Leica R Sleeves

[Brian D. Goff]

Project droped.

Sorry, but could not get the amount together to justify production. Also doing a contax version would require a new design and that again just will be to expensive.

Sorry for disappointing some of you, but this market has become so hard the last few years, have to focus on more beneficial stuff:-(

Cheers
Brian

Looks like they could be great- just buying some r's now....could be interested in 4....

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Price includes declicking the iris?

 

[Saumene Mehrdady]

So it's like a shell that goes over the lens? Interesting. Can you make it in different colors?

 

[Nick Morrison]

Would this be only Leica R? Could you do it for Contax?

 

[Domenic Barbero]

Would this be only Leica R? Could you do it for Contax?

Second that ^

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

couple questions.. I have already switched to a nikon mount for my leica R, would this not work?

also.. the focus gear, is that independent of the housing, or would the whole housing move with it?

Its hard to tell with the print model

What lenses can you make sleves for?
Will it be possible to do Leica-R 24 f2.8, 35 f2, 50 f2, 90 f2 and 135mm f2.8? 500$ each? I'm in

4th!!

 

[Tommaso Alvisi]

will the sleeves be the same external size?
how are attached to the lens? only at the base near the mount?
will they be able to sustain the weight of a lmb-25 3stages with filters?

4th!!

5th that for Contax Zeiss!

 

[Michael Winokur]

I just sent 6 Leica Rs off to Duclos. I may be interested in this. What is the time frame? What lenses are you planning on fitting? My kit includes: 19 Elmarit II, 24 Elmarit, 28 Elmarit, 35 Summilux, 50 Summilux and 80 Summilux.

 

[Mathias Erichsen]

I really hope we'll be able to get to the minimum of 20 units and realize this! (...and that my mere crons will be accsepted in this lux croud..?)

 

[Jason Bognacki]

Interesting +1

 

[mike kovacs]

super interested!! sign us up for a bunch of sets!

 

[Alvise Tedesco]

so I would like to consider doing so if I get enough pre-orders (at least 20 units).

At least 20 units for specific lens or sets?

 

[Nick Morrison]

Last question: would the 80mm front also have a 77mm thread for filters? That would be extremely convenient.

 

[Brian D. Goff]

I'm on a shoot right now and will be able to make a final decision in about 10 days. I up-dated to your questions my fist post.
