John, is the leather treated in case you get caught in the rain?

 

What did you use for carry after arrival in Hawaii... or for other daily use?

Look at the newest Billingham bags - the Hadley One looks promising for being a bit more of an all rounder.

 

Also - Leica store Mayfair showed me the new Billinghm bag for Leica SL recently. Perfect with 24-90.

Don't yet see the SL bag....is it just big enough for the SL+24-90, or will it accommodate both zooms?

 

Too bad the Hadley One only has half-inserts (and only one standard), unless substituting one from the Pro or the Packington.

The trouble with Hadleys is they are indestructible. I have had a Hadley small for 20 years minimum and it gets a bit scruffier but won't wear out. I daren't buy another bigger one. Like the op I would like a bag to carry an M9 and an SL, plus in my case a couple of M lenses. That ona looks nice. But stowing them too tightly will lead to confusion in a rush, so the cameras each need their own compartment and then a couple of tube sections for lenses. Then there's the little brush, cloths, room for my wallet and phone.

 

Ps the SL is minus those brutally big lenses. I'm using M lenses

Don't think you will see it on websites as Leica rep at Mayfair said currently made to order. It is absolutely designed for SL and 24-90 fitted, even to the extent that the foam base is sculpted to hold the body, then lens and hood. And that foam is way firmer than you normally found. Front pocket similar to other Leica Billingham bags.
