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 !
Dear visitors of this page(s), let me finally
introduce "officially" my very special SS 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 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 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" -
Euro 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...
:-)
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...
in Black Paint !
However, I can't guarantee the paint duration... (NOW quite strong !)
