The bag consists of two parts. A pedestal on which the camera is fixed on the Stativgewind. And a hood is slipped from above over the camera and lens and closed at the bottom with a push button. This shell is recommended for transport to the building. Will there be taken, however represents now the question: Where to put it? In your pocket, it does not fit into the rule. The pedestal would Leica "protector" hot and corresponding products are available there for years. The design is suitable to intercept light shocks and to protect especially the metal surface from scratches and the related impairment. Who knows? Maybe the camera is to be eventually sold again. However, a mounted pedestal allows no access to the flap for battery and memory card. Only a cutout for the speaker is to be found. The "protector" must first be removed again for the change of battery or memory card, but what about the non-slip knurled screw at the bottom, however, easily passed from hand. However, the camera should not be deposits on sensitive surfaces to avoid scratches on the surface. For a tripod but can still be used, because the screw has its own tripod thread. Note: The package does not shoulder strap is included. Again a deeper grip in the wallet is due for a matching leather belt. Therefore, and because of the comfort I have alternatively opted for the OP / Tech Strap System Super Classic Strap Pro Loop, because he does it in the long run but noticeable weight of the camera more portable. Much can be discussed about the price / performance ratio. An alternative but I have not yet found. A bespoke bag just provides the appropriate protection for such expensive camera and has a similar purpose as an insurance policy. Finally remains to consider what such a carefully made wallets can cost from leather. Exterior smooth leather, velor interior, between a gel padding - the production effort is not to be underestimated.
