In your bag No: 621, Alistair Noble
A delightful monochrome bag for you all today. Alistair shares with us a simple and to the point digital Leica bag and a clutch of MS Optical lenses too. check it out.

I’m usually a bit shy about my camera gear, sneaking around with it half under my arm, but as I was packing my bag to go for a walk this afternoon I thought it made a nice snapshot.
My name is Alistair, and I’m a musician, academic, and enthusiastic photographer. Currently living in Canberra, but maybe not for much longer…
A lot of the time I carry only one lens, but if I think I might want a bit of variety I often take these three because of their light weight. I quite like the 28/50/75 lens combination. As a glasses wearer, 28 is pushing at the boundary of what I can frame without an external finder. 75 is like a nice ‘long standard’ – I find it a comfortable focal length.
The bag is artisan and artist.
M9-P, I’ve had it for about 6 months now and loving it. I have a few ‘serious’ camera straps, but find that this cheap Chinese-made one works best. Lovely soft leather, and it fits my hand just right. I was a bit worried that the packaging said it was ‘fashionable and surprising’ – but so far, no surprises!
On the camera is the lovely MS Optical Sonnetar 50/1.1 – I love fast lenses and this is so small and light and does interesting things :-)
MS Optical Super Triplet 28/4 – another unique and interesting lens. despite being slow, it always surprises me with lovely rendering.
Voigtlander 75/2.5 – so small and light, feels great on the camera.
Luigi half-case
automatic Seiko 5 watch
note-book, pen, pencil, post-it notes.
Gloves – because it’s winter here in Australia, and it’s been snowing nearby this week.
