Leica X1 owner's thread

[JoePro]

Anyone can clue me in on this fact...

Warranty (International) for Leica purchased in Hong Kong is only one year - any reason why?

if anyone knows would appreciate an answer thanks

haha... i see some familiar pics and nicks from the leica user forums...

awaiting the ?rumoured? FW update...

to the user above asking if the X1 is slow, it depends...
most would use the MF instead of AF on the X1... therefore, slowness depends on user's ability...
but in the event that you want to use the AF, it depends on the availability of light...
under lowlight... its hard to get a proper focus with AF...
under day light, its faster, but not fast enought for sports/actions/toddlers running about...

compare it to a dslr, its a snail...
compare it to some P&S/Manual RFs, it can be fast...

think of it as a P&S with a DSLR output...

Artisan & artist got one for x1 with side grip.. try Orient Photo, they might have stock 6 floor SL Square. not cheap but very good finish and fits well!

Hi Yujun,

Take a look at this link.

They have leather cases for the X1. Can customise the colours of your leather too. Must order and it's from Korea.

I personally went for the artisan & artist black leather half case. Does anyone know whether the artisan case come in other colours beside black?
