Just saw a camera bag in the evil-bay (item number 270258540378) no connection to seller), it seems nice, have anyone bought it? is it worth the money?

The ebay page has a link to click for more photos, and there are photos of the inside available through that link. It looks nice inside, has movable dividers and padded sides. My feeling is that it is made in China so the $78 price is WAAAAAAY too high. You can buy an American made one for not much more.
 
I've bought it... as soon as I receive it I'll post a description... I'm not very confident on the quality but today I've got good news and this is a celebration present for me.
 
I started using this bag today for my light Contax G2 kit (G2 with 28mm, 45mm in its own space, and the TLA 200; several rolls of film in the zippered net under the flap, a small notebook and pen in the back pocket). There was room to spare for maybe the 90mm lens and another TLA 200 plus cables. This left two front pockets. I found the bag quite light and comfortable to wear; the design is simple and rather utilitarian but not without elegance. The inserts are smartly cut and appear capable of adequately protecting the gear. The fake leather looks pretty good – so far I am liking this bag, might get me one more soon.

Btw, I removed one of the smaller dividers to fit the G2 with a lens mounted.
 
Thanks for the shots Andy - looks like a first class clone of the A&A bag. Incidentally most of the A&A bags use vinyl in at least part of the construction, very rare to see a 100% leather bag.

How does the strap feel?

O.C.
 
I've been at the beach somedays, just gone when the bag arrived and still haven't used it. At a first glance it looks very nice, well done and also the interior, the only "con" I see is that the inserts should be a little more rigid but for the price it's OK. I've tried it with a Leica M6 with a 35mm, the Nokton 50mm and the CV 75mm, plenty of room for extra equipment, as you can see in the AKPTC (Andy) pics there are two zippered "containers" one inside and one outside, another "con" are the metal appliances, they don't seem to be of good quality, but again, for the price you can't ask for gold.
