"Fast+Prime" Leica Leather Goods

[julianphotoart]

I stumbled across this website that seems to offer some awfully nice-looking Leica M carrying-about choices: http://www.fastandprime.com/

A little gaudy for my taste and HOLY *** ARE THEY EXPENSIVE!

EDIT: Really? P-o-o is censored?

 

[bgetty]

ugh. no thanks.

Apart from the price (ok, handmade and will probably last a lifetime):
A metal buckle at the half case where you grab the camera doesn't seem to indicate a lot a practical thinking beyond the fashion design aspect, does it it?

I couldn´t help giggling, seeing their "Keppler" product.........

yeah kepler looks retarded. The whole site is nice, but the products are wack.

Also what's a porsche button closure?

 

[kshapero]

Wish them success. Wrist straps are nice.

The Kepler might make sense for an SLR w/very long lens in the days before IS (resembles chestpod & similar rigs used in the 1930s), but a RF?

The "Solo" straps look nice, but as for the cases - I'll keep hold of my Zhou case I reckon.

I just bought a 50 summicron for that price, other handmade cases don't cost this much!

 

[Rotarysmp]

Ugly and impractical. Insanely priced. Nice web design though.

"Nice" is never economical, but $992 USD for a camera case that measures 8"x6"x3.5" is WAAAAAAY over the top IMO, particularly when compared to this

Any of the above = more bag for less money IMHO.

I really like those Tank case (in brown), the agent86 bag and the straps. but prices is crazy on the bag and a little too much on anything else...

I wish them luck too -- watch for these cradling the Leicas of celebrities. But "over the top," indeed. And that Kepler thing -- these are rangefinder cameras, not Mamiya RB67s! (Named for Johannes, or Burt?)

For High Rollers Only! I'm passing on these fine products.
