Fogg b-laika

I realise this may be in the wrong section, but the bag is aimed at Leica users...:angel:
Moderators please feel free to place it where you see fit!

I'm thinking seriously about getting one of these, but live on the wrong side of the world to see one in the flesh (read: New Zealand).

Can any of you kind people who own one take some pics to give me some idea of the volume of the interior of the bag when in use and also the pocket(s) on the front. Their website gives me some idea, but would appreciate a few clear interior shots. Also, how do you find it in use? It seems very well constructed from what I read, but user opinions would be appreciated

Thanks

Ian

This is just my opinion, but I've had the Fogg bags in hand and I didn't think they are as well made as the Billinghams, let alone better to justify their much higher cost. I daresay an Alice (I think it's an A2 nowadays), or the variant that Leica sells under their own brand are as good as it gets in terms of workmanship and panache.

Food for thought Ben Z, certainly... I will give the Billinghams a second look. Thanks!

But if anyone has a few pics to share I would still be interested.

Thanks

Here's a picture of the Fogg Forte next to a Billingham. Sorry I don't have the b-laika or any interior shots right now. But having both, I would say the craftsmanship of the Fogg is better.

And thank you too!

Anyone else? There must be one owner with a spare 5 minutes and a digital camera!!
