[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had a M Classic, but now regret having sold it. It's a very practical bag for pros. The access to any equipment is a no-nonsense quick in/out. Though there's no padding, but the material used is thick enough for any protective, plus the partitioning is adjustable by velcro. It also carries a surprising amount of gear. It hangs comfortably and when opened, the entire interior is wide-open. Also, the material, although feels like cotton, is actually synthetic and immune to mold rottings. It's washable and the best part is "it doesn't look like a camera bag". Damn, I really regret having sold mine. - --- neilsphoto <neilsphoto@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hey users > > The M Classic bags look an awful lot like the old > red Leica bags. > Are the a copy of that bag?
