From front to back: M combination bag, Hadley small pro, Hadley pro 2020. I can fit everything easily into either, and choose bag depending on what else I need to carry. For example, if I need to carry a laptop I'll take the Hadley pro. The strap is from 595strapco. Not 100% convinced with the peak design strap system, I might go back to just regular straps. I also use other messenger style bags with my Billingham inserts if I need to be extra stylish. Welcome, dear visitor!

Antonio Russell Posted December 26, 2022 Share #267 Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have used various Billingham bags over the years, but recently switched to a Wotancraft pilot 7L after unscucesfully trying to buy a replacement insert for my Hadley Pro - Billingham have gone overboard with the Brexit restrictions and I was unable to source replacement inserts here in Spain in 2022. Their bags are nice, and I didn't mind paying extra for them, but that was on the understanding that they stood by their products... I am very happy with the Wotancraft.

In bad weather or if I need a little storage for an iPhone or something like that I take this little Lacoste bag. It is similar size to a Billingham stowaway but only half the price. 5 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

The combination bag surprisingly fits almost the same amount of gear in the main compartment. Given you can lay one m with lens attached horizontally on top. The Hadley small pro has more pockets, and also fits a kindle/ipad or a thin book between the padded insert and the back. I sold the combination bag and kept the Hadley small, as I find it prettier and more practical. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaS2 Posted December 27, 2022 Share #272 Posted December 27, 2022 SrMi, I put AirTags in any bag I use*. The fact that these bags have a specific hidden spot for a AirTag just shows you how well thought out the entire design and execution is. I have the smaller of the two designs. It does not scream “camera bag”, but it does look like an expensive bag of some sort, which it is. That will work fine in most places. The places it will not work are places I don’t recommend being. Maybe it helps that I am 6’4” and look mean? Most importantly with any bag, don’t leave bag in your car! Yeah, the AirTag will tell you where the bad guy took your bag, but It’s better for when I forget where I hid it last. Originally, I was a “camera over my shoulder and an extra lens in my pocket” guy. During the pandemic I just kept buying great lenses and finally said if I was going to carry a range of lenses why not get a bag designed by a Leica expert? Thankfully I was not disappointed, I was very appreciative. As beautiful as the leather is, I would not hesitate to take it on a short hike. So it gets scuffed up a bit, it’s to be used. Jack * I had an AirTag in a camera bag with an M10 Reporter I mailed to Mike Johnston of TOP. It started beeping and he asked what was going on. If you lend out a bag with an AirTag in it, best tell the recipient it’s is tagged. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted December 28, 2022 Share #274 Posted December 28, 2022 Handsome, but not a fan of any of those zippers. And, like the Oberwerth SL bag I briefly owned (and traded on the Billingham Hadley One), too rigidly structured for my tastes. But this is why bag threads proliferate.

FWIW, left it on driving to the office this afternoon & it didn’t obstruct at all. Actually, I noticed it rests perfect for a street shot while waiting at red light if desired. For a relatively heavy M lens/camera combination the holster feels really comfortable and is super easy to access or disappear to the side or behind me under my blazer, that I’m rarely without, when necessary. Feels a bit like Christmas morning today. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

paulscr Posted January 29, 2023 Share #278 Posted January 29, 2023 Ive gone hipster with a sling bag (Bellroy 6L). Comfortable for camera + additional lens. Any more - I’d probably go 9L. Having used messenger bags in the past - I like the weight and size of the sling + having it at my chest - just feels more secure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo.JLG Posted February 2, 2023 Share #279 Posted February 2, 2023 I own several bags Oberwerth, Billingham etc. However, I must confess that for me for my M11 the most practical has been the Nomatic Slng by Peter McKinnon 8L. It is as if it was made for the M11. It can very conformably fit the M11 and 3 lenses and or more if you double the lenses up with the OP/TECH USA Double Lens Mount Cap. Here is the link: https://www.nomatic.com/collections/camera-slings/products/mckinnon-camera-sling-8l It is incredibly practical with interior pockets for filters, memory cards, extra battery etc. The quick latch system is great for changing lenses on the fly. It even has a luggage pass strap. It is also very well made and weather sealed. I always feel my gear is well protected and It is great to be able to keep it close to me in a very compact unobtrusive bag. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rob L Posted February 2, 2023 Share #280 Posted February 2, 2023 I have a Nomadic sling as well. Really perfect shape for Leica M. I can Carry two bodies and an extra lens. Very well designed. Similar to PD sling in terms of Inovations, but much more logical shape. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
