Ricoh GB-1 photo bag

I was lucky enough to win a prize in 8th Ricoh Photo contest and two days ago the prize finally arrived! ;) It's nothing more or less than a Ricoh GB-1 leather photo bag in brown color. Due it's limited availability (only 200 pieces were made) it's rare to find it anywhere for sale. Tom can tell you how hard is to find second bag as a complement/backup for existing one ;)

It's very well made bag from fine soft (but sturdy) leather. The inside part of the bag is padded to protect the cameras or lenses stored inside. The padding can be removed or rearranged to get more/less or differently sized "cells". There is also a small removable belt pouch located on one side of the bag. The pouch is big enough to store GRD or GX without viewfinder (it's possible to store GRD+CV 28/35 minifinder inside the pouch, but it's so so).

I really like this bag. The only small downside (for me) is its color. I would prefer more yellow/tan color. But this light brown is fine too. I'm curious how (and if) the color of leather will change during the years of use. We will see ;)








Due to photographers demand, Ricoh now offers black version of this bag with one additional small belt pouch.

I'm lousy in production photo and don't have access to good lightning, so if you are interested, check more detailed and better photos (including description in googlish) here:

And here you can see the black version of this bag:

Even though I am quite late, congratulations on your win Pavel. Please post a link to your winning image if you can? Also do you have a link to Ricoh's competition site so we can peruse other images?
Its quite a nice form factor in the bag, slim but a useful size. Reminds me of another makers bag which i cant quite say yet.
 
Hi Pavel,

I want to know if This bag exist in yellow/tan Colour (because I not understand your words)
If yes shoe my a link to compare ? Thank you

I know just the black and brown version ! I think that all ?

Thanks
Taka

Ps : Happy 3000 Post
 
Pavel do you think, I put a DSLR +1 lenses (on the camera) + 1 lenses (little 50mm)+ 2 Ricoh Camera with Charger, in the Bag ???

Configuration for travel
 
Heh I would miss I just turned 3000 posts! Thanks for reminding me this ;) Let's start another 1000!

There are of course only two colors of GB1. Black and brown. It's just that I personally miss somewhat lighter shade of brown ;)

As for your second question, I'm not sure you can carry all that in GB1. But it all depends on size of your DSLR and lenses. I think you can easily carry one small DSLR with small lens + two Ricohs and batteries. Maybe also with charger. But again, it depends on size of your DSLR. DSRL with two lenses will probably left only very little room for another camera with accessory.
 
oK thank's Pavel,

maybe I put little less stuff, Ok thanks for your answer,
