It's called a gender bendering L2 now. > Hi Mark, I've purchased 3 Billingham bags in 3 different sizes over the last few years. A really big bag for my R system, a mid-size bag for M stuff and most recently the Billingham Leica bag (for my LTM equipment). I was fortunate enough to get 2 of these after they had been "previously enjoyed" for prices that suggested the owners enjoyed them about as much as I enjoyed my one and only Ford. Best camera bags for utility made! They wear like iron! BTW, did you notice that if you scramble Alice it spells leicA? Regards, Greg
