Luigi's new case...

[Diggin99]

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone had thought of trying Luigi's new case, ie the less expensive one, with the Fed 2? I read here on RFF that people have been able to use the case for the M7 on the Fed 2, so that made me curious if the less pricey model would work also?

Here is the case, on feebay:

Any thoughts?

Nancy, I got Dad one of Luigi's "cheaper" cases for his M6, it is gorgeous, so I don't know what one of his top of the range ones would be like. I do know that if you have the locking screw fitted non of the FSU cameras will fit, the FED/Zorki 1s are too short and most of the others have central tripod mounts. Also none of the other larger FSUs fit and I've tried, FED 2, 3, 4 & 5, Zorkis 3, 3M, 4 & 4k and Leningrad. Can't find the Zorki 5 and 6

Hey thanks for the info! I guess I will stick with my never ready case!

i had one of the 'new' cases for the zeiss ikon. it is more 'boxy' while the regular cases are more like a second skin.
the boxy one is great looking also but i have small hands and the shape combined with a smaller hand made it uncomfortable for shooing.
i don't have the problem with the regular case.

That's because the "new" cases are made from 5 pieces as opposed to two, so you've got more seems - still nicer than a real Leica case(IMHO).
