RE: [Leica] Re: Ideal bag for M6 & 35mm ASPH

Hello All--

I've watched the bag discussion with great interest of late, and have seen a
few favored brands rise to the top. Domke, Hadley, a few for Crumpler and
Lowe, and Seth's Classic M series, and Jerry's Genuine Used and Stonewashed
Diaper Bags seem to be among the favorites. My question is, where does
Tamrac fit in all of this? Do folks use Tamrac? Do you like them? Any
opinions? (Yes, I am doing some informal marketing research, if you must
know!)

Thanks!

Kit

The best bag I have ever had is the Domke F-5XB. It's great! Discreet and
lovely.
Perfect for travelling. Put your camera, passport and cigarettes and just
go.
It's good-looking and it doesn't look like a camerabag, which is good if you
out traveling.
The nice thing is that it easily can hold your Leica with a couple of
lenses, and
if you want to, it can hold an EOS-1 with a mounted lens and an extra one,
and
even a flash. If you don't have like those super-zooms. It makes you to
think what
you will carry around, not just fill the bag with stuff you'll never use.
That's an incredible bag. That's my point. There's no other. If you ask me.

Paul
