Dear visitors of this page(s), let me finally introduce "officially" my very special SS "flush" tripod 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, Euro 60 each - Live mid-market rates (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.
 
We make and sell several kind of neck straps and wrist straps:
Thank you Edodo !
You can't believe... But, I am "in love" for my straps !  :-)  Try one !


Thank you, Guido s. !

PLEASE, LOOK AT MY WRIST STRAPS... recently, several makers "discovered" them !  :-)
 



 
A my wrist strap in Cherry finish... (both photos, courtesy Mr. Huubl) I love cats !


Euro 30 (35 if with the quick fastener), It is useful for any photographer, but I think
that it is really INDISPENSABLE for the many photographers that uses an outfit case !
Imagine how much MORE safely, using it, you may handle your no-neckstrap camera !
 

Another model of our wrist strap: the one made with the "tiny end" as in one
strap below, in order to save the strap lug from the contact with a metal ring.
Precious for any cameras with a mini-lug for tiny straps ! Euro 30 mid-market rates
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Euro 25, sorry... It takes time, and care !
And, worldwide Registered Air Mail shipping, (quite slow, but with

A newly designed Luigi's strap ! Please, look carefully at the pictures,

at all, NO sliding parts, (NO adjustable lenght, then...), but simply a nice, soft,
friendly, SAFE, and easy to be fitted leather strap for your cameras. Average
lenght, when fitted, cm. 92/95, but you may ask for your preferred lenght!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NEW ! You can have now the strap made following your needings, and your measures. The colour finish can be ANY you'll choose between our 13 options. Do you want it longer ? More wide ? More long ? No problems, I will make it in a few days as you'll want it... And, if you don't like my engravings, you can ask for a "no name" strap, too. :-)
 
Worldwide Registered Air Mail shipping cost Euro 16  mid-market rates
 

NEW ! NEW !

We have designed (and made) a NEW strap model, an "hybrid" between
the "deluxe" model, and the "no metal rings" one. Please inspect it accurately,
and decide by yourself if it is cleverly made, and really useful for your needings !  :-)
It allows the howner to AVOID any metal contact to your camera strap lugs,
using our "old" idea of the tiny strap's ends, BUT it is also (by lenght)
adjustable too !  The adjustable part has been enhanced by me
with the two RED dots. Removing the two tiny
ends, you have a "normal" deluxe strap...
Black or brown, READY for shipping, Euro 70 mid-market rates
  
THIS STRAP IS ALSO PERFECT  FOR YOUR TLR ROLLEIFLEX, IF YOU
MISS THE ORIGINAL ONE !  IT IS EASY TO BE FITTED, (WITHOUT NEED OF METAL CLASPS)

A NEW STRAP PROPOSAL, for who likes (or needs) a FASTLY removable strap:
 
Please, look at the two "vintage like" metal fasteners ! Some, similar, terrible metal fasteners were largely used in the 30's for Leicas, and other cameras, with very DAMAGING results. Now, in the year 2006, Luigi (me) offers them, again, in a very beautiful design and a deluxe finish, with the simple idea that makes them NOT dangerous for a camera ! It is so simple... two simple "bells" made in the same strap's leather, are carefully placed around each fastener, offering a safe and soft contact to the camera body. Or, two large protectors. In those pictures, you'll see the new strap fitted to my beloved M6 Titan, the one presented to me, with the engraving on top:     Luigi Crescenzi      Roma - 1999 and this, well before any "Leica à la carte" :-) It was the only "special" Titan M6!
 
When necessary, as example for removing the strap (it takes 4 seconds !), the user must simply "slide" each bell away from the fastener, allowing an immediate and extremely easy romoval of the fasteners, and strap, from both camera lugs... Eur 65, too.  mid-market rates



NEW LUIGI's STRAP, WITH METAL FASTENERS, Euro 65  mid-market rates
ATTENTION: I tested the fasteners with a serious weight.
 
ONE single fastener lift perfectly 12 KG, then say the double when 2 are used on the
TWO camera strap lugs. But, snatching it strongly and repeatedly still with the 12 KG
 weight hanging, after several violent snatches (6/7), it broke, then it's up to you...
The good news is that the special metal of it is LESS harmful to the camera lug !



I am willing to make new test, and will post the results.
 
 
NEW STRAP's USEFUL ACCESSORIES, PLEASE LOOK ATTENTIVELY...
NEW ! 35 mm FILM CARRIER black or brown, Euro 30
 
NEW ! digital battery/SD   CARRIER, Euro 33

NEW ! Elpro-D CARRIER black or brown, Euro 40
In order to avoid any possible "suede" leather particles on the Elpro-D
 surfaces, we carefully lined the inner side with a still soft shining leather !

ANOTHER USEFUL, SMALL ACCESSORY FOR YOUR CAMERA STRAPS ! LOOK !
 

We made, and it is ready for shipping in black or brown finish, the small "spare batteries
carrier" that can be fitted to your existing strap (if until 15 mm wide), or better to our
Leicatime straps (but the "heavy duty" one, for it we must make a special one),
giving you the immediate availability of the TWO spare batteries for
your  Leica M6, M7, Nikon FM-FM2, FE-FE2, and similar cameras !


The external sizes of this delicious accessory are: mm 42 x 24 x 10. To fit it to
the strap it takes 2 seconds ! It will not "slide" along the strap ! Euro 12 mid-market rates


Please ask the proper model. I make them for M6 smaller batteries, AND for
the M7 ones, or say the SINGLE M6 battery, that is taller... Same Euro 12 price

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 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... in 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) !  :-)

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