mbc 1944 Posted February 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Could use some suggestions for an SL carry case. I bought an ONA Hamilton to transport my SL and various lenses on trips. Plan to have it serve as my carry on luggage. But once I reach my destination, it's far too big to use. Question: assume you are carting the SL with zoom lens, a spare M lens or two, batteries, charger (maybe not) and a notebook and power bar after all of this weight, what's your recommendation for a daily carry bag? Thanks, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted February 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2016 The Billingham 225 or Tenba Messenger Mini both work well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted February 5, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2016 Billingham f1.4 is fine for SL+zoom, M lens (poss. 2) and tablet (Surface Pro 3 for me). Not sure why you'd want a charger for a day bag, but it's possible. Paper notebook in the outer pocket. Anything smaller than this would be too small.

Arai Posted February 5, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I use Billingham S4 to carry my SL+zoom, MP240+28lux and 50APO. It's not too heavy as everyday bag and I love the color.

And it is really weather proof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too heavy as everyday bag and I love the color. That looks very nice! The color is delightful ... I wonder how well it will age.

Arai Posted February 5, 2016 Share #8 Posted February 5, 2016 That looks very nice! The color is delightful ... I wonder how well it will age. I think it will age the same with other billingham bag. This is the new line that billingham developed over Hadley line, they reduce the height, expand the bottom so camera bigger than M240 can snug in easily. It's about the same volume as Hadley pro just shorter and wider.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the same volume as Hadley pro just shorter and wider.. Yes, I looked them up on the Billingham site. Very nice line: if I'd see that before I bought the 225, I'd have gotten one of them instead. They don't seem to be available in the US yet—no one has them listed here that I've seen. I might have to pick one up when next I'm visiting my friends over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc 1944 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted February 5, 2016 Answering my own question, I found the SL plus zoom fits perfectly into my Fogg bleica bag with Ive used for years with various M cameras. Must retract the lens and only room for spare memory cards and cleaning cloth, but works great and has a nice wide strap. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcomarin69 Posted February 12, 2016 Share #11 Posted February 12, 2016 I just saw in a COACH store here in Singapore a new messenger bag for cameras and not expensive compared with LV ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
