While a large bag or backpack is nice for transporting a lot of gear, when I’m at the destination I often want to take my camera in a minimal fashion (to say dinner) and don’t want a big bag with me. see #329 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Hi Einst_Stein, Take a look here What bag to carry the M-11 in?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Einst_Stein Posted February 27, 2023 Share #342  Posted February 27, 2023 On 2/26/2023 at 3:34 AM, fisheess said: In this case just carry the camera alone. If you look for camera bags, they are usually not packable because of the padding. There are plenty of packable slings, they just don't provide any protection. Lens pouch has very good protection. More flexible and fits better. Protect insert is another option. I use two types of camera bag, one for transportation, another for easy access. Transportation bag is backpack, has very good protection, easy access bag is light and convenient. Both must fit my body very well and comfortable to carry. Dedicated camera bag is hard to find with good fitting. I have bought many many camera bag, Finally I realized limiting to dedicated camera bag is hard to find perfect fit.

Kiwimac Posted February 27, 2023 Share #343  Posted February 27, 2023 I’ve found one design flaw in my Fogg Lyre.  The clogball used to close the main flap is brass and screw mounted. No problem with that.  The problem is that when closed, the back side where the brass screw head is rests on the leather strip that forms the front of the magnetically closed front pocket beneath the closed main flap. It’s marking the leather and over time would scratch it. I’ve put gaffer tape over the screw, which solves the problem, but I’m surprised the problem exists at all given the level of thought and attention to detail found in these bags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take a PD sling or Hadley pro small in that case.  I’ve ordered the Hex Ranger cross body sling to see how it works. It’s made to be a camera pouch. Seems pretty small and will fold down flat. https://www.hexbrand.com/products/ranger-crossbody-black 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I went for the larger bag, which I’m happy with as it also allows me to carry a rain jacket (which you’ll need in the. Cotswolds!) and a bottle of water, or my Q2 and M11, which I never do. It is unnecessary large for a one camera one lens set up though, for which I’m using a Peak Design 3L sling. Of course, I’ll end up buying the Hadley Small as well but I’m trying to restrain myself for a few more months. As expected, I gave in yesterday and bought a Hadley Pro Small (sage with chocolate leather). 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has ever fallen out of the front pocket once the outer flap is closed tightly. I’m sure that Nigel will respond to any concern you might have. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And finally the Billingham 72, which is actually all you need for one camera and one lens …. I actually bought two so I can carry two cameras, one lens each, and spread the load. Very effective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinetic Posted March 8, 2023 Share #355 Â Posted March 8, 2023 I use a Chrome Industries Kovac in blackhttps://www.westernbikeworks.com/product/chrome-kovac-sling-bag I think it's discontinued, but it's a perfect bag to hold a body with lens + at least one more lens. The straps on the bottom for a "jacket" works great to pack a smaller travel tripod as well. I usually put the camera in a neoprene sleeve, and the lenses in their own pouches. Sometimes if I just bring the camera with lens, I'll just put it straight in the bag as long as nothing else is in there. IF it's empty, you can squish it pretty flat to pack.

gunther35 Posted March 10, 2023 Share #357  Posted March 10, 2023 I must admit I’m a little bit of a bag junkie too and can share my experience with various bags I use. My primary style of photography is travel/street. My primary objective is carrying a kit for the day with the least weight. I also like being stealthy so all my bags, cameras, lenses, jackets are black. 3 kits I use for the Leica M system starting with the smallest/lightest:  Wotancraft Pilot bag Volume: 2L Weight Bag: 300g Fits -Leica M 10-P with 35mm Summilux FLE without hood     -Ricoh GR III     -extra batteries  Peak Design Sling Bag Volume: 3L Weight Bag: 550g Fits -Leica m10–P with 35mm Summilux FLE with hood     -Leica M6 with 35mm Summarit 2.4 with hood     -extra batteries  Ona Bowery Bag in black nylon Volume: 4L Weight Bag: 662g Fits -Leica m10–P with 35mm Summilux FLE with hood     -Leica M6 with 35mm Summarit 2.4 with hood     -28mm Elmarit 2.8 with hood     -50mm Summarit 2.4 with hood     -Optech back to back lens holder     -extra batteries Welcome, dear visitor!

samiik Posted March 19, 2023 Share #360  Posted March 19, 2023 Regarding half case, I’ve got experience with Arte Di Mano (M10M) and Oberwerth (M11). Arte Di Mano is significantly better in terms of used material, cut precision, durability, feel. However, it is fair to mention that Arte Di Mano is almost twice more expensive and it has long delivery times. So my opinion: if the price and time is not an issue for you, Arte Di Mano. Otherwise Oberwerth is ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
