Advertisement Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Hi integrale, Take a look here Will the D3 neoprene case 18667 be suitable for Digilux 2?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
joppepop Posted October 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2009 Without knowing much about the case, it is likely made for the D3 with the kit lens, which is a slightly larger combo than the D2 constitutes. It will definitely fit, maybe a bit too good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugby Posted October 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 21, 2009 I use the 18667 neoprene case on my D3, and it is too big for my D2 by about 25% On the D2 it actually looks silly......sorry. I am fortunate in having one of the 2005 Leather Ever-Ready LC1 cases that fits the D2. I know you must be going crazy looking for a nice case for the D2. If you search back to 2005 in the archives of this forum I posted other cases that I had used with the D2, ie the Minolta leather case for the 700i and 9000 series of SLRs, fits nicely on a D2, BUT without the Lens hood attached. these are on Ebay for about $20 Also the Crumpler Zieube is a great fit too with the lens hood attached, got from ebay for $20.

integrale Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks for the replies! I'll look further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosecpf Posted October 21, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2009 I use my D3's neoprene case with my D2 whenever I have the Lumix Wide Angle adapter on it. It works great for that purpose, but as other have noted, the neoprene case is too big for the D2 alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsolomon Posted October 21, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 21, 2009 i disagree, i used the neoprene on both my D2 & D3 - it fit fine and i like the extra room, i say used because i lost it at Yankee Staduim last week and have been trying to replace it since..... anyone happen to find one there ? rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
integrale Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted October 21, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I took the chance and ordered one from HarrisonCameras.co.uk - I bought my D-Lux 4 from them (as well as some Nikon equipment) and they are very friendly and efficient. The case appears to be in stock on their website, but, unfortunately, that is not the case (!). Harrison is optimistic in having the case shipped to me in one or two days. I'll keep you posted!

rsolomon Posted October 22, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 22, 2009 This is not a neoprene case but is was designed for the digilux 2, i own this case - its beautifully made but not so practicle when taking the camera in and out of the case ....

jvan01 Posted October 22, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 22, 2009 Is there a well-fitting halfcase for the D2 besides Luigi's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugby Posted October 22, 2009 Share #11 Posted October 22, 2009 Is there a well-fitting halfcase for the D2 besides Luigi's? Yes, buy the Lumix Ever ready case as mentioned above Panasonic PS-114 Ledertasche für LC-1 schwarz: Amazon.de: Kamera & Foto and just use the botton half. I often use my Lumix case this way.

integrale Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted October 22, 2009 What a wealth of knowledge! lots of possible/alternative solutions then. I'll post pictures when I find THE solution (for me). Thank you very much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
integrale Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted October 26, 2009 Through the friendly and efficient service of harrison cameras (Harrison Cameras Online - Leica Premier Dealer, Canon, Olympus, Nikon, Photo Albums, Giottos Tripods, Lowepro Bags, Manfrotto Tripods, Viking Binoculars, ThinkTank) I recieved the neoprene case this morning. I already recieved the Panasonic case (PS-114) earlier. I must say, I much prefer the Panasonic thing (Panasonic PS-114 Ledertasche für LC-1 schwarz: Amazon.de: Kamera & Foto); it's more practical (easier access) and can also be used as a halfcase.

symmetron Posted October 27, 2009 Share #15 Posted October 27, 2009 I use the 14868, Neoprene M case with large front for my D2 and it fits fine; about $60. Not sure of the D3 case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesh Posted October 29, 2009 Share #16 Posted October 29, 2009 I was lucky when I bought my LC1, that it came with a Luigi Halfcase. It's beautifully made and fits like a custom tailored suit, it only ever comes off to get at the SD card for downloading images. Not sure how they work, but I wonder if one these new wifi cards might avoid all the 'undressing'. Hmmm....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsolomon Posted October 30, 2009 Share #17 Posted October 30, 2009 Could someone post a picture of the camera with the half case on .. i looked at this website (Panasonic PS-114 Ledertasche für LC-1 schwarz: Amazon.de: Kamera & Foto); and that is one ugly case.

lesh Posted October 31, 2009 Share #19 Posted October 31, 2009 A couple of quick shots of the Luigi half case on an LC1. Should mention that I have a very early Luigi and as you may notice, the cutouts for the LCD etc are not perfect, but you will see from his website that current versions are very much improved.
