M Classics Compact Bag

[seajak]

I just stumbled on this review of a smaller bag from M Classics. Has anyone seen one of these before? There is nothing about it on their website. Looks like a great bag for someone like me who only carries a camera and an extra lens but needs somewhere to put glasses, keys, phone etc, an upmarket replacement for my original BBB perhaps 😀.

cheers,

looks like a really nice bag. Never seen one but the looks of it, I'd say it is a sturdy and handsome bag. Go for it. and let us know how you like it.

The larger Leitz bags that M Classics revived for their current model line had a little brother that this bag seems to have been modeled on.

I've only seen the small old model in burgundy canvas. Nice bag, but more purse-like than its big brother.

Very Billingham like design. Personally I think a Billingham is a better choice. I have a Hadley original but would love them to bring out a smaller, slimmer bag. I had the Hadley small but it was too boxy and because the padding is the same thickness as the larger bags simply restricted the amount of gear it would hold. Something along the lines of the Domke F803 but from Billingham would be good.
I'm tending to use a BBB-e when I need a smaller bag.

Hi Kuvvy,

I use a billingham digital for my mp, which you might like to look at. It holds the camera plus two lenses and a couple filters/film etc. i mention it because it is relatively thin because the liner is sewn in, unilke the larger hadleys.
Hope that helps,


Mark

I checked with M Classics and Seth Levine informed me that they are moving their facility and not producing any bags of any size at the moment. No prodcution dates are set and will have to check back.

Hopefully they will get their website updated as well.:angel:
