straps and cases

[memphis]

I know I'm kinda the odd duck here as I use rangefinders, manual focus gear, and 1 nikon slr, I don't think I'll convert to digital....
I am very picky about my gear... For my rangefinders (Bessa R2, Leica CL) I have found a guy that custom makes italian leather straps and cases... The cases and straps are true works of art... I've nothing to gain by warmly endorsing Luigi - but he is truly a master craftsman... I've come to feel that a camera is naked without either a luigi case or strap - he is reputable and honest...
here's his two links:

by all means it's the best strap or case your camera will ever wear.

Your no odd duck... there are a few of us here just like you. Although I own and shoot a digital SLR, my most used cameras are the Leica M3, Pentax 645, and one of a few pentax 35mm SLRs.

Luigi is very well known in the Leica community and I've seen his very impressive work (cost is equally impressive).
