Anyone knows if there is any UK retailers or website selling those bags when they are made available?

Only for practical purposes. There is a lot to be said for a nice bag. But I travel a lot. Strapped together the two MM25s only count as the (smaller) 'personal item' for most airlines' carry-on allowances. In the aircraft they 'split' into 2, and fit almost anywhere in the overheads. And they are light. I carry 2 Fuji-x bodies with lenses plus 3 sigma foveon Merrill cameras in this lot. That is way too much, and I am thinking about how to reduce it to only one of the MM25 bags. There is an Ona bag that is the same size as the MM25 bag. I will consider this. Beware, recently in Copenhagen, Air France weighed all my carry-on, but didn't care about the smaller 'personal item'. In Hawaii, the same thing. So I am prepared, and study the allowances on each airline. It would be nice if they all could agree on the same conditions. But I guess that comes with competition. And we certainly all benefit tremendeously from airfare competition. In the US, it seems that all airlines allow for massive overruns on the stated carry-on allowances. And it seems to work fine, and everybody is content. I sense that I am ahead of the game, and that the carry-on weight will become a bigger issue when travlling. atb, Larshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928289087582118755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-70953918373828519462016-10-20T03:54:53.978+08:002016-10-20T03:54:53.978+08:00It's a nice looking bag, looks like a Billingh...It's a nice looking bag, looks like a Billingham to me.

Usability? care to describe further? I do not deny that the Peak Design looks like it can do a lot, but the way I see it, it is more of an ordinary messenger bag, than an actual camera bag.

Their "Everyday messenger bag" has a feature set that make this look prehistoric. Those strap are just annoying, and this is coming from someone who owns a Billingham - I certainly admire the effort put into this by both collaborates, but there's a reason why the Peak Designs bag is lauded by everyone who gets their hands on one. Swing and a miss unfortunately.

NONE of his shots involved fast moving subjects. I love the pics with the f1.2. Is it a lot better than Pan/Leica f1.4. Worth upgrading. Probably $600 out of pocket after selling the f1.4 I own. Would love to see you compare these two plus Oly f1.8. Weight, size, costs and ooze image quality factor. I'm certain low light shots will favor f1.2. When zoom is ready for review my ? Is was Buchan close to right..."like a bag full of primes."<br />Love your blog. Em1 and OMD 10 owner.

Else why would I even wait? Have I ever been late in publishing any reviews? So please do take my word, when the review is ready, it sure will be released here!Robin Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572566037297158455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-3679923203174721692016-10-17T02:17:00.396+08:002016-10-17T02:17:00.396+08:00Very nice, but I love the black canvas Olympus bag...Very nice, but I love the black canvas Olympus bag I think maybe under $50 US and can handle two bodies with lens and a lot of accessory stuff is little zip pockets. I agree if it came with either of the two new lens I'd take it!!! Robin you wrote me about a possible firmware needed for the new IS zoom to work with the EM1 MkI original. But Neil Grant Buchan reviewed using these two new lens in Cuba on an EM1. See review on stevehuffphoto blog. He loves the f1.2 so much he said he was selling a Leica outfit. ONE MAJOR reason, he found he as getting 100% in accurate focus in low light with the f1.2 and not so with the Leica he had with him on the same trip. CONFIDENCE + the f1.2 oozes quality photos was his final observation. Ming carries around a MF Hassy and two lens in the new bag. Yes but I can't afford that gear nor would I be able to carry it around either.
