Product Description

"Billingham" Combination Case... The most flexible case for your Leica M (or Digilux 3) equipment holds either two M cameras with two lenses or one camera and three lenses. It provides easy and compact transportation even for large lenses or with a LEICAVIT-M or LEICA MOTOR-M fitted. A zipped compartment also provides space for a LEICA SF 24D flash and for films and other accessories. Waterproof canvas. Billingham chooses the very best materials and uses them in a way that takes maximum advantage of their natural properties, then manufactures the product to precise quality standards. That's why Billingham bags have solid brass fittings, top-grain leather, the best threads and fittings you can find - and a reputation to match. The Combination bag features a zipperless main compartment which has quick access to your gear, as well as excellent weatherproofing. It features quick release studs that hold down the top, which is gusseted on the sides for extra precipitation protection, along with interior front and back pockets plus adjustable interior dividers

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Camera Bag for A 35mm Rangefinder Camera and Three Lenses, November 17, 2007

I love Billingham bags so much, that I own several, including this compact litte bag that is sold directly by Leica Camera to those owning its 35mm rangefinder cameras. But it is a compact enough bag that will also interest owners of other 35mm rangefinder cameras, especially Zeiss Ikon and Voigtlander. This Billingham bag has ample room to hold one rangefinder camera with a lens attached, plus extra space for two additional lenses, depending on their overall sizes (However, I have used this bag with two Leica M rangefinder cameras with lenses attached with them, leaving enough space for a third additional lens.). There is one ample side pocket with a zipper lock that's large enough to hold a small handheld light meter like a Gossen or Minolta, a compact pair of binoculars such as the Zeiss Victory 8 x 20, and a few rolls of film. I also greatly appreciate the shoulder pad which comes with the bag, allowing me to carefully distribute the bag's weight across my back and shoulder. Billingham bags are extremely well made and are designed to take a lot of physical abuse. They may be expensive, but they will protect well your photo equipment for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Bag I'll Ever Own, July 8, 2009

Originally, I bought this bag to go with my Leica M8. Having sold the Leica and getting a Nikon D300 I thought this bag would be useless. I was mistaken. It is the perfect size to house my D300 and a 17-55mm lens. The bag is lovely and small, it holds everything I need and looks great. I used it all over Provence last year.[...]

It's the ideal bag for anyone who doesn't want to carry a large camera bag, but wants to protect their baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Bag!!!, June 7, 2007

I have had several camera bags over the years -- too large, too small, not configured right, etc. This is the first bag I have had that really is built for the camera. My M8 with a 35mm fits perfectly over the 21mm on one side and the 50mm on the other. Digital recorder, memory card, extra battery and insect repellant (Georgia) in the zippered front.

Yes, it was worth the money.
