Made upon special order, in about 15/20 making days... 13 colour finishes ! :-)


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 40+ 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 months 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 !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please, look attentively to this item: Luigi's
LENS CARRIER, made since years ago, but
never pictured, nor posted in the site. You can have it/them made upon your
special
order, in the preferred color and measures, for any of your lenses !
% Euro 60-120

The price will vary upon the sizes, of course, and it may be simple, or made
with
a robust "belt loop" for the possible fitting to your pant's belt (if not too
heavy...)
Carefully lined in soft suede leather, it will protect your costly Leica (and
other) lenses !
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...
:-)
