[Leica] Anyone using National Photographic bags?

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Nathan at the very least the Crumpler site is entertaining. Regarding the 
Fogg bags, they are custom made by some South African folk
living in France. Wallet wilting and very long lead times. They make 
everything else look cheap. A great place to have a browse
though.

<http://www.crumpler.com.au/home.php> you need to turn your sound on to 
appreciate the experience.

<http://www.foggspecialistbags.com/> Nigel and bee would be most happy to 
hear from you.

Cheers
Hoppy

Thanks Hoppy. I am quite familiar with Crumpler, and actually bought one 
of their bags once, but sold it again--it was way too bulky relative to 
what it could hold. This is the problem I have with many photo bags. I 
am not familiar with Fogg, but if they are similar to Billingham, then 
there are 2 problems: price and the difficulty of getting to the 
equipment. I once had a couple of Billinghams, and found them nice and 
stylish, except that it was bloody difficult to get the equipment in and 
out of the bag.

Cheers,
Nathan
