Morten Grathe Posted March 7, 2007 Share #1  Posted March 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am thinking about purchasing two bags for my M8:  Thinktank Speed Demon  Billingham M-bag  Any experiance with these bags. Obviously they are for different occasions. I think for a long time, I won't be bringing more than 3 lenses.  Best Regards, Morten fotograf morten grathe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Hi Morten Grathe, Take a look here Bags for M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pemayeux Posted March 7, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted March 7, 2007 I use two bags. I have the Billingham M bag which I keep the M8 with a lens attached and two additional lenses, plus a expodisk and extra cards. My second bag is a Lowepro #4 that I keep my two remaining lenses, charger and MP body. I really like the Billingham for a small easy to tote bag. Usuallly I keep the 28/2.8 asph and the 50/1.4 asph in the Billingham with the 35/1.4 asph on the camera. The other bag holds the Noctilux and the 75/1.4 as they tend to be the least used lenses. Â I've thought about getting a Billingham or A&A that would hold all the set but I'm not sure which would be best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joern Posted March 7, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted March 7, 2007 The Billingham M-bag is very nice. Â Small, superb quality and enough room for additional stuff like filters, leica mini tripod etc. Â I prefer the black one. Â For the full kit i just ordered the LowePro Omni Sport.

jwr50 Posted March 7, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted March 7, 2007 I, too, use the Billingham-M bag as my "walk around" bag for the M8 with lens attached and two additional lenses. I've got a larger Billingham that I keep all of my Leica kit in, but the Billingham-M bag is a high quality, compact bag that suits most of my needs very well.

Morten Grathe Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share #5 Â Posted March 7, 2007 I think I will have a look on the black one too. I like the idea of a small bag, that you can carry along without getting tired. This is not the case with my Canons - they go in a large backpack.

egibaud Posted March 7, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted March 7, 2007 Hi, Â For "heavy transportation" I have the Billingham Hadley PRO, I use it for my M8 with a lens fitted + an extra lens + Flash + charger + Panasonic FZ30 + charger + spare batteries and SD cards. Â For daily light use I've just bought a Billingham L2 for 1 M8 with a lense on + an extra lense. Â Quality is brilliant. Â Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm curious, which larger Billingham do you have? I need space for two bodies, 28,35,50, Nocti, 75, charger and filters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted March 7, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted March 7, 2007 I just got the Billingham M bag from Popflash and it is superb. I have an older Domke for transporting the whole kit when necessary. The Domke will hold 2 bodies and up to 6 lens by stacking them. The M8's charger now takes th eplace where a lens went though since it is sort of bulky itself. I am at work so I do not know the model of the Domke. I will reply later if anyone is interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wag Posted March 7, 2007 Share #10  Posted March 7, 2007 I think I juist figured out what you mean by the Billingham "M" bag. Am I correct you are talking about the "Combo". They are nice, small but nice. I have a Billingham 225 and a 206 Media bag. They are beautifully made. I'm selling the 206 media bag because its a little smaller than the 225 which is just right for me. The 206 is in great shape and well priced.

Stephen.s1 Posted March 7, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted March 7, 2007 I'm about ready to order an ImageSmith. I'll expect to be able to carry a M6 and M8. Both with lenses affixed. Hopefully I'll be able to carry 3 more lenses, and a few rolls of film. I do not want a huge bag with stuff rattling around in it. Â Not to hijack the thread; if anyone knows of a reason I shouldn't go this way, please speak up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager Posted March 7, 2007 Share #15 Â Posted March 7, 2007 Just an fyi, I tried to order an A&A Oskar Day Bag this morning from Photo Village, based on the positive input on the forum here. It's out of stock and not expected to be available for several months. Â If anyone has another source for the A&A bags, I would appreciate it.
