I could walk across three states with it back there and never touch the stuff. Its gone. May as well be home. But mainly I hate the way they make my armpits feel. And the heartbreak of being "pitted out". Not real great for formal occasions or trying to socialize and make a great impression. A sling bag is really the same as a side bag but you can swing it out of the way behind you a bit more efficiently. This is not obvious when you look at one. A demonstration is in order. I saw a demonstration at B&H of one. Came back next week and got it. The man who demonstrated was of course a Hasidic Jew with all the not common to see accoutrements they have. So it was very interesting to see. I think two of the sling bags now have a second strap to turn them into a full backpack in case you are crossing several state lines in one walk. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Ric Carter <ricc at embarqmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 19:46:00 -0400 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] have you seen the most perfect camera backpack? > > i'm enjoying a slingbag right now > > much easier than a backpack--half as many straps > > ric
