[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just got the new Billingham 206 and, so far, I find it to be just about right for 2M6s, 4-6 lenses, and a small flash. Of course I can't tell you how many camera bags I've owned over the years. BTW, does anyone else remember that Domke once made an M bag specifically for Leica rangefinders? I bought one about 7-8 years ago from Camera One in Florida and haven't seen them anywhere since. Just right for 1-2 bodies and 1-2 lenses - but not much else.

I also carry with me a little Lowepro "NOVA 1" ( 1 M6 + 50mm or 35mm + 1 lens + films + documents) if I want to go outside with less equipment. B.M. Caruso Sao Paulo - Brazil Buy the Tamrac Superlight 8. It will fit everything you list and is a lightweight and padded bag. The Domke bags are not padded. - -----Original Message----- From: Wood, Darrell (London) [mailto:wooddar@MLE.CO.UK] Sent: Monday, January 18, 1999 1:58 AM To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us'; leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Help - Bag to travel with M6's - This must be a common problem.

Gitzo Table tripod I need a camera bag to cover the following trip this year * 2 weeks Mexico/Belize * 1 weeks Boat Diving * 1 Week trekking to Mexico City. * 3 weeks trekking in Borneo I will be carrying either a day pack or a full ruck sack so I think a rucksack bag maybe a problem. I have had the LOWEPro Orion AW which fits on the waist but it is to big. Other ideas I have toyed with are. * 2 small Orion mini bags * A Pelican water proof case with a Lowebag inside for trekking. Leaving the hard case in the ruck sack. Basically I needsit to be * Compact * Comfortable to carry * Either waterproof or highly resistant so I can leave it on the boat when I go diving. Many thanks in advance Regards Darrell
