I know this may sound silly, but I purchased the Leica leather wrap they sell on their website. I wrap my Leica up in that and toss into my normal everyday backpack. I don't actually travel with a camera bag as such. When home my Leica just lives on my desk.

I don't think that's silly at all. I use the Artisan & Artist soft pouch for my Q3 and travel with it in the same way (i.e., in my day rucksack). I much prefer that to having it constantly hanging somewhere from me on my person. When I think I'm going to be using the camera it's out of the bag and the camera strap is around my neck.

Exactly! My view is that a normal everyday rucksack/backpack gives far more flexibility and usability than a dedicated camera bag ( for non professional use that is ). The other plus is a normal backpack doesn't yell out loud, ' camera bag packed with expensive gear '.

I use the Chrome industries kadet sling. I'll always swear by it. Is it a camera bag? Nope. But its a fraction of the price of most "camera bags" and fits better than all of them. Its designed for bike messengers so it fits super snug against my back and doesn't swing around at all. Can be slung around the body for quick access and comes with lifetime warranty with chrome.  Cant beat it

I like it minimalistic, small and light to match the Q3. I ended up with the Manfrotto Advanced 3 shoulder bag S. Fits very well for the camera, small accessories, spare battery and cell phone; also inexpensive.

I carry the Q on its strap and never use a bag.

Unless I need a bag anyway for my purse, my glasses, my cigarettes, my lighter etc. If at the same time I could put my Q into this bag then this is fine.

My preferred bag for an M or Q series camera is the Wotancraft Pilot 2L.  It is discrete and unassuming.  It has travelled many many miles around the world.

^^^ I agree.

I bought a Wotancraft 3.5L for my Q2M a couple months ago. I love the looks, functionality, craftsmanship, and the flexibility to tailor it to one’s needs.

Plenty of room to get the Q in and out quickly + a point-and-shoot (Sony RX100), filters, strap, spare battery, cards, etc. Yet it is small, light, easy to carry, weather-resistant, and unassuming in appearance. (Btw, the canvas is darker and slightly more olive-coloured than these snaps show.)

I am so happy with it I likely will buy their 7L so I can add my Nikon SLR if I can convince myself they’ll both fit.

But bags are such personal choices — so much depends upon your tastes and which bag characteristics you prioritize above the others . . . .
