READ, PLEASE:
I make so many cases models, colors, and variations, that a “ item # ” would
make me crazy to understand the buyer’s wishes ! In fact, the possible options
are more that 1.000 !!! A lot better is to email me a short and precise
description of the wanted items, along with your location…
Dear Visitors of this my page, and possible
buyers of cases and straps, I must
to inform you that the making of special orders, unlike formerly, actually needs
a very CALM time, which could even reach between the 30 to 60 making days !
Instead, READY items can be shipped quite promptly, within 5/8 handling days.
When a your order will be placed, it would help A LOT if you'll sent more that
one color option, please ! In fact, with so many models, fittings, and colors,
it
is really impossible to have all in stock, then with more possible options, I
will
be able to may ship your items in a shorter time, avoiding disappointing delays
!
The good news: very probably, thanks to a well qualified websites engineer,
(seem that) in a few weeks the Leicatime site will become finally "modern",
allowing the buyers to complete their purchases with a couple of clicks, just
filling (for leather's goods)
the proper "online form" ! :-) - Please, be patient a little more !
And... Please, don't expect a good or a fast communication ! I can't, being too
busy ! :-(

ready cases (many are ready !) are usually sent within 2/3 days.
BUT, not ready cases and other items may need a CALM 30+ days making time !

ATTENTION: I reserve the right to
improve my cases, as actually I am doing very often
!
Then, some of the recently made cases may slightly differ
(in better) from the pictured ones !

A NECESSARY
EMERGENCY
WARNING
Dear Sirs,
Luigi
there (of course !). I am experiencing a very busy time, for several
different reasons, that I feel necessary to describe, needing your
understanding:
NOW,
I try to ask your suggestions: the Luigi's cases workshop is very busy,
with even too many orders (but, thank you, I am happy and proud for that !).
However, seem to me that in the future I will be unable to may make and ship
all the ordered items. What to do ? I am not a teenager, and it seem to me not
so proper to TRY a production's increase, also because there is a shortage of
fine leather's artisans, and even more of reliable ones !
Then, the sole possible solution is that I will renonce to the quickness
(if not for the many ready cases, the ones "in stock"), and I am afraid that
I will need to ask, for the special orders, almost 20 making days, or more !
Is that acceptable to you ? I need your opinion, and possible suggestions:
Please, email them to:
webmaster@leicatime.com - Grazie ! Roma, January the 7th, 2011
Finally, I hope to may better serve you,
curteous customers ! Please, read...
Dear
Friends, I have too many duties, and recently my communication became slow,
say poor !
If I miss to answer timely, and if you'll need our quote for a cases and
straps order,
you
can finally email to a my NEW , smart, (and fluent in English) daughter/assistant!
Please, email to:
ginevra@leicatime.com
and she will answer (more) promptly !
____________________________________________________________________
WOW ! I am very happy, because in a couple of days many inquiries have been
sent to Ginevra, and she is now seriously helping me ! But. please, do NOT
send
your messages also to my email address, beause doing that I am even more
confused,
and we risk to answer twice, separately !
J
Greetings, ciao, Luigi

PLEASE, READ ATTENTIVELY BELOW THIS PICTURE...
My leathers are tanned with ecological, best vegetable oils, and for many years
them doesn’t
need any special care, or maintenance. However, since some months ago I found
(and use) a
very special German cream, that I may also sell at
Euro 8
for a very small 50
ml/cc amount,
that seem VERY effective, either for cleaning, “nourishing”, and good
maintenance.
The name is “Coxy shoe cream neutral 19”, and I am sure that, if available in
your country,
you can pay less for it ! If instead you need it from me, I can ship it, but…
Euro 8 each,
+ other
Euro 13
for the slow Registered Air Mail shipping, or
Euro 8
if shipped along with a
case or A strap, by same Post way, or probably ZERO if shipped by Fedex with
other goods,
but that depends on the total parcel’s weight. In fact, the Coxy cream weigth is
gr. 140 !
Now... a my new funny proposal, (which
will be immediately copied, too ?)
I call this strange case for Leica M the "Rainbow" !
Euro 200 (NO strap)
the shown strap is braided, 8 strands, quite wide, and it is offered at
Euro 90
I will make soon a less wide "Rainbow" strap, with 4 braided strands, at
Euro 70
Other models will follow soon, for Leica M8, and for Leica M with my "built-in-grip"

ABOUT SHIPMENTS: of course, I would prefer to ship
by Fedex, that is fast, and recently VERY reliable ! But, it cost...
Italian
Registered Air Mail service by Post is slower, needing from 10 to 20+ delivery days,
and it is now, luckely, quite reliable, too, with only rare exceptions...
The Italian Post
tracking page (will only give a shipping evidence) is the one below (link):
http://www.poste.it/online/dovequando/start.do?subaction=raccomandata
Attention, please: we are always
working
for our cases improvements,
then we reserve the right
to make some slight modifications, that
could let be your NEW case slightly different from the ones pictured.
"NO NAME" cases and straps can be of course
ordered, if you
prefer to avoid our
logo(s) on the purchased items. Please read shipping rules on this page bottom !
Dear visitors of this page(s), let me finally
introduce "officially" my very special SS Bottom
"flush"
SCREW, the one that some buyers of my cases
already knows... Sincerily, I am quite proud of this my idea ! Unlike Leica
cases screws, and, as far as I know, unlike ALL cases screws, this special "Luigi's"
screw still leaves the case bottom perfectly flat, without the uncomfortable
protrusion on the bottom, that prevents the case (and the camera) to rest firmly
even on the most flat surfaces ! His design permit to easily operate it with any
thin coins, and in the lower part there is the useful TRIPOD hole, with the
smaller thread, the one actually used by ALL makers.
It is quite costly, Eur 60
each (fitted), because:
1. every screw is hand made with a lathe -
2. the screw is all made in solid stainless steel,
of which I am a fanatic user, being me a "boat's man"... -
3. to fit well it is a not easy job, it takes a lot of time and care, and
there is always the risk to ruine a NEW case !
ATTENTION: the "Bottom SCREW" is not fitted in our cases by default
!
It will be fitted ONLY upon a clear request, and a related payment for it
A new very special product MADE and offered by
Leicatime !
Please, look attentively... I am introducing
the NEW two "soft shutter releases"
buttons for Leica and other cameras, 16 mm diameter for your finger's comfort.
For Bessas I am making them smaller ! I know, several are offered around.
But, those two models are made in SOLID STAINLESS STEEL
!
TWO models: "Concave" and "Convex"
- Eur 20 each,
choose yours !
NOW, you'll find the Leicatime website address
engraved on their bottom.
Why I show them in this (cases) page ? Because I suggest
you to order it/them along with a case, avoiding to pay the shipping cost
for the soft release, alone ! I already placed one of them in EACH of my cameras...
:-)
Please, have a quick look to my "solid
SS soft shutter release buttons", Convex or Concave,
now available in naked silver SS, and durable black ot red paint ! Euro
20 each
The softrelease screws into the remote
shutter release mechanism inside the shutter button and
provides a few advantages.
First, it physically raises the height of the shutter button, allowing you to
use the joint or pad of your finger to fire the shutter rather than the tip.
This results in a smoother action, more like squeezing a trigger than prodding a
button, which reduces camera shake a little and is (to many people at least)
more comfortable. Generally, the cable release socket also has a smoother action
than the shutter button, so the softrelease turns it into something of a
hair-trigger, which again helps reduce camera shake. The effect seems to vary a
little camera-to-camera, but I find them essential items on my M6 and Canon P.
Most users experience a combined benefit of about a stop more usability in
hand-held shooting: so if you find that you can normally manage sharp hand-held
shots at only 1/30 a softie should allow you to go down to 1/15 and achieve the
same results. Personally I find that, with the softie in place, I can manage
decent shots of 1/4 second quite easily, and even 1/2 if I'm lucky (I must have
steady hands).
The only downside is, as S. says, you do tend to end up with a few shots of the
inside of your camera bag, unless you get into the habit of stashing the camera
without winding on first. That said, film's cheap. (feedback
from a friendly user...)
Finally, I am offering the SS MiniConvex for your RF Bessa cameras
! A few (nice) prototipes are available, ready,
Euro 20 each

Wonderful service. Soft release is well
made. You won't believe the difference! |

ABOUT SHIPMENTS: of course, I would prefer to ship by Fedex, that is fast, and
recently VERY reliable ! But, it cost... Registered Air Mail service by
Post is slower, needing from 10 to 20+ delivery days, and it is quite reliable.
It cost less, from Euro 10 to 25, depending on the weight, but it NEED all your
patience ! The average delivery time is around 10/12 days, but is may need even
one month, because some countries are SLOWER that Italy ! If you NEED a delivery
in a reasonably certain and SHORT time, the Fedex is a MUST !
Here the page of Italian Post for such
registered parcels:
http://www.poste.it/online/dovequando/start.do?subaction=raccomandata
Shipping rules: dear (possible) buyers, although we are always using the
MOST reliable shipping
ways, as Fedex, EMS, and the less costly Registered Air Mail, it must be very
clear that we are
NOT responsible for any shipping risk after that we have carefully sent the sold
items. Of course,
the SAFETY of our parcels, when them are on the way
to reach you, is out from our control. Then,
I must enhance this WARNING: we will issue a full
refund OR a 2nd similar item shipment ONLY if you
will request (and purchase) a FULLY INSURED SHIPPING,
adding an extra 1% of the grand total of
your purchase, with a miminum amount of Euro 3 for low
cost items. Thank you for your understanding.
