Annie Barton Bags

[kanzlr]

hi,

I discovered these through some web searches but have failed to find any reviews or threads bout them yet:

they look drop dead gorgeous, but for USD 200,-- I'd love to hear some comments about them
I ordered their small camera strap for Leica, as the size/weight should be pretty much the same and at least on the web photographs it looks beeeautiful.

Currently I use the Olympus PEN Retro Bag, and my girlfriend told me I have to use it till it dissolves (that could take a while, it is very well made), but I have to be prepared for that very day *g*

Thank you! I've just ordered a strap too

I am really looking forward to it.
First, it should blend in better with my reenactment gear when I use it at an event (while it is pretty absurd to use a camera at all there, someone has to document them )
Secondly it should be much nicer to wear than the OEM strap
Thirdly it looks good
and finally, if the quality of the strap is good, then I accept it as an indication for the bags.

I am really looking forward to it.

Me too. It looks like one of those beautiful things that is just a joy to use. I'm not sure yet whether it is going on my GR1s, DP1 or soon-to-arrive GX200.
