[Handheld Only] Very happy with this purchase. I own several Artisan & Artist accessories/bags/straps now, and the ACAM-78 delivers the same quality and thoughtfulness of all their other products.


I think of their products as the perfect blend of aesthetics and function, and this little bag lives up to their name.


The leather feels tough but still soft and flexible, and the navy blue nylon lining is smooth and seems easy to clean. There is a thin layer of padding between the leather and interior fabric, and this layer feels thickest on the front and back of the bag.


I'm able to fit my Leica M and a small or medium sized M lens with room to spare. With a small lens, I feel I could probably tuck another small lens in here too inside of a fitted neoprene lens pouch.


More likely, I'll keep my filter pouch in here.


My only question is how well the elastic band will hold up over the years. It's a snug fit, and requires both hands to close up the bag. So if there's one drawback, it's that it does take a moment to get the bag open and closed. But, the obvious upside is there's no chance of the bag opening during transport. It should work great for taking my camera in and out of a larger bag a couple times a day, but this design would be a drawback in a shoulder strap bag or satchel where you need quick-draw access.


Thanks for another great product, A&A, and to B&H for the very fast shipping.

[Drawstring] I love this pouch. It's simple, lightweight, and provides just enough padding for my Sony RX1RII so I can just carry it in my messenger bag.

[Empty] Exactly what I was looking for

[0.265 lb] Hold my Leica Q with a leather half case, strap and an extra battery with a bit of room to spare. Can just throw this into my backpack and offers nice protection for the camera against scratches and bumps. Nice leather and beautifully made. The elastic strap is firm and seems like it will hold up.

[Drawstring] Stashing your small [and precious] camera inside a larger bag? Aside from offering just the right amount of protection, this pouch is extremely elegant. (Sorry to be so superficial;-) Very, very well made.

[0.265 lb] Anyone wondering about size, the ACAM-77 fits a Leica Typ 240 with 50mm lens very nicely.

It is well made and a touch classier than the neoprene wraps.

[Drawstring] Heavy duty padding on this case.

[Empty] Good fit for Leica M10 with 50mm Summilux attached.

[Drawstring] I drop my camera into these pouches, then into a backpack. These fold down to minimal size, so they take little room when not in use. Other uses are for lenses. The canvas version is in like new condition after 5 years use, the leather should last a lifetime.

[Handheld Only] Well made and great to look at. Protection looks good for a soft bag. The bottom has a large foamed block with a formed hole for lens cap.It is rather large piece. This good for protecting the lens, may limit the lens height you can use.
