Hello guys,

 

So, I travel a lot and make many daytrips around Germany. Therefore I need a new backpack for my Leica SL and equipment.

I want something chic and noble that i can take to a restaurant without being looked at crooked, if you know what i mean.

Do you have any suggestions or ideas for me? :)

I don't care about the price for now. Also something made of leather in black. So that it matches the Leica design.

Thanks a lot for your answers in advance.

Greetings, Benedikt

benedikthoaxel,

I have experience with Billingham shoulder bags and their back packs look equally distinctive and expensive.

They have leather trim with canvas that is light compared with all leather. I think you can describe their design as classic.

You could as easily wear one along side an A. Langs & Sohne wrist watch as a Glashutte. I have an all black

Billingham shoulder bag that is extremely well made, but my favorite bags are Lowepro clam shell designs that are more

functional for long lens nature photography than they would be for your intentions.

I like companies like Billingham that make quality products that are not viewed as disposable and

I don’t think you will ever be dissatisfied that you paid extra for a Billingham product.

Take a look at all leather Oberwerth back packs. Their products are German made to go with your Leica gear.

While Oberwerth is not on my list of must have bags I imagine I could not be dissatisfied if I owned one.

Perhaps then the next step since price is not an object is to have one custom made.

Anyway I am still a card carrying member of the bag-of-the-month club and I wish you great success. Stay frosty.

Thank you very much, that helped a lot! :D

Now I have a problem: I cant decide between DSLR backpack by Billingham and the Oberwerth Matterhorn

Backpack Matterhorn 13"

 

Really hard to decide. I think I have to think about it for some nights before I buy one of them :D On the one hand the billingham is quite cheaper, on the other hand the design of the Oberwerth backpack looks nicer to me....
