Last Sunday's Sydney Camera market. I go for the camera porn and to see friends that I don't see anywhere else. Made it out alive without buying anything. I have cameras which I have purchased but have never used.
As I was leaving I notice these guys standing outside all carrying Leica cameras and all carrying the same beige bags. They told me all Leica users have to carry this beige bag. If you see these bags, it's likely there's a Leica camera inside. Bag not made by Leica. Must be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Nice one Garry! Oh my goodness, matching beige bags. . . . Ridic.
ReplyDeletei think those bags are Billingham bags quiet pricey.
ReplyDeletei used to carry my camera wrapped up in a cloth and in an inconspicuous bag until it got dropped because someone didn't realize there was a camera inside!
These are Billingham bags. I use to carry my camera in a LowePro bag. Then I got mugged because the bag obviously indicated I had a camera inside. Now I just use a cheap shoulder bag and not let anyone carry it.
ReplyDeleteYour last paragraph is hilarious. I put my cameras in cheap back pack not because I want to hide I have cameras but I can't afford professional back pack. Downside is every camera I take with me needs to have a case or else it gets scratched. :(
ReplyDeleteI bought one like these... No, one that looks like these, a copycat, cheaply in Malaysia over ten years ago and it has been with me ever since, worn out etc. It's fairly inconspicous, good padding all around, easily accessable... I'd very happy to get a new one
ReplyDeleteThose are Billingham and they are really pricey!!
