I bought one of these. It’s a very good fit for the Q3.

It is not enough to have a Leica to respond in a dignified manner!

Not sure what is wrong with the bag I posted. It’s a nice and well designed bag, it’s sturdy and will protect the Q. Has a strap and an handle, so you can choose to carry it crossbody or carry it by hand. Certainly it’s more dignified than a cheap and ugly average Lowepro.
Besides, Leica had a collaboration with Hermès, so why not a Louis Vuitton?

Just as a reminder, the Hermès set was priced at 50.000$, the LV bag is a bargain by comparison.

I was curious, so I checked the price.

Almost 10k usd. I’ll save that money for Q4…

That was also my first reaction. Moreover, what is the user going to do with the bag when actually using the camera? Leave it on the floor where it can be stolen?

You can carry it crossbody with the strap, like literally every single bag out there.

So... 1/5 of the Hermès edition, and still less than a M11 + a Leica lens.

A bargain!

If there is one thing I have learned from the internet, it’s that all Leica owners are just filthy rich fools that spend ridiculous amounts of money on cameras that are just jewellery anyway.

I will take ten of those bags! Just because I can!* 🤣

 

*may not actually be true…

I think the Peak Design bags are proportionately priced, well-designed and well-built. I bought this one for when I want to carry just my Q3 and a few other things, I am very happy with it, (I tried the 3L and found it just a little too small.)

Well, wifey just sold 2 LV bags. 8-10 years in heavy use. 

Loss? Not a single cent!

I love the gloves! 
🧤 

always wearing gloves when I use the q’s

I went with a peak design every day bag. 
this bag is disappearing in public. You don’t feel it and it’s stealthy. 
 

for my Olympus om2 I had the first tenba. 
I loved that you could make it bigger and smaller if needed. 
 

cheers

I am sorry: I find your first sentence ambiguous. Do you mean by "disappearing" that it is "invisible" in public?  Or that people steal them from your back?

Best,

David

Yes invisible. Stealthy. 

But maybe you want to steal it,he? 
 

by the way the tenba got stolen but not on the street.

Thanks for the clarification. I have often wondered whether thieves could just cut the straps when the bag is behind you and make off with the bag without you being able to stop them.

They can.   Over the years have had two customers who had the basic scenario.

Someone distracts them (ask direction or some such)…someone comes up from behind with one of those evilly sharp box cutters, slices a strap, yanks and they were gone.

Unfortunately a determined thief is often successful.

That’s why as mentioned in another thread always have insurance or a no fault warranty coverage that includes theft.

For my Q (116) I have a ThinkTank Mover 10. I have a combination grip / L-plate on the camera, a Artisan Artist strap and carry a spare battery. A perfect snug fit that works for me.

8-10 years of heavy use and no loss? That’s kinda unbelievable….

This only strengthen my suggestion. Nobody would dare to cut the strap of a Luis Vuitton bag!

My ex gf also had a LV bag for about 3 years and she sold it for slightly more than the retail price. Long story short, she found a local buyer that was looking to acquire one immediately. I’ve been told that this is not uncommon in the luxury bag market.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica Q

I think this is true of many luxury items.

Myself and my father each purchased a Rolex in the mid 70’s, paid about $800 each.

About 5 years ago they were gifted to my two son’s….now valued at about $10000 on the pre-owned market.

And as Leica owners we fall into this category.  In 1990 a new M6 retailed for about $2200.  A good used M6 today runs $3000-$4000.

It does pay to buy ‘quality’.
