I got what is to me, the best bag period, one I've wanted for a while. A tan Filson 232 (Medium Field Bag). One of the best things about it is that the Tenba Pro Digital 2 insert ($19 @ B+H), well basically it's like it was made just for this bag, it fits like a glove no exaggeration, and comes with 4 dividers so you can set it up any way you can imagine, along with the two front pockets and back pocket, there's tons of storage, in a nice sized package. I put my Domke mailman pad on it too. Of course the main draws are the fact the waxed rugged twill, that's basically bomb proof and will age amazingly, looks better the more it get's beat up, just like a Leica. My M6 is with Sherry, but my M3 fits perfect with the 50 1.5 Nokton on it, (nice and warm in there in the snow!), along with 10 rolls, a Weston Master V and Leicameter all in one slot with some room to spare, and theres an empty slot where my M6 would go. It's my first day out with it, just in time for the biggest snow storm we've has since i was a kid!! I'm home for the Holidays in Virginia Beach, and we already have at least 6-8in, for us who live on the beach that's huge, and supposed to get 12+! Had the Filson out shooting all morning in whiteout snow, with that and a Barbour on (it's great just worrying about shooting and keeping my front element clear of snow every 20 seconds haha), myself, the bag and it's contents are perfect, it passed that test like it was nothing!
Sorry for the ramble, even though I'm 27 I just feel like a kid who got the coolest new toy 🙂 For a bag freak, it's a big deal haha, I can get rid of all the others now.
Also got some Tri-X, some Orvis wool gloves, along with some bourbon and rum. Suffice it to say, everything I got will be used heavily today!🙂
