For day to day the R8 or 9 and two Varios ride in a LowePro 3 All Weather. For a somewhat larger kit, I load up the Domke F-3X. You know; the unimposing light brown one with unimpressive canvas straps. For me, just right. Regards, Bob in Seattle (where it's raining for the first time in weeks. Go figure.)

I consider myself the leading advocate being Aussie, just like the bag designs. I have the six million dollar home and I like it a lot for an M outfit. Periodically we have a crumpler thread. Go to the site for some sample outfits shown with some bags. The site should be just your cup of tea, as well. Hours of entertainment for the whole family. I have no idea what substance the web designer is on. At one point they had a poster showing a woman modelling every type of bag in their range for size comparisons. Drop me a line if you need any translations on their unique take on the English language. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] now that i know what's in your bag, i need a new one i have that big domke -- and i like it. but it's very often too much bag for the job. very frequently, i'll go out wanting to take the leica d200, w/ the vertical grip, the 18-70 attached, and, maybe one other lens, say the 80-200. or that and a flash. so i could use another bag about 40% the size of the "little bit bigger bag" that i have. the leica d200 with the drive and a big zoom like the sigma 12-24 makes the camera basically a cube about 8 inches to a side -- i like to lay it in my bag on it's side for easy grabbing of the grip -- so a reasonable center compartment is all i really need, and then an exterior pocket or so. any recommendations? kc _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
