jsrockit Posted July 13, 2010 Share #2 Â Posted July 13, 2010 Call Leica, they will sell you one. Problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausalito Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share #3 Â Posted August 2, 2010 Thanks... I got one and bought one (ouch... most I've ever heard for a charger -- $179) but I am not complaining. Â tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted August 2, 2010 Share #4 Â Posted August 2, 2010 I would be, that's a riduculous cost to be honest! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanCderidder Posted August 2, 2010 Share #5 Â Posted August 2, 2010 179$ ... wow and I mean WOW! Â I just checked mine out and it's a crappy piece of plastic .... I'm sure there will be after market chinese models later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelekim Posted August 2, 2010 Share #6 Â Posted August 2, 2010 Yes, that's an outrageous price for a charger. I remember when I found that my Canon battery charger was lost and asked for its price, the humble $48 price tag was already too much to me. Now Leica smokes it. I think both the functional designs are basically the same. Same simple little device to charge a little battery and stop charging it when it's full. That Canon one even has a bigger indicator light that changes colours to tell us the battery has been fully charged... Â Another good example for Leica overpricing their products. Â (My spare battery is made under another make. I just can't afford the Leica one at about 90 bucks!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted August 2, 2010 Share #7 Â Posted August 2, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yup, let's be honest....we buy leica or lust after it for quality reasons. They use the best glass and engineer well...this however is a piece of Japanese plastic, and Wally, shame on them for gouging like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phancj Posted August 5, 2010 Share #11 Â Posted August 5, 2010 True! my mistake, probably is chinese and cost them in the neighborhood of <$1. Premium for the camera,I get it... but this price on a charger, good grief. Â yup, when I broke the lens cap (lucky me actually, the camera fell to the ground and broke only the lens cap, rest of camera unharmed... replacement was $30, ridiculous! But I still love the X1 for its image quality......so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
