Hi Pascal,

There is a factory in France that makes wonderful leather bags.
The good point is that it is hard to know from the outside that
it's a bag for cameras. One of my friend has two of them , one small (for
a body and two lenses), and a second big one, for like 2 bodies
and lenses.

They make an entire line of bags. I think that
there are some especially for the M cameras.
The mark is V F Reporter.

I didn't found info on the Web, I will try to get a catalog and
scan it.

May be our French Luggers have more info?

Xavier.
