Very durable, well made, leather trimmings, and waterproof to boot. Cost me $65 in a small high-end camera shop in Annecy, France. BTW, they had a very nice Leica section with all kinds of R and M equipment, new and used. Another bag I love is the Lowepro Sideline Shooter. It is shaped like a narrow half-moon, and holds an M with any lens mounted, as well as 2-3 more lenses, light meter, and plenty of film. No shoulder strap, though, and the belt is not detachable, AND its not waterproof. Very ergonomic though, and works well on the waist while working. About $60.
