Is the sliver top plate metal or plastic ?

 

Someone in the Leica shop just told me its aluminum, same as the black one I think

The Leica website says it is anodised, so presumably it is aluminium.

claims that the top plate is solid brass for the black one. The body aluminium. Can anyone confirm?

 

However my understanding is that brass cannot be anodized, so the silver top plate could be aluminium?

Both are aluminium - according to the Leica website!

[stussy2k]

Haha, yes you're absolutely right. Thanks

Rats .

Bought mine a month too soon .... would have preferred silver ....

Like it, looks more classic. But no regrets with my black one, already have a silver M8. I cannot see clear on the website but it looks like the (leather) covering is different.

 

Best

The silver on elook nice at pictures, same like the X1 was. But in real, I found (X1) looks better in black. The silver parts looks not "metallic enough" for me. So I prefer black version.

But I have to say the silver XVario looks pretty nice, and if the touch and feel fits to the picture, it will find many buyers.

Because the x1 has a plastic top. Silver plastic looks bad (eg x1, x2, x-e2)

As the x-vario has a metal top, it will look good

The touch and feel of the black one, at least, is classic Leica.

Really? I did not know this...

It looks very good in the "flesh". Still firmware 1.00. The standard lens cap is now tetherable a la DL6, I wonder if that's coming to the black version also?

[dunos]

How do you mean tetherable?

[Holgersen]

Nonsense.

The X1/2 have metal top and bottom plates. I'm pretty certain the same goes for the upper Fuji models too.

It has a pair of holes and with the supplied cord you can tether it to one of the strap lugs so you don't lose the lens cap

Oh right. The black one I got a few weeks ago has that.
