farnz Posted February 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2009 Hi, and welcome to the forum! "Must buy" accessories will probably depend on what you're planning to use the D-Lux4 for; so, for example if you're going to shoot at night then a tripod will be handy, or if you want to shoot super-wide then the Panasonic LX-3's wide-angle attachment lens may be useful. Many people who use the D-Lux4 have taken advantage of its hot-shoe and use an external viewfinder instead of the LCD screen to compose shots but this won't provide a zoomed or focussed view. The Leica external vf is quite expensive and some users have opted for the less-expensive LX-3 vf or another appropriate vf they may already own instead. Personally I use a Voigtlander 21mm external vf that I already had and I also bought the LA-4 lens adaptor and polarising filter for those rare sunny days with clear blue skies. I haven't bought a protective filter because lens coatings are quite resilient these days providing they aren't abused, and a protective filter would invite flare in some lighting situations. If one wasn't supplied with the camera, a case and strap will be useful too. HTH. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted February 14, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 14, 2009 A Luigi case and Ricoh lens cap conversion is all I need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadthis Posted February 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 15, 2009 hi, can anyone advise or recommend any must buy accessories for the leica d lux 4 ? like tripod, lens filter to protect the lens thanks As Pete had mentioned - the lens adapter along with a few good filters and perhaps a pedal hood as well should be considered. I found that it's easier (and more stable) to hold the camera with the adapter. Just ordered the hand grip, will see how useful that is when it arrives... I would also suggest a TTL flash with bounce - The Olympus FL-36 is an option, although a little big, it does work flawlessly with the DL4. Last, but not least, is a suitable case like Luigi, or possibly the limited edition ever-ready case by Leica (similar to the one that comes with the Ti edition but comes in a Mocha colour) and/or neck/wrist strap (check out Gordy's). Bills for this little camera can add up really quickly... But that's part of the joy of photography, isn't it?? (That's what I keep telling the wife ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgio Posted February 15, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 15, 2009 viewfinder a great tool. And the Luigi case is something I also have for my other camera. Here are some pics of the case and the finder: Leica Please note that this is actually a Leica M finder. It works very well, but it does not allow the flash to pop up. The original D-Lux finder is slightly smaller and does not have that problem. I just could not wait until that finder hits the shelves. Geo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankap Posted July 11, 2014 Share #9 Posted July 11, 2014 The Panasonic wide angle adapter 0.75 is very good too. It leads to an 18mm lens!
