I have had the billinghams but found them a little too small [Alice] and the hadley, although a great bag a little to much Rupert bearish for my style. The ortleib is at home in the subway and the dark areas of town as it is on a mountain, that is why i like it !!!! May i take this opportunity to say that i am amazed at your knowledge of Leicas John !!!!!! Hope this helps in shortening the journey for the Holy Grail JEFF !!!!!!! Regards Paul Loading up with the noctilux for some night shots (it is 19.00 here in Sweden and as black as the ace of spades) The bag looks great as long as you do not open it! The waterproof zipper is right on top and would let water in if opened with out drying the bag first. Ortlieb make fantastic stuff; fantastic for transporting gear in wet conditions. It is not very good for USING gear in wet conditions. The Billingham Alice and Hadley bags are rain proof and have a large flap allows you to open the bag and still keep the water out.

I found this bag on the internet; does it fasten > to one's belt, or is it held only by shoulder harness? > -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
