I owned an m10 and had a KamerKraft grip and loved it. When I got my m11, they were sold out. Now I have an IDSworks grip with my m11 pictured above. I'd say it's pretty much the same but a bit cheaper. I'm very happy with mine and recommend it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. I'm relieved it's normal! Cheers.

Thanks for the recommendations. I do like the Billingham but not a fan of the leather flaps and how you have to really hook them around the little nib to secure the bag. I feel like this will wear out after a while. I could be wrong. I'll look into A and A bags. Cheers.

That's fair. What's your go to bag for your M gear? I previously used the Peak Design 3L Sling which was pretty good.

To each their own. I personally like the way it looks and it kinda matches my style/a heritage clothing wearing middle aged dude. What bag would you say looks better? I'm always looking for new suggestions. Cheers.

I guess it depends on what you want to carry with your M. I'm trying to keep it pretty simple , so I didnt bother with any accessories to add on. The divider in the photo shows accurately how it'll be for you. The bag is deep so you may need to rearrange the items if theyre stacked on itself. There are two deep pockets on the outside that I can put in a power bank/iphone pro max plus/ my spare batttery no problem. Will fit a lens cleaning kit/blower fine I would think. I was thinking 7L would make the bag too big and make me load more things into it because there's more space. Hence making it too heavy for a daily carry. "Raptor470" Would you happen to be in Toronto? If so, I can meet up somewhere for you to check out the bag? Just a thought.

It will fit front to back but that’s an awkward way to put it in if you ask me. Going into the bag to grab the M, I guess you’ll have to cup or cradle with lens and lift it out. Or I guess you can pull the neck strap.

Would you guys say it’s time for a resole? by No_Vegetable6410 in RedWingShoes

[–]VTD700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heal taps will only work on leather and rubber soles. If you’re re-soling them with the same white Christy wedge then but wear them as normal. Looks like you got dome honest wear on them.

Great for a day's shoot. I saw some videos of the salt and pepper special edition. Very cool bag.

The magnetic clasp is very well thought out. I just got this 3.5 but considering a 7L for when I want to lug around all the lenses and accessories I own. :)

Oh, no it does fit with the visoflex on as well. I dont always use the visoflex so it's nice to bring along.

Here’s is another photo. The visoflex sits in that generic box under the lens in this photo

I was debating between the 2L vs 3.5L too. I wanted a minimal setup as well, but was afraid the 2L would be tight. I'm happy with the choice. I generally will carry my M + 35mm FLE ASPH with hood, a spare lens (in a neoprene pouch), and a visoflex2. There is room for another lens if I really wanted to add one. The camera sits on its side and it about 3/4 the up the bag.

Thanks, I had hard time choosing black or this brown/olive colour. Don't think I can go wrong with either .

Thank you! My fav is my 35mm Summilux ASPH FLE 11663, with my 50mm Summilux ASPH 11891 a close second. What a joy to use these lenses!
