Backpage Posted January 27, 2011 Share #1  Posted January 27, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Practical and inexpensive are two words rarely seen in the same sentence as Leica.  For those of you who care, I've been using neoprene lens bags for years as a way to protect my cameras.  True, they are not the fancy hand-stiched half-cases so popular with Leica users, but they are barely larger than the camera itself and protect the camera when tossed into a briefcase or other scratch inducing environments. And the one shown here cost $11.00 US.  Think about it. In these difficult economic times, don't you want something practical and inexpensive? Oh wait, for a second I forgot this is a Leica forum.

wda Posted January 27, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted January 27, 2011 I use neoprene cases for my digital Ms and a lens-wrap for my X1 when it is not part of my fuller travel kit. It goes easily in any convenient non-photo bag when out shopping or other non-photographic outings. Â There is no shame in using non-Leica solutions and such suggestions are always welcome.

phancj Posted January 28, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted January 28, 2011 I loved these cases until I realized if you perspire say in your pants pocket this material allows the perspiration to seep thru onto the camera. In hot tropical weather where I live it is not as practical, but it does accord some scratch and impact resistance for sure. Â I use this material for my macbook air, portable harddisks, etc,etc anything which is not exposed to perspiration. They cost $1.50 each here in Asia!

aciel ton anap Posted January 29, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted January 29, 2011 The steel gray X1 in person is also good looking, much, much more than in photos. Â Inexpensive neoprene cases for cell phones are also good in storing expensive watches rather than just laying on top of drawer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
