I use this for putting my MP with lens into a rucksack / other bag - very happy with it so far: http://www.artisan-n-artist.com/product_detail.php?id=260

From the manufacturers' description:  This camera pouch can be used by both men and women.

Who'd have thought it!  A&A should be congratulated on their innovation.

I think it just means that it's not too complicated for men to use.

For my tuppence worth I look towards the climbing community and use these for stowing cameras and lenses in rucksacks etc.

they also do a neoprene zip pouch for phones etc.

Can't really see the point of leather pouches inside a rucksack, who's going to admire them, unless it's a chat-up line?

Those concerned about the adverse effect a small camera manbag might have on their reputation (or perhaps unwilling to contemplate a male 'pouch') might wish to buy one of these, designed for real men to hold their Leicas.

A great idea but, sadly, the cost becomes prohibitive when you factor in the kilt and other accessories.

Leaving everything else aside, having "always wear a camera" emblazoned on the pouch is surely a bit naff is it not? Presumably these are repurposed make-up purses or something like that?

I don't want to get into taking the piss (the Thorsten "luxury" thing makes it too easy) but I was struck by this little gem of nauseating marketing speak – "Handmade in Italy of the finest materials, by the finest people, for the most awesome people in the world". 🤮😂

I was more put-off by the price.

I've just ordered the pouch, in sand colour. It's cost me £33 on Amazon. The difference is that it's the Domke F901 pouch.
