In your bag No: 605, Alan Cook
Another day another Paul (Actually it is Alan, and I am an idiot). This time Alan comes from the USA and brings us two bags instead of one. What value! Two for one. And one of them has a camera that everyone seems to want at the moment.
Hi there!
I’m a designer living in Portland, OR and here are two of my bags. These are just two typical setups that I use a lot (I hope its ok to have more than one!)

Macbook Air 11″
Macbook Air Charger
Leica M Typ 240 with Silver MS Optical 50mm Sonnetar 1.1, Gordy Strap
EVF in a case
Leica 90mm Summicron
Leica 35mm Summilux ASPH

Bag 2:
Billingham Hadley Digital (Black with Tan Trim)

For those who want to know, I use the Billingham to carry the Leica and two extra lenses all the time as well. It just depends on what I need that day!

Thanks much! Enjoying the series a lot, hope you continue with it!

Thanks for sharing your bags with us Alan. Very simple setups you have there. I think that is the first Leica M we have had on the site too.
Check out the links and make sure you come and comment.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here.
Cheers

Amazing pics!
Bag one is pretty much my dream set up. How do you like the brixton? I was considering investing in the leather version of it. It costs more but it seems to also last more …
Bellamy, my name is Alan! Not sure where you got Paul from…
Adil – The Brixton is good, I do have some complaints though. The strap is made of smooth seatbelt like material that slips too much… the shoulder pad slides around too easily. I would love for there to be flaps over the front pockets, for peace of mind. And I would love a model smaller than the brixton but bigger than the bowery. I actually love the waxed canvas finish.
Ohhhh bugger. Sorry! I sahll change that immediately.
I think this is the first bag with the M240. Congrats. I am sending my congratulations because I know the wait list is long.
Hey Alan. Cool gears you have there. What color is your EPL-5? Is that a brown color i see?
It’s a silver E-PL5 with a beige leather emboss skin from Aki-Asahi.
It also has the Large Olympus Pen Grip (white) – the tan of the grip sort of matches the leatherette and gives a much better handling to the camera.
