Overview

The Leica 14498 SCA Adapter Set is a specialized accessory designed to expand the functionality of the Leica Multi-Functional Handgrip M. By adding a flash support rail with its own external hot shoe, the adapter frees up the camera's built-in hot shoe so you can mount an external viewfinder while still using a system flash. This is particularly useful for wide-angle or specialty lens shooting on Leica M rangefinders, where an auxiliary viewfinder is often necessary for accurate framing.

The set comes complete with a high-quality flash support rail, an external flash shoe, and a spiral cable that routes flash communication through the SCA socket on the handgrip. This maintains full SCA-compatible flash functionality rather than reducing the flash to a basic manual trigger. The all-black construction matches the Leica M aesthetic, and the build quality reflects Leica's exacting standards. While it serves a narrow use case, for photographers who need this dual-mounting capability, the 14498 is the factory-correct solution.
