Fanny Pack

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

I need suggestions for the smallest, padded, fanny pack to hold an M6 w/a 35 'lux and hood, with perhaps an extra roll of film or two. A good minimulist fanny pack. Suggestions appreciated! Bob Stevens

Perfect! (and cheap)

I've been meaning to check out one of the Eagle Creek packs, like this one. It doesn't look as much like a fanny pack, but can be used as one, or a shoulder bag. (A recent NYT article counted fanny packs along with tennis shoes, t-shirts, etc., that shout "American tourist" outside the US...).

I use a LowePro Nova Micro which is big enough for an M6 35 'Cron w/o hood and a 90 Elmarit. The 90 only fits in the front unpadded pocket, so it's far from ideal. I added a waist strap.

I use the LowePro Photo run.

It holds my Leica stuff and I used it in Italy carring 2 Hasselblad lenses and a spare A12 back.

I second the Lowepro Camera Pocket. Perfect for rangefinder cameras. You can easily fit the M6, 35 'lux and hood, plus another lens or two, film and even a few small accessories...all in an extremely compact bag.

If you have a long shirt or jacket on, you can't even see the thing.

The Camera Pocket looks perfect to fit the bill! Thanx for the input and the LowePro site.
