How Much Would YOU Spend On A Camera Bag?

[Roger Hicks]

The problem with the bags, is the same as with Leicas. Once you try something of this class you don't want to settle for less. This is why I like Fogg bags. They break in the way Leicas brass away - becoming nicer to wear. My latest favourite is Encore: holds easily an Ipad and a couple of M7's. I don't remember the price, but it was Leica style.

That's about it. A Billingham is a ridiculous extravagance -- until you use one. One of ours fell off the carrier of the Bullet 350 motorcycle in India over 20 years ago and was dragged 20-30 yards by its strap. We're still using it...

Then again, I've been using Billinghams so long I've never felt the need of Foggs.

Cheers,

The most I've ever spent on a camera bag is what my Fogg B-Major cost a few years ago. Don't quite remember what I paid as I prefer to quickly forget just in case my wife asks.

Not much but I'm prepared to spend whatever to get the camera I want.

My total (3) bag collection is worth about two hundred dollars ... bags don't take photographs, cameras and photographers do!

Don't really like the billingham look. But I have a ONA Bowery, which is my most expensive dedicated camera bag.

Backpacks, however, are a different deal - I have an extremely nice, leather limited edition backpack from my school's commencement event. Only a few are made every year and sold to people who are graduating. Close to $300, but it's the nicest backpack I've ever see.

+1. Except when I wanted to go smaller, got a hadley small for $100 AUD couldn't pass that up

Around $370 each for a Wotancraft Ryker and an Ona Berlin I.

I have to say I am tempted by the Fast+Prime Agent 82, but at $1,350, it far exceeds the realm of an impulse purchase...

The new Leica bags announced at Photokina include a case by Schedoni for the modest sum of $4,500. Who would slum it with Louis Vuitton under these conditions?
