[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Good morning, LUG: The recent Fogg/Billingham/Lowe dialogue brings to mind a recent [potential] gear bag discovery in the 1998 Handbook of the Leica System. I didn't anticipate finding the "perfect bag" in the Handbook, this looks like an exceptional gear container/protector. On page 1-51 of the handbook is described a new bag called the Leica "Outdoor". This is a different bag than the leather-trimmed olive or black "New Generation" bags. It is all black and made primarily of ballistic nylon. It looks quite sturdy and low key in the pictures provided. No red dots to tape over! /8-) I'm an R user, and if cleverly arranged, the internal dimensions of the larger bag [they come in two sizes] are 30cmW x 23cmH x 15cm D, and offer room to store plenty of gear. I am curious to learn if any LUGgers are using this bag, or have seen it and knows about it, as my search for the perfect bag continues... Meanwhile, I have taken the plunge and ordered one, and will let you know. Perhaps other "perfect bag" seekers should include this one in their search. Enjoy the light. Greg Bicket
