wmyowell Posted March 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I posted this on another thread, then realized that it should have its own thread as there are probably others seeking a case for the D-Lux 4 with finder and hand grip attached. I found this one at Calumet Photo. It cost a whole $17.95. It had a "Calumet" label on the front which I cut off. The camera slides in easily and there is ample room for the neck strap. It comes with both a carrying strap and has a belt attachment. As you can see there is plenty of padding. The pocket on the front holds extra memory cards and a battery.

pauledell Posted March 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2009 Bill, I have a new D-lux 4 and was looking for a case. I have the neckstrap on the camera so it won't fit in the Leica case. After seeing your's, I went to the local camera store and found a Tamrac case that appears to be identical. Even though I don't have an optical VF yet, it works great. I like the front compartment that holds a spare battery and media card. I didn't life the strap that came with it so I replaced it with a spare Domke "Gripper" strap. Thanks for your find.

bill Posted March 12, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2009 I use the LowePro "Apex 60 AW" to hold my D-Lux 4/grip/SBOOI combination. The case also holds a spare battery and card. I am now looking for something that can hold the camera with the Pandabase 52mm adaptor tube attached! Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted March 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2009 I picked up a Tamrac Adventure Video 2 bag inside is 6w by 3d by 3 -3/4h theres room for the camera long way with viewfinder and grip and a divider that is adjustable so theres room for the flash if it ever shows up in the store by me. Pluss lots of zippered pockets so I have the cables, spare battery and charger all in the bag. Looks like a mini sized slr bag. Cheers Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted March 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 13, 2009 ... I went to the local camera store and found a Tamrac case that appears to be identical. Paul-- Do you have a model number for the Tamrac case you found? I'm getting a headache looking for it among the pictures on their website. I'm looking for a belt case a bit more compact than my Zing pouch (older purchase, possibly the same as their current "Medium Electronics Bag," MPEBK1, (MPEBK1) MED ELTRN BAG/BLK - Tiffen.Com). --Thanks!

Targus belt case, very compact, no padding; great for the camera but won't hold finder or grip. (Haven't seen it on shelves recently.)

leicanut2 Posted March 13, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 13, 2009 Tamrac Adventure Video 2 , digital / video bag is not real small but not large, holds everything it is like a mini SLR camera bag. number of it is Tamrac 5522 It is on there web site..

leicanut2 Posted March 13, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey does anyone have the flash that made for this camera yet? Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicanut2 Posted March 13, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 13, 2009 I first got a Tamrac Digital 4 number 5694 inside is 4w x 2-1/4d x 6-1/4h outside is 4-1/2 x 4d x 7h it hold the camera with grip and viewfinder and room for cards and charger but tad to small for the cables and if you get the flash might be to small. You could wrap the flash and put it on the bottom and the camera on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted May 24, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 24, 2009 I am now looking for something that can hold the camera with the Pandabase 52mm adaptor tube attached! Bill - did you ever identify a suitable case to accommodate the configuration you describe above ? I'm looking for something similar and have yet to find an acceptable solution in my local stores, nor have I found a good recommendation elsewhere here on LUF.

Bill Yowell Price has risen to $17.99 Thanks for the tip, Bill. I just bought a wrist strap for my dlux + grip and was looking for a slightly larger bag than my Kata belt pouch (got for $15). I found lots of alternatives, but none this inexpensive. And, I like the flap top better than zipper options (as with the Lowepro 60, which I considered). From the pics and the Calumet listed dimensions, I wonder if this would hold an M8.2 and medium sized lens (say, 50 lux) in a pinch...just for some protection between day shoots or during inclement weather. M8 plus 35 cron-sized lens appears feasible. Any idea? Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatGuido Posted May 25, 2009 Share #11 Posted May 25, 2009 I have the LeicaTime one - as much as I love the look & smell of leather, it is a PIA to keep on taking out to d/load pics or change battery etc. Also I find that with the LT case it does not sit flat, so again I have to take out to take timer pics.. Now I am trying to justify keeping it! Darn.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
