Waterproof bag for 2 Leica M's

[ekbladfred@gmail.com]

Hi!

I'm trying to find a bag that is waterproof and can hold two Leica M6 cameras with a Summilux 35 ASPH FLE and a 50 Summicron mounted.

I also want it to be able to couple with a chest holster like this: Link

The holster I can actually build myself if for some reason the Digital Holster Harness would not fit.

Something like this but meet up to my specs would be great: Click here

But it could also be a bag that comes with some sort of water protection cover.

Any ideas?

I'm confused what you're looking for... based on your requirements why not use the ThinkTank Digital Holster you linked? Is it the wrong size or something? The ThinkTank Digital Holster bags include a rain cover in an outside pocket that you can use to cover the holster, and the material is water-resistant coated nylon as well.

Ortlieb Aqua Cam - can hold two M's in padded insert.

Thank you for your replies!

Well I want it to be waterproof and not just water resistant. I'm spending a month walking in the amazon so when crossing rivers it would be nice to have something waterproof.
The Digital Holster 2.0 series looks like they are shaped for DSLR cameras even though two rangefinders would fit inside.

That Aqua-cam bag looks good! In the description it says "against dust and spraywater" but in the manual HERE it says waterproof so I guess it is the same as Aqua-Zoom. The weight is good as well.
If its possible to put a separator between the cameras that is great.

Ortlieb sells THIS harness as well that looks nice so Ortlieb definitely looks lika a good option

I don't think the waterproof classification normally includes submersion - for that you probably want to use a thick vinyl dry bag or a hard case like a pelican.

Remember,

waterproof bags will keep moisture inside to, so in very humid conditions keep heaps of desiccant/silicagell in the bag to avoid mildew.

Yeah I think you are right. I think I have seen a dry bag/camera bag design somewhere?

Thanks for the reminder! Yeah desiccant is a must in the rain forest. It's easy to make it yourself so I usually do that to fit the bag or whatever in a nice way.

Is the closet to meet my specifications that I have found.

Well, Ortlieb has a longstanding good reputation for the durability of their bags. I think they made their name with durable, waterproof trekkingbags for bicycles.

Lycka till med jakten efter den perfekta väskan, mr Ekblad 🙂

Aquapac make a Stormproof SLR Camera Pouch which might fill the bill.

Wow, Watershed bags seem to be the bees knees.

I am starting to save for one of those tapered flotation bags and one of the smaller bags.

I just finished the Bass Strait crossing and roll top Bags aren't safe enough for critical gear (in my case things like a down sleeping bag)
