gwelland Posted December 13, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 13, 2009 I'm guessing that he's busy working on his excellent leather gear because he certainly hasn't worked on his web site since, oh 2005 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonM Posted December 13, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Most certainly still there. I just got my black half case with red stitching and grip and tripod screw from him last week. 8 days after I ordered it from him. Amazing and beautiful !

Jelico Posted December 14, 2009 Share #10 Posted December 14, 2009 it's christmas, give him a break! it's worth the wait, no need to worry..luigi is a real gentleman Its not Christmas yet, for the prices that he charges he should be replying promptly. I tried to contact him few weeks ago, never got an answer and then ordered 2 cases elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent1965 Posted December 14, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 14, 2009 Jeeze; it's posts like that I'm sure would make a guy working for himself & almost by himself shutup shop & walk away shaking his head saying "why even bother" but in grumpy italian!!! He always (eventually) replies, he always delivers a quality finished lifetime product. What you pay for his straps or whatever is long forgotten once you have one. Sure his web site is a little "quaint" and he's obviously snowed-under with email queries & drama no doubt caused by the madly slow italian postal service. But the gear is well worth waiting a week or so for a reply to a question...buying camera gear doesn't have to be a race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted December 15, 2009 Share #14 Posted December 15, 2009 >> Matlep so he ist still around, good to read and thx for this info. Your combo looks splendid, congratulation to your purchase ! But how on earth did you get hold of one of these seldom seen cameras ? They almost seem to be as rare as the original LEICA- O- series. By the way: is this the Rally brown (aged) type or what colour did you choose ?? Best wishes GEORG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you will find details on how and when i got it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James R Posted December 16, 2009 Share #18 Posted December 16, 2009 Luigi has responded to my emails, maybe not as fast as some would like, but, he is Italian. My M9 case is scheduled to arrive tomorrow via FedEx, so, he is alive and working. I only wish Leica were as fast. Come tomorrow I'll have everyting for my M9 except the M9.
