Hard Graft has created an interesting camera bag for M cameras:  https://www.hardgraft.com/products/takecameracoal?utm_source=Hard+Graft+Members+Club&utm_campaign=19992551af-Track06%2F01%2F16&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_614b193797-19992551af-334762673&mc_cid=19992551af&mc_eid=12ee9ac8a2

 

I like the design (not the #1 choice for rainy environments, though) but it appears to be rather costly for its size and features.

 

Thoughts?

Not weatherproof enough for outdoors.

Not padded enough for indoors.

Looks nice!

I like the Hard Graft Stuff; i have a tilt case for my iPad.
Great material, great craftmanship - like my film Leica it looks better with ages

But this bag for a Leica (or whatever) is bullshit.
Its useless. No space for a second glass, no paddings, no space for nothin'

just my cup of tea

...but it appears to be rather costly....

No, it does not only appear, it IS!

Far out of my range....

_{297 Pound? in Vietnam they pay 1,50 for it}

Well, to be fair - it does have a nice gap in the top closure that will let in copious amounts of water if you are caught in a downpour. 

 

This may seem like a drawback, but it is actually a benefit; your camera and lens will always be freshly washed and looking their best.

The main problem is that it looks like a ladies handbag.

Inspired by the designer's wife/girl friend (if male), or the designer's own personal wardrobe (if female)?

[Gibbo]

Which may not be a problem for a lady wanting a camera bag that looks like a handbag.

Now this is stealth!

Yes. I'm waiting for a camera bag that looks like a bowling bowl case.

Until then, I'll stick to this.

It must not rain much where you live...

Bless Leica and the little cottage-industry of pretentious and over-priced leather goods it has spawned.

[epand56]

I think it's horrible, looks like my aunt's old bag. And looks like it gives no protection at all should it fall on the floor or slam on some obstacle.
I'll stick with my Ona bag

Sorry but... That looks like a bag my mother takes to church with her.

 

IMO Men shouldn't carry leather bags. They just look too feminine

I could definitely use this bag if:

 

- the top flipped over to give more protection from the elements and pickpockets 

- it was at least a tiny bit bigger, to have the chance of putting more in it than just one camera (at least space for a film and/or light meter thanks)

- it cost max 1/3 of that incredible price

 

Don't see why so many men appear to be so insecure about carrying a bag that looks vaguely feminine? If you're scared people will mistake you for a lady, grow a beard.

One might start getting job offers from fairground attraction owners...

It goes very well with his shoes...

Thank you. Exactly my first thought.
