Re: [Leica] carrying case for M6

["George Kenney" <georgekenney@earthlink.net>]

I like the Filson field bags, which can be used with a variety of 
combinations of Domke foam panel inserts. It's a waxed canvas 
bag with bridle leather straps. Their leather is a bit stiff, but with a 
generous application of Lexol it turns to butter, but very, very 
sturdy. The medium field bag can hold two cameras and two or 
three lenses, plus odds and ends. The small bag one camera and 
or two lenses, plus extras. I have both, use both, and think they are 
great. Added benefit it that they don't 'look' like camera bags. And 
so far as I know this would be a highly original solution. Check out 
www.filson.com. (All their stuff is top quality, made in the USA.)

Cheers,

G.
