of the HALF case, only, when necessary ! Euro 370, or Euro 390 with MY built-in-grip

Prices and shipping cost, Packing & Handling included, are:

which prices are the same, Euro 390 without strap:

1- HALF or FULL case for M9-M8 with a MY "built-in-grip", that can NOT fit the Leica M9-M8 grip

Euro 36 for the FULL case) for a FAST Fedex Priority shipping, usually
delivered in 2/3 days. MOST of my cases are available, ready for shipping.

actually the shipping within 10/12 days since received a payment.
 
Please, have a look at this further model: FULL, with Built-In-Grip !

 ...as the one pictured there below:

"built-in-grip" (included in the price), with three accessories. The Deluxe strap is VERY
suggested (Euro 60), the spare battery/SD cards carrier (Euro 40), a HOOD case (Euro 60)



If you want a "personalized" case, just ask to luigi@leicatime.com, and I will
figure the cost, as well the making time (usually, around 10/12 DAYS...)

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... :-)
