Dear visitors of this page(s), let me finally introduce "officially" my very special Tripod "flush" SCREW, the one that some (few) 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 50 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.

Here finally offered our half case for Bessa Voigtlander R2a-R3a (by Cosina)
Look at the two pictured prototypes... The normal production of them is now running

BESSA R2a-R3a HALF CASE


Sincerily, I don't know if the shape and size is proper for other (former) Bessa models.
I will check, and will be more precise, later. Black or brown, with strap, € 160
The strap is included (or can be deducted, minus Eur 40), but I suggest you to get it, too...
 
And now, for whom likes to spend less (or to spare more...)
 
Here two cases samples for Bessas differently made, from the new "basic line", which
peculiarities are: NO hand stitcking, different (still fine) calf leather outside, different
(still fine) suede leather for inner lining, and LOWER price, settled for the model shown
there below, with the "built-in-grip", at Eur 80, only, (no strap), and at Eur 60, only, for
the standard model, (no strap, too, and no "built-in-grip"). FOUR finishes are already made
and available: pebbled grainy black, smooth black, "talc" grainy brown, (not pictured), and "hot whisky" brown...


other views of the cases for Bessas with the "built-in-grip" facility...
and, there below, the same "basic line" cheap cases, made in the Standard style...

Of course, I prefer and suggest my "premium line" cases, but I thought to offer a choice...

courtesy, Mr. Xavier
The buyer of this "Basic" case for his Bessa R camera, as example, wrote
me that he is VERY pleased with the purchase, and he sent me even a picture...

Then, I will make it ONLY upon special order, in about 10 making days.

A small item that represents one of the "secrets" of many professional photographers...
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" - € 12 each, choose yours !
NOW, you'll find the Leicatime website address engraved on their bottom.
I suggest you to purchase it/them along with a case, avoiding to pay the shipping
cost for the soft release, alone ! I already placed one in EACH of my own cameras... :-)

Now, also... in Black Paint !
However, I can't guarantee the paint duration...
 

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

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