Advertisement Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Hi artspraken, Take a look here Instant Deployment Case - Cool!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
AlanJW Posted May 22, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2010 My instant deployment device is no case. Only case I have is and old old Benser that is useful occasionally when traveling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2mini Posted May 22, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2010 This is just MY opinion, but that is not pretty and kinda bulky. I don't even see how it would work unless you like to walk around with your arms behind your back like in the photo, or bowed like you were challenged to a duel at sunset.

sfokevin Posted May 22, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 22, 2010 Luigi made me a M case like this... I opted for the shoulder strap as I don't have the hips for your version Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkor AIS Posted May 22, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 22, 2010 That Luigi case is very nice. Kind of like a man purse for a Leica M:p. Gregory Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted May 23, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 23, 2010 Cool case I wonder what that would look like for M and Noctilux...? Luigi will make it to your exact size request.. I had mine made to hold my M8 & 50mm Lux... Had him add a belt loop slot on the back and a couple slots on the inside to hold a couple extra SD Cards... But I find I only keep the camera in it when I pack it in the suitcase... When I walk about it turns into a holder for a pair of lenses and the camera is strapped over my chest for "Instant deployment"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adli Posted May 23, 2010 Share #11 Posted May 23, 2010 I Think I'll stick to my Fogg Flute: Fogg Specialist Bags Works and look like a charm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted May 27, 2010 Share #12 Posted May 27, 2010 I'd really love such pouch/bag, but pairing my M9 with a summilux 50mm, it's just going to be too thick.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Freedman Posted May 30, 2010 Share #14 Posted May 30, 2010 I also had Luigi make me a similar box-shaped case for my M9 and standard lens, but I asked him to fit a magnetic catch instead of the noisy Velcro! Philip Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted May 30, 2010 Share #15 Posted May 30, 2010 Sorry but the original post has to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen but hey everyone to their own Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted May 30, 2010 Share #16 Posted May 30, 2010 Lord that's ugly. From the original blog article... "The best bit is that no one has any idea what the case is and what might be inside it. I’m not one of those M9 owners who wants everyone to know I have one. I am much happier if no one has a clue. I bought my M9 to take pictures , not to draw attention to myself." So while the camera is in the case no one knows you have an M9. What happens when you decide to take a photograph? Secondly, I have a funny feeling that wearing something like that might just draw attention to yourself despite what you hope for in the last sentence.

erl Posted May 31, 2010 Share #17 Posted May 31, 2010 Ahemm. I still find my technique the fastest with any lens attached. It was inspired by the 'Western gunfighters" in old movies. They had to get the shot in, or die. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguish Posted May 31, 2010 Share #18 Posted May 31, 2010 A side point. The Leica rangefinder rides best, IMHO, vertically. The CL had a strap attachment that allowed this and also kept the bottom plate attached to the rest of the camera when changing film, etc. But the M9 straps allow only for a horizontal carry. Leica used to, I believe, make an old clip that would screw into the tripod hole so that you could attach the camera to a belt. It would then hang vertically, again, which IMHO is a better attitude than horizontally. You could not do this with a digital camera b/c the clip would likely mar the back screen, or at least get in its way. All the belt stuff, however, is a bit too much to me. I would love a way to hang the camera vertically, however. It is more discrete and anatomically friendly. I will reserve comments on the style merits, or lack thereof, of the original post.

wstotler Posted May 31, 2010 Share #19 Posted May 31, 2010 its like a hostler for Indiana Jones. lol. Yeah, you could fit almost all of him in there. Seriously, though, interesting idea. Cheers, Will Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted June 1, 2010 Share #20 Posted June 1, 2010 I would like to see Luigi come out with a M line of codpiece/holsters... One that could accommodate me and all my range of lenses... But all that leather could be expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
