tommycrown Posted June 10, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted June 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I meant the practicality of a leather case. Â Yes, leather cases do remind us to that old times, but can it really protect your camera? Â I haven't seen one, but I am just speculating that Lowepro 50 series is only 14.95 and has a lot of room for extra battery plus some SD cards pocket in the front with neck strap. Â And.. it has a lot of cushion with weather resistant material all around... Â Oh and btw, it's black.. and light! Â Tommy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Hi tommycrown, Take a look here D-Lux 3 case... anyone know. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
AlastairB Posted June 11, 2007 Share #22 Â Posted June 11, 2007 I purchased my D-Lux 3 with case in March 07 and am delighted with the camera but not the case. For a while I put the case on my belt but found it a bit bulky under a jacket. I then decided to start using the shoulder strap a month ago and on two occasions one of the clips opened and I just caught the camera in time before it hit the ground. However my main concern is that the clip opens and i do not notice the camera falling ie one lost Leica! There seems to be a design falut with the strap clip unto the case ring - anyone else had this experience? The lug of the clip seems to have caught in my clothing and opened the clip. I am now back to using my belt but thinking of writing to Leica to complain about this fault. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommycrown Posted June 12, 2007 Share #25  Posted June 12, 2007 D-Lux 3 wouldn't fit into Clux cases~ unless you cut a hole for the lens to pop out  Also, no neck strap? what if you drop it or something??!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnr Posted June 14, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted June 14, 2007 I bought a spare Leica leather Trinovid 8 x 20 binocular case for my D-Lux 2. Â It goes nicely on my belt alongside the 8 x 20 binos and I don't notice either of them until I need them. Â Incidentally the Trinovid 8 x 20s are a great pair of binocs. Â Leica have withdrawn the leather case these days, and only provide Cordura. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjsesq Posted June 14, 2007 Share #28 Â Posted June 14, 2007 "after my father gave me his Kodak 35 when I was a kid was to remove it from its brown leather case" Â Just thought I would add my $.02. I still have the Kodak 35 I bought as a kid - worked a whole summer to be able to buy it - and for those that remember, the choice at that time was between a Kodak 35 and the Argus C3. Anyone remember what the Kodak 35 cost in those days? Â BTW, Bought a case at Allen's Camera in Levittown PA - case came with an extra battery. Allen is a Leica dealer and calls himself the B & H of Levittown - he comes close to their prices and give personal service with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffencam Posted June 14, 2007 Share #33 Â Posted June 14, 2007 I expect delivery of the brown classic leather case for the Leica D-Lux 3 soon. As everyone knows, this particular case has been in "short-supply" to meet the high demands. I have been checking daily at B&H for a very long time and was fortunate to find there stock available for the case that particular day. I quickly placed my order through this excellent company and when I checked again 20-minutes later, the Leica case was "out of stock." Good luck on your pursuit to obtain this case. I would recommend checking everyday at the respective stores. Â Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesh Posted June 14, 2007 Share #34  Posted June 14, 2007 After buying my D-Lux, I considered the various classy leather cases but didn't have the time to buy before leaving on a trip.  Looking over my camera stuff I found I still had a 'throwaway' starter camera - bought years ago to see if there was 'any future in this digital stuff'. The case for it turns out to be a perfect, belt attaching case, for the D-Lux, with enough room for the spare battery and a card or two.  It would be difficult to find a cheaper looking case - but it does the job, and who'd believe that it contained a Leica? Those cool, leather cases with a nice smell are fine (Luigi's cases are great) but sometimes a cheapo which is functional, does the job.  Not a great pic but it shows the case, with it's previous and current occupant.

Waffencam Posted June 16, 2007 Share #35 Â Posted June 16, 2007 Follow-up for those individuals that are interested. I received the brown classic leather case for my Leica D-lux 3 yesterday. As expected, the quality and workmanship is exquisite. The form-fitting camera case leaves "minimal" room to place anything else to carry. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase of this case and very lucky to have been able to secure one without too long of a wait. Â Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbo Posted June 26, 2007 Share #40 Â Posted June 26, 2007 Last night I found approximately six auctions for the D-Lux 3 leather case. Â I ordered mine and waited for the back-order delay for over two months. It was expensive, but worth the wait. the case is classic, convenient and elicits a bunch of favorable comments. I just wish it wasn't so extravagantly priced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
