Mashimaro Posted October 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, Just wanted to share some pictures of the new Arte di Mano leather case and strap for my M9! Ordered it with red stitching and it came within 3-4 weeks. The case fits the body perfectly. The stiching is very nice and the bottom has a tripod stud as well. Strap is very simple and well matched to the case. here are some pics that i would like to share as i'm very impressed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted October 18, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks for posting this. Very nicely made half-casecase. I'm interested in getting one with matching strap for my Monochrom but only if I can get it with black stitching. I've emailed them to see if this is possible. Also, without the tripod atatchment screwing into the baseplate of the camera I'd not trust it on a tripod but half cases with a tripod socket are a PITA when putting the case on & off all the time to access the SD card or battery. I took it off my Luigi case with a Dremel cutting blade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it off my Luigi case with a Dremel cutting blade. I'm sure they can do black stitching as I requested for the red after I placed the order on their eBay store! I agree about the tripod stud as I wouldn't trust it. I will likely take off the case if I use a tripod on the camera. Definitely a well made case compared to the Luigi ones I've seen. My old case is a Leica leather half case that does the job but isn't the nicest looking thing out there I still have an Artisan and Artist Easy Slider strap too that I will use from time to time. I will take a pic of the bottom of the case when I get a chance for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted October 20, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 20, 2013 Very nice fit but like MarkP I would be interested in black stitching. Please post a reply if you get a response on the question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted October 20, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2013 Hi Bill, just in communiucation with them over the last few days Very pleasant to deal with and quite prompt email repliesw (direct and via eBay) considering it's been a weekend. Yes they do the Minerva Black half-case and strap with black stitching - stealth mode for the Monochrom . You just email them first, quicker through eBay, and they ask you to add the stitching request as a note on the order, no extra charge. Bundled half-case and strap with one postage expense. They will send you an eBay payment email with the modified cost. I also asked for it without the tripod fitting which they will do at significantly reduced cost (some $55US). I'd never trust mounting the Monochrom only to a camera half-case holding the camera only by two press studs around the strap lugs). Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not want the tripod fitting. From what I understand it is not screwed into the camera but just part of the case. It would not work for me and besides I use a small plate from RR Stuff.

The tripod mount on this case does not screw into the baseplate which is why I don't want it. Furthermore, I don't want the case secured to the camera with a tripod screw as slows access to the battery or SD card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardkaraa Posted October 21, 2013 Share #8 Posted October 21, 2013 I got the same one without the tripod hole and without the front and back bumps. I think it looks more Leicaish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
