A couple of years ago - in Lissabon - Lisboa - I had the trekker totally stuffed with Hasselblad gear and I even carried my M6 around the neck. My Whife and my kids set of for a day out in town and walked all the way across town and up to the fortress on the hill- on our way out in the early hours I did stop up and got some grea shots especially with the SWCM. On the way down we passed a flee market and my whife bought a console table - thre legs half circle mable table top/plate and a frame - I managed to disasemble it with my leatherman tool and got every thing except the marble top tied on to the straps for holding tripods etc. on the lowePre. The taple top plate I carried in my arms - My whife was kind eneugh to carry my M6! 3 hours later we returned to the small motel (cheap hotel) and I was reliefed of my burden - but I was really happy - and I also felt that I grew an inch or so after getting the stuff of my back. Any way Perrins a stylish - non nylon gorretex - all natural cowhide - and afther soaking then in sadlle greas/ and wax even the straps seem to be good - you should really spoil your selfes with one if you find it cheap somewere. best Ruben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Williams" <leicachris@worldnet.att.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 9:21 PM Subject: [Leica] Re: Perrin Leather Bags from the 1940/50ties > Stop carrying so many heavy E-1's. > > Chris > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "B.
