Leica Case S #16010

Nice case, but I would have to put black electrical tape over the Leica logo:

Or maybe I would just get an almost identical Pelican case for about 1/4 the asking price...

The insert is what makes it so good and if you buy Pelicase you won't get that,only option is placeable foam,Peli are not the OEM of this case ,I believe HPRC make it and it weighs 14lbs.

Looking at the HPRC and B&H websites, these do look like better designed cases than Pelican.  I cannot figure out what the foam used in the pre-cut insert of the #16010 cas is, though.  The HPRC website offers several custom options for case interior padding, which is great; it's good to have options.

 

This case looks like it would be a good case for an M system:  http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/514204-REG/HPRC_HPRC2550WFBLACK_AMRE_2550WF_Hard_Case.html

Great case, especially for flights and car travel (you can have the whole kit in the luggage, stop and just take out what you need) , have used it extensively. The larger room on lower right side can take an M with lens, too.

I just wish Leica would make a second insert which could hold another body and the 24mm,45mm and Zoom and even the TS,then two cases could hold everything!!

The 45mm fits in the normal case, but a new one for 24, zoom, TS and a second body would be good. I recently sent one of these cases from NZ to Charles de Gaulle as unattended baggage. You can imagine my trepidation as I left my S2-P plus grip, 35, 45CS, 70, 120, 180, ELPRO, pro charger etc  behind me in the freight office! I did block out the Leica logo just in case, happily everything arrived safe and sound.

The only problem with the 45 is that you can only pick that or the 35,not both, I bet you were relieved to get that case intact.. I would be sweating it..  :) I can just imagine your relief that it arrived safely.

You can fit 2 out of 30, 35 or 45. My case takes both 35 and 45 and I do not have the 30.

Forgot to add the new 100mm to the list of lenses that would fit in a second case.. I bought one recently but I'm waiting on the new body to try it out,I sold my 006 a while ago.

14 lbs. empty. Isn't that nearly the allowed weight limit with most carriers?

 

Oh sorry, I forgot that Leica S owners travel first class ….

 

 

Private jet ...

 

or Toyota truck in my experience ....

 

Gave up flying as a hobby 25 years ago so the S looks kinda cheap as a substitute.
