I have 3 Luigi cases - they are a work of art. Italian design with a touch of superb craftsmanship!
Great! Yes really nice cases!
Great video Matt. I have Leicatime cases for my MP and Zeiss Ikon ZM and have had previous cases for my M3, M6 and (would you believe it) Fuji X-E1. Superb quality, and always a great service from Luigi.
Thanks and great stuff!
A few years ago I bought by Luigi a superb camera halfcase with strap for my Hasselblad X-Pan II.
Metal buckles on the stap are covered with sliding leather caps to not scratch the camera.
The rear lcd display has a hinged leather cover
The best cases for expensive cameras.
Very nice!! I don’t know he did cases for the xPan too.
Luigi is a charming gentleman. His cases are made with love, and fit perfectly. I have more than twenty.
Yes a great guy!
I don't have quite as many, but I agree on the love and quality that goes into them
Love Luigi. I had no idea his wife had passed. God Bless.
Yes such a nice guy!
Thanks for sharing this magical video Matt. What a treasury of cameras and knowledge. That leica ii you bought is a treasure and even with a service is a great buy!
Thanks! I just bought an even nicer IIIF black (see tonight's video)
Shoutout to Luigi's beautiful Rolex Daytona too. What a fascinating man!
Well spotted! Yes great guy!
wow. great video Luigi is a legend.
Thanks!
I'm not THAT much of a Leica enthusiast, but your video was fun to watch. Thank you. DAG Camera Repair MAY be able to fix your shutter pinholes. Sometimes it's best to simply replace the camera shutter.
Thanks for watching. Yes thankfully I had a Leica expert in the UK replace the shutter in a few of my Leicas.
Wonderful video Matt! Fun trip!!
Thanks Jon!
Another classic. It was great to see the interview with Luigi and hear his stories and your fill-in on them. It is all about the lens. The body is just a dark box that clicks. This is for film cameras, of course. Digital has the one film built-in and forever making it a lot more than a dark box that clicks. But it still is the lens to a great degree. Thanks, again.
Thanks Sandy! I love the vintage Leica boxes
Congratulations on getting to visit Luigi ! I bet that was a day you'll never forget ! Hope the camera works out without any major repair ;) Cheers, Matt, and thanks for sharing !
Thanks George! Yes test roll looks OK I think. Will try to scan the film soon and share a few images.
LeicaTiime (Luigi) is the best case for a Leica! All my camera's have his case and neck straps.....Grazie millie Luigi...
Thanks yes I love mine!
Wow, nice you honored this great man. I have some of his cases for most of my cameras. What I really like is that most of the colors are consistent over the years, so you don't have to buy a new strap if you buy a new case
Thanks and yes I felt lucky for the opportunity!
What an experience, thank you Matt
Thanks, yes I felt lucky!
Love to see Luigi doing well! Thanks for this video.
Thanks, no problem!
Matt in the CANDY SHOP
One of your best videos
What an interesting man, excellent !
Those cases look so beautiful, one would buy a vintage camera only to fill the case hehehe.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Rob, glad you like it and yes, what a great guy!
Very enjoyable video Matt and it looks like you has a great time. I have a 1932 Leica ii Mod D first day edition which I picked up in Prague a few years ago, it came with great history, the owner was attached to the 310 Czechoslovakian Squadron RAF during World War 2 where they flew Spitfires. The camera remained in his family until he passed. I took it home to Dublin before sending it to Aperture in London for a full service, they were fascinated with the history of the camera. I still shoot with it regularly and if you ever find yourself in Dublin you'd be more than welcome to put a roll of film through it.
Thanks Jim and what a great sorry! Yes it's crazy to think what these cameras have been though considering they are pre-war (I often forget this!). I was happy to pick up the II D like yours to show the world what these old cameras can do (as a CZcamsr) and I love the size, look, sound etc. Beautiful cameras!
Hey Matt, excellent video content. It’s always a privilege to meet another Leica aficionado. Just my observation, but isn’t that a Leica I with the Leica II rangefinder conversion? It was the 5 digit serial number that caught my eye.
Thanks! Ah yes well spotted, I’ve not checked the SN yet to the list but it is a low number so possibly
Hi I am happy for you to be able to touch this history of Leica.
Thanks! I have covered vintage Leica iii before in a few videos but it was nice to do it again after some time.
Who needs Gucci when you have Luigi!
Congrads on your new toys, Matt! He is a fascinating character!
Thanks and yes absolutely!
I have a Luigi case for my black paint mp which has a black paint leicavit attached. The case is a little taller and designed to be used with a leicavit. It’s a very well crafted case and as is always the case. You get what you pay for.
Thanks Mike, great! Yes I'm loving mine so far!
Nice Leica II ! With the golden brass / black paint contrast, and ‘woods’ silver thread filled top engravings, but looks like the nickel advance and rewind knobs have been replaced with chrome? Those pre-war smaller size Barnacks are still nice cameras and under appreciated as a camera to use these days.
Thanks. Yes chrome/nickel/brass. I asked!
Servus Matt✌
A very interesting Matt What immediately caught my eye was a Leica M3? with brown leather in the top centre of the cabinet, I think it was an M3. I would be interested to know where he had it made or if he had already bought it like that. Or maybe I should contact him if it is possible👌
Yes it was nice! Probably reskinned. One of my Patreon has a turquoise one and I’ve used a red one too. There are places online or you can buy skins and do yourself.
Excelente trabajo artesanal para proteger las Leicas.
Siempre he trabajado con el medio estuche de todas mis camaras de 35 mm
Y de esa manera las he protegido de golpes y caídas.
Muchas personas salen con el cuerpo y los lentes, pero es mucho más seguro trabajar con el medio estuche inferior
Felicidades por tan gran trabajo de Luigi y a ti Matt por el video tan importante!
Saludos desde México.
Thanks! Yes agree my cameras feel safer now (and they look and smell great!)
That was definitely a red letter day. You must have been like a child in a sweet shop! I service cameras but at the moment I don't have any leicas for sale. I have some leotax and the nicca type 5 fully stripped down replacement shutter curtains etc for sale. I'm also servicing leaf shutters as well and one beautiful camera that's German made with good lenses is the Kodak retina series. I have plenty of these for sale all stripped down and serviced as per what Chris Sherlock did before he retired. I'm based in France if anyone is interested.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure any readers will contact you or find you if you sell through eBay etc.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom thanks Matt. Chris Sherlock tells me I'd never be short of work.as people like me are in demand. Would love to see a video of the barrack style alternative cameras to Leica. I have the nicca type 5 with the back door like on the Leica M3. They are beautifully made up to Leica standards I'd say. The two I obtained had shutter curtains and ribbons that turned to dust when touched. It was a labour of love to get them both back to working condition. I'm keeping one the other I'll let go. Look forward to more videos from you soon.
@@petercooper9054 see my Leica iii clones video. I’ve got the same camera as you and others which I cover (or visit Mrleica.com and see the full list of all cameras and lenses reviewed and access that way)
I have one of the original Luigi M-series cases [and strap] with the beautiful stamped crest and script on the bottom which I don’t see anymore. Been using it for a few decades and it is still a work of useful art that protects and adds a nice grip. Thanks for the video, reminded me I want a case for my IIIb and getting one for the original smaller Barnack is not so easy to find.
Thanks. Luigi has more if you need!
Luigi was always the best choice on Super Mario Karts
Haha nice
I do have some luigi cases and straps... Wow your black Leica II look great !
Thanks Grom! Yes it’s nice to have a II with RF
Oh dear! watching this video cost me £250 - but those cases look the real deal!
Sorry! The are very nice (and smell great!) :)
Great video and what a lovely guy! BUT could use subtitles as he has a pretty strong accent!
Thanks, yes great guy ..and sorry if hard to understand
Luigi should start a youtube channel and review all those rare examples :)
Yes! ..or I’ll need to visit again 😂 ..I cover a lot in the video out tonight (hopefully !) ⏳
what a fascinating video about the Leica iii , but what about the Leica M 1 , has Luigi got one of those , this camera always seems to get overlooked, i wondered if you could do a video one day ......
Thanks. He had every model I think. If I get a chance in the future I can make a video no problem!
My experience with Luigi's day bag for the m9 and 2 lenses was that it was beautiful but... the stitching holding the straps to the bag came undone and the red flocking came off contaminating the gear.... great when new but unusable after a few months
Eek did you write to him? They are built to last so it sounds like you were unlucky.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom No.. being in NZ there isn't much point trying to arrange repair / replacement from Italy... just mentioning it as this episode endorses Luigi's products so viewers have the right to know.
@@camhyde9701 yes 100%. It was unpaid and not requested I was just giving my view but agree it's good to know the broader picture. You are the first to say you were not happy from the comments so far (with the kit).
Btw his website was (is?) legend 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha it’s even more old school style than mine
Matt there are three m3 1954 1956 1963 all different
Thanks! Yes I think the early one has a smaller VF. My Patreon friend has one, the SS and DS. I have one SS and one DS.
I have Luigi’s case for my Nikon S-2. Burgundy leather. Unfortunately the burgundy is no longer in stock? Please Luigi… More burgundy leather (for my Leica IIIf)
Thanks Brian, I’ll mention burgundy if I speak to Luigi again.
I have a Luigi case on my M9. It is beautiful but it does not smell any longer. Is there something to get the smell back?
Hmm good question, I’m not sure the new leather smell can be ‘faked’.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Used car salesmen might have something?
where could one get the scooter
I’m not sure if they’re still made sadly, I think he did them in the 80s or 90s.
stop spending my money Osborne !!!! 😁
Sorry! This trip cost me too.. if that helps at all haha
Hi Matt, you are usually easy to understand, but this video, your voice is underwater, sorry......
Sorry about that Mario. Parts of the audio were recorded at Luigi’s house rather than my usual studio audio.
Lovely cases for sure ... but try Arte Di Mano cases also .... go on, spoil yourself!!!!
Thanks for the tip!
