I have one that I picked up for $30 in a pile of weird junk bags at
Buzz's favorite local camera emporium. It's held up so far, but it's
worth just what I paid for it.

I'm quite amused - surprise - at the celebration of the Leitz logo being
added to the bag. Talk about inviting theft; not that your average thief
knows Leitz, but gussying up the bag will definitely make it more of a
target. But hell, it makes it easier to convince oneself that one is
HCB! Oh, wait, didn't he just carry a second lens and some rolls of film
in a tiny shoulder bag?

Feh. I bought one of those bags made by Leitz way back when, and it was
a terrible bag. It was poorly made and did not hold up to even moderate
usage. I ended up using an LL Bean rucksack instead; it was much higher
quality.
