XVarior Posted December 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Little more than a month ago, during my visit to LA, I went to the Leica Store Los Angeles to see the store many photographers talk about, also to discover the Leica X Vario. when I got there, I immediately understood why that store was so loved by those who have visited it. it's an extraordinary visual and emotional experience. I also understood why Leica has called the X Vario a Mini M, simply because it felt like one. I loved that tank feeling of it in my hands... but wait, that was not everything. Mr. Tom Smith from Leica US Akademie came to me to ask if I could join him in his coming Leica X Vario Discovery event planned to take place next day! I came back, and had a blast using and shooting with a Leica for the first time in my life. i did it all in B&W, all manual and i was amazed buy the result! here it is... Hope you'll enjoy it. PS: That's the day during which I became a happy Leica Owner Here's a link to the album. Hope you'll like it.

wda Posted December 3, 2013 Share #6 Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Fingers loops!? Leica Part Nos. 14646 14647 & 14648. Note that the grip shown is for the Leica M. The finger loops are the same ones as supplied for the X Vario, although few have been supplied to dealers yet, I believe.

wda Posted December 4, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 4, 2013 Only a few have reached dealers and it is the kind of accessory, in three sizes, where you need to see and try for size before you buy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
symmetron Posted December 4, 2013 Share #9 Posted December 4, 2013 Nice pics. Glad you're enjoying your XV. Tom Smith is a really good guy. I took a Street Photography seminar and an X2 walk around with him at the Leica DC store. He's the best! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
