p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Leica M System with Backpack?


Hi Everyone,

I am a Leica shooter with a M240 and a M7. My kit is small. Two small 35mm lenses on cameras, one flash, two batteries, few rolls of film, charger, advil, phone, wallet etc.

I have been using a Billingham shoulder bag and am finding my shoulder getting tired as I am heading out for 8-10 hour days of doing street photography. I am thinking of switching to a backpack so it makes the day easier.

Does anyone use a backpack system for their leica kit? If so, what model are you using and like? Does carrying around an M camera incase the risk of knocking the cam out of RF calibration? So far I have never had a problem with doing that using a shoulder bag.

Anyways, thanks so much! Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Tobin

Tobin,

Or you can get a shoulder bag with a hip belt. I carry a much heavier load than you on the Everyday Messenger Bag. Did a full day of shooting with no shoulder fatigue.

Mindshift just put out a few new bags as part of their Ultra light series, the smallest being a 16L, going up to 25 and 36 I believe. Has quick side access and room for stuff up top. Differs from their main type of bag which has the belt rotation system. Not associated with Mindshift in any way, just have a few of their bags and am part of their mailing list.
