Hi everyone,

Sad to say but I just did a percentage check on the on-topic Leica 
posts here on the last digests and about 75% were either about lawyers
or camera bags. Nowadays it's become an intellectual gospel group about
non-Leica stuff :( than a semi-humorous discussion about Leica
equipment. I don't mind non-Leica stuff personally but I personally
would like to hear about the philosophy of photography or something
about Ralph Gibson's fashion photog or something vaguely connected to
Leitz by 3% Leitz content. It's not like I mind digressions but when
there are more talk about nothing related to Leica than Leica topics it
makes you wonder why this list isn't called the coffeehouse chat room
rather than the LUG to be honest.

My 2 cents about camera bags is buy what you like. Don't let anyone 
determine what you ought to use. Shoot pictures and if I don't feel 
comfortable, change the setup. I use Domke bags personally because I 
have a small one which fits my Bessas and M's.

It's back to shooting...

Alfie, 

I agree with you. This is the LUG: "Leica Users' Group" NOT "Lawyer
Users' Group". And threads on bags are of interest only to those
currently thinking of buying one; to others, they are boring. For that
reason, I can't see why you have started yet another thread about Domke
bags  ;-)

Regards,
