Advertisement Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Hi JackTheRipper, Take a look here X1 release date?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mborkowski14 Posted September 26, 2009 Share #2  Posted September 26, 2009 Jack,  I pre-ordered mine, and was told December to January, with a SLIGHT possibility of receiving it in early December. As for the cases, here ya go:  http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-x1-forum/98402-x1-cases.html  I think that the system bag is probably the best option, as it will allow you to carry any accessories you might have at one time with you. Check them out.  - Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTheRipper Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share #3 Â Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks man, I really like the vertical case (the one that looks like the dlux 4 leather leica case)... Can't wait for it to come out,, I hope before Xmas! Leica would sell more as Xmas presents then! Â Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mborkowski14 Posted September 26, 2009 Share #4 Â Posted September 26, 2009 Fingers crossed, dude. I'd love to have this in my hands and start shooting with it A.S.A.P. It seems like a really logical companion to an M, and something that would make a great travel camera. Street scenes a-plenty will be shot with this bad boy!

Cherub Posted September 26, 2009 Share #5 Â Posted September 26, 2009 Same for me. My preordered one should arrive "start of december" , my dealer told me. I replied : ok, maybe before Christmas ! LOL btw I am number 1 on my dealer's preorder list ... Â For the case, I feel the same as Matt. My favorite is system case ... I love to have my camera "free" of everything around my neck ... Will buy the system case I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mborkowski14 Posted September 26, 2009 Share #6  Posted September 26, 2009 The system case costs $270 according to Amazon:  Amazon.com: Leica 18711 X1 System case: Electronics  I'm wondering if it, like some other Leica system bags, is produced by Billingham. If so, it's definitely worth the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gverdon Posted October 1, 2009 Share #10  Posted October 1, 2009 According to Leica Switzerland, the X1 will probably be available in November.  Cheers,  Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTheRipper Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share #11 Â Posted October 2, 2009 thanks for the recommendation john, but I don't really like his cases. No doubt he has a big following on here, and no doubt he makes fantastic cases, I just really like the original Leica leather case (for the Dlux 4) and I'm really really hoping they make one for the X1 like that ... Â thanks again though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeplanter Posted October 3, 2009 Share #12 Â Posted October 3, 2009 Just received the latest "Leica Newsletter" (from Leica, I'm on their mailing list) and they state that the X1 should be available January, 2010. Â Jim B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to see some good reviews soon!  I'm going to Spain on the 5th and Norway on the 8th, and I really wish I had the X1 to take with me... ...  Last year my wife surprised me and bought me an M8 with 35 mm ASPH for my bday.  I usually spend about 2k on my wife for her bday, so she told me to get her an X1 for her bday, December 15.  I said "how about if I also buy you a carrying case for your X1"?  She said to me " No thank you, I'll buy my own."  She wants to buy a Luigi case- in red leather.  Cases are like shoes, never buy your woman her shoes.

mborkowski14 Posted October 4, 2009 Share #14  Posted October 4, 2009 Jack,  As a person who just received his first Luigi half-case for my M8.2, I can tell you with certainty that I'll be emailing him soon to see if he has something for the X1 in the works. The quality is outstanding, far surpassing that of the Leica cases, and every detail is worked out to maximize your pleasure while shooting. Here are some pics of me shooting today with my new case:   For reference, I have the half case with the built in grip in the "Rally" color and matching strap. By far the most comfortable equipment I've ever shot with. I really recommend one Jack.  Matt Welcome, dear visitor!
