is really nice about them is because they attach via the tripod lug, there is no loop going over the strap lugs. It is a very clean design.

Awty - if you check out his store he makes them for lots of different cameras.

I recently got the Artisan & Artist for my M6 from B&H. Very nice, I'm happy with it.

Mr Zhuo's cases look much better than when they first came out. One thing I didn't like about his was the chemical smell. Compared to that leather smell from Luigi's. I'm partial to Luigi's but not the big grip one's. Arte Di Mano cases are super nice too. I thought the A&A cases were too thick for some reason.

$350 is just crazy money for a half case. Or a full case. But that's IMO, as obviously people are buying them.
