I saw this bag somewhere on another forum and it caught my attention. I looked for it. I found it at B&H Photo, but they were waiting for stock and it was on the too pricey side. A search on Ebay located Ringfoto in Germany who seem to carry the whole A&A line ... Their price, including shipping, saved about $60 or so off the B&H price. I ordered one; it arrived very quickly (about six days IIRC).

It's a small bag, the insert is the same as in the ACAM-1100. Fits the Leica M-D, Summilux 35 v2, Summarit-M 75, and WATE (with accessory viewfinder) along with a spare battery and card. There's an internal pocket that fits my iPad mini, and there's space for the SD card reader dongle. The insert comes out easily and it then becomes an efficient little "man purse" carryall for the miscellanea of daily life.
The sling strap has attachment rings on both sides of the bag so its adaptable to being worn bandolier style over either right or left shoulder. (A&A makes a larger version as well, but it only has the attachment for left-shoulder wearing, which is wrong for me.) The design of the sling attachment and bag zipper gives very good, quick access when shooting. The strap has A&A's nice sling adjustment mechanism that makes it easy to adjust how it sits on your body for walking or shooting. Materials and quality are top notch. It wears very comfortably.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it breaks in over the next decade or so.
