Compact Diss Posted August 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm about to do a lot of mountain climbing and I'm looking for a carrying bag for my Leica M-A and some rolls of film. Any suggestion for waterproof and rugged enough for hiking/climbing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgk Posted August 10, 2016 Share #2 Posted August 10, 2016 I just stick my camera and lenses inside a padded insert (out of a Billingham bag actually but there are loads out there) in the rucksack that I normally use. I also carry several 'dry bags' to shove everything in if it rains. Padding and waterproofing is all you need to worry about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compact Diss Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted August 10, 2016 Thanks, I do have the dry bags all ready to use. I was thinking the same thing, but wanted to see what others are using, may see something I like. It's not like I won't be using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted September 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted September 15, 2016 A camera inside the backpack is going to stay there ; one attached to the hip belt is going to get used. In good weather I use a Newswear pouch on the hip belt ( and a carabiner around a D loop - so it can not slip off ). http://www.newswear.com/smallpdetail.htm In bad weather I have a sealLine dry pack http://www.cascadedesigns.com/sealline/protective-cases/seal-pak/product 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan c. davis Posted September 16, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 16, 2016 I had one of the above mentioned Sealine packs and the waist strap came unglued after not a lot of use. I now have an Aquapac roll top bag but doubt if it would fit a Leica. I don't take my Leicas on serious multi day hikes anymore though after drowning an M6ttl on a failed river crossing in New Zealand some years ago. These days it's just a small M4/3 like a GM5.

Desmoprem Posted December 4, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 4, 2017 Buy a "disposable" Leica D-Lux and keep it in your pocket. Not a big deal if it gets dropped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
