As the title says....can you please post image of your DL4 and accessories?

 

I am thinking of getting some accessories, like the bag and possibly a grip and would like to see what combos of bag/DL4 and bag/DL4/grip people have.

 

Thanks

This is the grip (and the remote trigger release) I got from from Richard Franiec's Camera Accessories

The case is from the Leica D-Lux 4 Accessory Kit (comes with a battery).

Here's my 'system'

Leica Grip

Leica DL4 viewfinder

Pandabase adapter

2x Tele lens

0.45x WA lens

Metz 36 AF-4 Flash OLY/PAN

Slik Sprint Pro II tripod

UV filter

POL filter

Crumpler Muffin Top 3000 bag

 

The 2x and 0.45x converters were cheap off E-bay and are marked Rowa Optics. Don't expect miracles with these. The The Tele lens isn't bad but the WA lens exhibits distortion and fringing near the edges, both are ok for occasional use which is what I wanted them for - my D-Lux 4 is set to 24mm 90% of the time. The Metz flash is great.

 

Damn, I just realised I've inversted almost £1000 in this system - I could have bought a reasonable SLR for that to replace my ageing Nikon D100 - but then I wouldn't be having so much fun!!!

Don't think there's any mention of the removable ring in the D-Lux 4 manual. Download the LX3 manual from the Panasonic site, it explains all and is incidentally a better manual generally. To fix the lenses and filters you need the adapter tube shown fitted to my camera above.

The best accessory I've bought is the book "PHOTOGRAPHER'S GUIDE TO THE LEICA D-LUX 4" by Alexander S. White. I got mine off Amazon. It's really well written and shows up all the countless omissions and mistakes in the official Leica Manual. Very happy that I bought it. 226 pages of good information. Leica should throw away theirs and include this one!
