ordered cases not ready, actually the making time is only of about 10/12 days !

and I WILL respond to all, but I will need time ! Thank you for your understanding !

 

Luigi's cases + straps for your Leica M, R, and other cameras
ATTENTION: Dear foreign (non-EU) customers, Italian customs became every days more strict, and we are now bombarded with burocracy requests, papers, limits, and any possible BRAKES to a modern, normal, easy activity... As a result, it is now for me almost impossible to clear from our customs any returned items coming from abroad the EU, if not spending DAYS of time for burocracy demands, and even more because, also if the returned item is evidently a MY item, "made in Italy" and a "Luigi" product, sold by us, we are requested to PAY some disappointing (and high) custom's fees ! Please, remember that when you are placing a your (appreciated) order !  Of course, I will increase even more the attention and the care that any sold items, and any parcel obviously deserves, but, again, I ask you to remember that a RETURN is now really difficult, and/or unreasonably costly ! The worst problem is that I don't have absolutely the TIME to follow such burocratic matters, or I would be unable to make my WORK. As always, you may count on my integrity, and in an HONEST response to any possible problems... BUT, NO RETURNS from abroad the EU, please  !... If in the future such problems will be solved, I will inform you... :-)
OF COURSE, NO RETURN PROBLEMS, AT ALL, FROM ALL EU COUNTRIES !
AND. NOW, FROM THE NEW GOVERNMENT, I AM EXPECTING A NEW ATTITUDE,
WITH LESS PROBLEMS FOR THE (RARE, BUT POSSIBLE) RETURN OF SOLD ITEMS,
almost when clearly embossed: "Leicatime*Luigi Crescenzi, made in Italy" ! I will let you know !

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 10 for the slow Registered Air Mail shipping, or Euro 5 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.
 
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"

UPS gave me SERIOUS problems... NOW I ship by FEDEX, or by Registered Air Mail.
Fedex express shipping to EU and USA until 500 grams Euro 25, some Asian countries Euro 5 more.
Fedex
express shipping to EU and USA until 1000 grams Euro 30, some Asian countries Euro 5 more.
 

A less expensive (but slower) Post registered air mail shipping IS available, Euro 10 to Euro 24
for light parcels, Euro 25 to Euro 35 for over 1000 to 2000 grams.
Packing & handling included

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/controller?action=start&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.

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 fo

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 12 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... :-)


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...)


Now, also... Black Paint !
 
However, I can't guarantee the paint duration... (NOW quite strong !)

I thought to post a feedback of a kind buyer, about this item(s) !  :-)


Finally, I am offering the SS MiniConvex for your RF Bessa cameras ! A few (nice) prototipes are available, ready, Euro 12 each

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

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 !

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 2 for low cost items. Thank you for your understanding.
