Actually I wanted to for the Nikon 1 camera bag not because the camera itself is already quite large and I always rumtrage in my purse. I thought of other camera bags that completely suddenly could be so thick all double or triple. But unlike this one. You really only covered the camera, with no frills, and now does not need more space than before the camera with my (admittedly ugly) homemade bag. Even better is that you can fix the camera on your pocket and you can then use with pocket! Because what brings me a super quick-release camera, if I have to first unpack forever. The leather is very high, on the one hand hard enough to protect the camera really well and on the other hand nice and soft. A successful real thing.
