I thought it screamed bend me over a chair and make a boy out of me.

Sometimes I'm embarrassed by what I think of.

I dunno.

Looks like the kind of fancy bag a Dentist would use to carry a Leica to me.

Re: Bag Heaven in Europe

[Igor PDML-StR]

The bag looks sharp, but it would be too small for me (but I see how it 
fits your smallish Oly Pen kit).
And the price is a bit too steep. But you are buying the looks and the 
feel. :-)



Just in case someone is interested, - the same bag (and a black one) is 
available via the Australian reseller fishpond.com  for 155 USD including 
the delivery (from UK).

http://www.fishpond.com/c/Electronics/q/LE+PETIT+REPORTER?rid=1131892742
I do not endorse fishpond, as I don't have any first-hand experience with 
them. Resellerratings has a "mixed bag" of reviews:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Fishpond_au
Essentially, when things go right, they are fine. But, when things go 
wrong, they seem to be hard to deal with:

Caveat Emptor!

Cheers,


Igor

Well done. I'm not a leather camera bag person - or at least I wasn't
until one arrived. I can tell you that, I am now!
