I currently have a 6 million crumple bag but now that I have a new Leica I feel that I need a new bag so please can any of you that have the items below tell me what camera bag you use;
· Leica M9-P
· 21mm f3.4
· 35mm f2
· 50mm f1.4
· Nikon D3s
· 70/200mm f2.8
· Lee Filters for all of the above

I am looking for something to carry with me while out shooting street (bum bag or light sholder bag) and one for taking everything in the car and when out shooting landscape...........maybe the 6 million bag can get it all in, working on an Oil rig right now so cant check

I dont want something that says "LOTS OF MONEY INSIDE SNATCH ME" written all over it;););)
Thanks in advance
 
For the Leica gear, I would get a Domke F803. I have the ruggedwear one. It fits my Fuji X100 and X10 as well as a small camera case holding batteries, and that still leaves two bellows pockets at the front for sunglasses in a case, lens pens, GPS, Mars Bar, and a magazine in the back.
Your Leica with a lens attached and the other 2 lenses would fit in nicely. Its easy to get in ( once you have mastered the catch or replaced it with something more finger friendly), and soft enough to feel comfortable wearing it. Its not too showy either. I use the supplied insert, but you can get more inserts to protect your gear better.

For the Nikon stuff, anything will do, its not a Leica! :naughty:

I carry my Leica + 35mm, 50mm,70mm and 135mm lenses in a Tenba shoulder bag I picked up cheap - I was so impressed I bought another for my Canon FD gear.
They are not as good as LowePro but protect the gear well and don't scream Photographer!
 
Like many have said you cant have a bag for all and even if you did it would weigh a ton.

I use 2 bags TankTank Sling-o-Matic 30 for out and about urban places and a Lowepro Pro Trekker 300AW for treking and landscaping, Both can hold quite alot of gear.
 
For Leica, you should be looking at Billingham (I think they still do some Leica-specific bags), Domke (in Rugged Wear finish, obviously :D), or Fogg may be reassuringly expesnive enough.

Have a look at www.robertwhite.co.uk
 
I had a bag made by courierware in the states. They have different sizes of bag, different configurations and different camera inserts. They specially tailored mine to my needs. Mine is used as a day to day work bag and also when I am carrying a light kit around. Its not cheap when compared to other bags but with your list of kit the couple of hundred it cost me won't even make a dent for you! ;)
 
I got this one

Very nice. But it's a fashion bag.
