Hi all!

 

Would like to share with you that I just recieved a very stylish handmade bag out of France for my Leica M8. The quality of this bag is magnificent! A French couple make these bags and there is a special model "Fogg Flute" for the Leica M8/M9 + walkaround lens. They have a very nice website as well where you can find all the information about the bags: foggspecialistbags.com/flute

 

Just for those who want a little protection and as an alternative for the luigi cases.

 

Cheers,

Consider also the Lyre. A bit bigger than the Flute, but still rather small, with ability to carry camera with lens, with space for another lens (or two). Makes things a bit less cramped, and gives a bit more flexibility IMO.

 

I use one for transport when I go on a day shoot with two lenses. However, I rarely work out of the bag unless it's unusually cold or inclement...otherwise camera goes over shoulder and additional lens goes in pocket or in belt pouch.

 

For extended trips with camera and 4 lenses, plus accessories, the b-Laika is perfect.

 

Mine are all black...leather, fabric and stitching.

It's obviously better if a bag with an expensive camera doesn't look like a camera bag. That said, most of my camera bags are obviously camera bags. Ironically my Leica bag is just an ancient, very well padded phony leather bag with the phony leather peeling off. I need a better strap though. The bag here is nice looking though if you're only carrying a body and one extra lens.

Fogg doesn't publish pics of their all-black option, available on all bags.

 

But, here are some pics of a Billingham bag, another quite expensive line. Look at the 4th bag down in all black. Maybe still not a "gas mask" carrier, but I do think that the all black option doesn't shout like the others...billingham stowaway

 

Anyway, that's my view and I'm sticking to it.:D
