x1 cases

well, somebody has to be the first to be pre-occupied with this important question ;)

 

- are there yet any pictures of x1 cases floating around ?

 

I think that depends upon how quickly Luigi can lay his hands on an X1. One of his cases would be quite elegant (and a little retro).

sorry, i meant original leica cases. i think i read somewhere that there will be a case fiting both camera and handgrip. (btw interestingly, such a case is not available from leica for the m-series, but from third parties only)

I expect that the case can fit the camera with the VF mounted.

 

From Leica's X1 brochure:

 

For instance, the ever-ready case: this protects the camera and keeps it handy for fast and flexible shooting. It offers sufficient room for the camera with an attached handgrip, and features a smaller case attached to the carrying strap to hold the accessory finder.

I hope such cases are not produced by Leica's spec sheet. "32 mm depth" of the camera body does not include the lens which sticks out some additional 30 mm. Hello Leica, funny numbers. Sigma provides much more realistic numbers for their DP camera series.

btw i am a bit puzzled by the half-case design. seems a bit awkward to me as there is no grip covering ?!

 

 

It seems like aesthetic appeal took precedence over practicality in the design of the case. I guess we'll truly see when it arrives, though.
