bernie.lcf Posted June 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, I went to check out this bag at my local dealer in Vienna... the bag itself is quite nice, obviously well made and not too girly. As the pictures suggest, it fits an iPad, some Smartphone, has a zipped pocket for a wallet and takes the Q in a rather interesting way. While the Q will fit nicely, it will not fit with the grip and I don't think it will fit with the protector. However, the real issues is: the Q will not fit with the lens hood attached. You can still close the bag's flap somehow, but there is a visible and disturbing 1-2cm gap. I wanted to share this - perhaps it saves you a trip to town Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalfx Posted June 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2015 However, the real issues is: the Q will not fit with the lens hood attached. WOW, this is a serious oversight. How do you possibly make such a mistake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie.lcf Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted June 18, 2015 WOW, this is a serious oversight. How do you possibly make such a mistake? you should have seen the face of my dealer - he has not checked because he had not thought of this possibility...

alee Posted June 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 18, 2015 So close, yet so far... if they had made the tablet slot into a full compartment as well, it would probably be a bit more future-proof. I wonder if I could commission a custom bag to be built for roughly the same amount of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted June 18, 2015 Share #5 Posted June 18, 2015 WOW, this is a serious oversight. How do you possibly make such a mistake? No mistake but a deliberate choice on Leica’s part. A bulge gets impractical if it is too large. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted June 19, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 19, 2015 No mistake but a deliberate choice on Leica’s part. A bulge gets impractical if it is too large. Well if this is deliberate, then whoever deliberately designed it never uses a camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted June 19, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 19, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) http://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-Q/Accessories/Q-Camera-accessories/Day-Bag As they say 'Impeccable design' and 'holds everything you need' Personally I'll stick with my Billingham 'Hadley small' and old and battered 'Hadley Pro' when I need to carry a bit more. Basically I'm afraid it is just a bag for the 'Fashionistas' and not of any real practical use unless you really need an enormous black red dot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted June 27, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 27, 2015 Lowe Pro Adventura SH100 II fits perfect for the Q with hood, without grip. Its light, small, not too expensive and gives good protection. Very fast access to camera too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie.lcf Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted July 7, 2015 Like I said: "You can still close the bag's flap somehow, but there is a visible and disturbing 1-2cm gap." (yes, I actually tried that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwmount Posted July 7, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 7, 2015 The gap is no problem! Since the Lens is fixed, no dust can reach the sensor! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie.lcf Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted July 7, 2015 The gap is no problem! Since the Lens is fixed, no dust can reach the sensor! I don't think you get the point. If you are going to buy the day bag, I suggest you take a look at this before you hand over the credit card... You'll see what I mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwmount Posted July 7, 2015 Share #12 Posted July 7, 2015 I bought cameras an lenses from Leica, but i would never buy the overpriced and unpractical accessory st@ff...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
