Used Leica Bag

[dave lackey]

Anyone have an idea what this bag would be worth? Anyone ever use it and if so, what is your opinion?

[Michiel Fokkema]

I have on and it sucks. Mine has hard inserts which can't be removed and only fit a M. Not flexible at all.
Worth? Hard to predict. I's say nothing but you might find someone who wants one. It is made of real lather though.
Cheers,

About £35 pounds in the UK - the leather is top (and soft) quality - roughly US $56.

these bags are great if you don't use a case or a softie on your camera, the camera fits very tightly in it.

I guess if one needs a red dot, then its worth a few bucks.

These bags are selling in local US Midwest camera swap meets for $50 to $75.

I have used one for almost 20 years and like it. Here's why it works for me:

1. The hard insert makes the sides and bottom secure
2. The strap is double thick and wraps under the bottom of the bag
3. The double zippered top gives easy access to the contents
4. The front snap pocket is great for quick access to maps, a shutter release, etc.
5. The leather has worn well.
6. The four corners of the bottom have metal bumper guards

Others will have different ideas about the bag but I like and use mine.

I don't know if I would even want to carry around the Leica bag. I would rather have some shabby looking little nylon bag if any bag at all...

You could always put black duct tape over the red dot and a few other places to make it looks shabby. But, where I go, I have never worried about being mugged here in the southland. If I did, I would probably get a special ops PO-LICE bag somewhere to carry around.
