Ralfi Posted December 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since half a year, I am the proud owner of a M and I like to have it always with me. Around the city, at the Christmas market, on vacation... Often I install only the 1:1.4 / 50 lens and pack the camera in a normal shoulder bag. Sometimes I do also add the 1:3.4 / 21 in my pocket and then it gets somehow not as nice carrying things around. Eventually I'd like to have with me a 90mm or 135mm lens - and now here is my question: what kind of bags do you guys have for your M-equipment? Should not be a huge suitcase but discreet, still about organized so that not all is just flying around. Thank you, look forward to your advice. seit einem halben Jahr bin ich stolzer Besitzer einer M und habe sie gern immer dabei, durch die Stadt, auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt, im Urlaub. Oft steck ich nur das 1:1,4/50 Objektiv auf und pack die Kamera in eine normale Umhängetasche mit rein. Manchmal baumelt dann aber auch noch das 1:3,4/21 in der Tasche und dann wird's schon enger und ist irgendwie auch nicht so schön. Irgendwann würd ich mir gern noch ein 90mm oder 135mm Objektiv holen und jetzt kommt auch schon meine Frage: was habt ihr für Taschen für Eure M-Ausstattung? Soll kein riesen Umhängekoffer sein sondern dezent aber trotzdem etwa organisiert, so dass nicht alles nur rumfliegt. Danke, bin gespannt auf Eure Hinweise.

leicavkk Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2013 Look at billingham and fogg. I have a bham digital Hadley - perfect for camera and lens and 2 additional lenses when walking around town. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leica lux Posted December 6, 2013 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2013 I don't like the typical photo bags..so my choice: Aunts&Uncles Hunter Leica M + lense attached + 2nd lense in bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted December 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2013 Billingham Hadley Small main compartment is good for 2 M bodies with lenses and middle slot will accommodate long barrelled M lens or two shorter ones back to back. Alternative is one M body with normal lens and 3 extra lenses with extras like VF/filters etc. In addition two front pockets and back of main compartment will take keys/wallet/phone/batteries/reading glasses, list goes on.

marcg Posted December 6, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 6, 2013 Billingham bags are great bags - but they are very heavy compared to lots of other very good quality bags. If you need the "country gamekeeper artisan" look then go for it - but you are getting a relatively bulky heavyweight canvas bag with heavy leather straps. All much tougher than one needs for such a relatively lightweight piece of kit. If you need the designer look, then get it ... but, hey, you have a Leica. Isn't that designer enough already?

If you like some other brand go for it whether you carry Leica or a trout. Big Bilinghams are heavier than small ones, Hadley Small is just under 800g, doubt you would find lighter bag of the similar grade and size. Waterproof and almost bulletproof bag, not expensive as some other designer bags, ideal to carry valuable camera kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted December 6, 2013 Share #7 Posted December 6, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) One more argument in favour for Billingham; bags are sold with very stylish storage canvas sack, also see RickLeica's thread http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m-type-240/310823-leica-box-saga-continues.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a smaller version, the litebag 1, made for the Leica M, with attached lens plus 2 others is in the making and will be available in January. It will be the same as the litebag 2 only smaller.

Ralfi Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share #17 Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks for all the recommendations. Wow, there is lots of great bags for cameras out there. I decided finally to take the Dothebag Mono _04. It is very compact but I love small lugagge. It is a really smart bag, doesn´t look like a phot bag, has great thick leather all over, good quality and lots of small compartments to fit in charger, filters etc. Also an iPad fits in easily and my 2 lenses (50mm/21mm). I want to add a 90 or 135mm lens as well and i can both bring them in this bag as well. Ok, then it´s filled up to the roof... Here are some pictures of the bag and one with my self on it to judge the size: Welcome, dear visitor!

norbertnl Posted February 3, 2014 Share #19 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks very much for bringing the dothebag mono 04 to my attention. I got one for myself in Berlin last Saturday. It's an awesome bag for a body and 28, 35, 50 set-up including charger, battery, EVF and OUFRO. Very nice due to its smaller size compared to the 09 which I had tested last year. Plus I liked the shopping experience at Fotopioniere on Karl-Marx-Allee 87 a lot Best regards, Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted February 3, 2014 Share #20 Posted February 3, 2014 I'd still go for a cheap canvas bag and make my one lining. The last thing I want people to think is "Hey - there's someone with an expensive camera..." For me, Hadley's and the like are definitely out. I use a Troop messenger a lot of the time.
