dave.gt Posted July 20, 2013 Share #1  Posted July 20, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yep, just when I finally put together a small Leica kit that does everything I need...namely, the Leica M3 with Nokton 1.5/50mm Summaron/90cm Elmar/handgrip/half case/custom strap, etc. AND the Leica X1 with handgrip/half case/A&A strap, etc. along comes the X Vario.  Now, I can visualize the X1 and XV in the small Leica Billingham being the ultimate small digital Leica kit...easily. But, I will have to get some paying gigs to get an XV.  And then again, I will not give up the M3, or film! Grrr...the small kit would go in the Handly Pro Billingham and then would not be a small kit then, would it?  Well, got to work on this some more...but for now, the X1 is perfect by itself for many things like vacation travel...  A couple of photos from Orange Beach, Alabama...one with the M3 and one with the X1....

wda Posted July 20, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted July 20, 2013 Quite a challenging subject Dave. If you are pleased with your present kit, why change? If you experience the need for a quality zoom lens, the the new XV might be an excellent choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest badbob Posted July 24, 2013 Share #9 Â Posted July 24, 2013 I can work efficiently with 2 cameras in the kit, but 3 seems very difficult. Added to that, the very strange combination of X1, XV, and M3 all together. If you have the time and money, maybe you could order a custom design. I have a small Leica bag that has velcro dividers, but those type of dividers wouldn't be strong enough for the 3 cameras you have, even if the bag size were perfect.

Rosebud55 Posted August 24, 2013 Share #16  Posted August 24, 2013 GAS is stronger, I bought the XV last week:rolleyes: John  I think it's time I too buy the x-vario! I have just been looking through the photos. There is just something about that camera and the little red dot. (I wonder what my OH will think of this? Mind you he has two leicas already) Time for a trip to the city of London next week.  Rosie (Dlux 6 ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
