It is a bag designed for fast Leica style, photojournalistic photography. There is no padding, and it’s not at all bulky. It will accept Domke foam inserts if you need padding while travelling. The straps are attached at the rear of the bag instead of the sides so it hangs nicely angled off the shoulder, and there are no straps to reach around when using the bag. The bag has a suspended inner pocket that is designed for a M body/lens. It holds the camera on its side in a ready to grab position. There is also a long flap of material in the inside the rest of the main compartment of the bag that wraps around other pieces of equipment protecting them. Flexible design. There are three outer pockets on the front, which are large enough for film, accessories, and even small lenses. Additionally, there is a map/document pocket in the rear. The bag is made of a material that feels like cotton, but is woven with titanium fibers for tear and puncture resistance. It feels like cotton duck more than cotton twill. Strong but not abrasive. It easily cleans up with soap and water. It has a lint free lining that is sealed with urethane for great water resistance. It is approximately 11x14x3. The hardware is solid brass and we trimmed it in top grain leather. It can close with either snaps or Velcro for security as well as quick access to your camera. I have a website: www.mclassics.com if you are on line. There is a review of the bag by a fellow in Sweden, Hans Pahlen, who has a great Leica website. The public library usually has a computer to use if you don’t have an internet connection at home. It sells for $93+6 shipping. I hope this has been helpful, please let me know if you have any other questions, Seth Levine M Classics 617-787-2105 >
