Fogg Satchels Sale

Quite simply, the finest camera bags available. FOGG is the perfect complement to the Leica. Nigel Fogg and bee berman design - and continually refine - the world’s most opulent and fully functional photographic bags. Carrying a FOGG camera bag is a little like playing a handmade guitar or driving a fine car - or like the click of a Leica shutter - the feel is singular and solid, functional and opulent.

Flute

WAS $375
NOW $300

The Flute is the perfect accessory for your M camera and small lens. With room for most f2 Leica M lenses, the Flute is the best light-and-fast camera bag on the market. And it makes a great gift.

Soprano

WAS $400
NOW $350

The Soprano fits an M camera with almost any lens, plus flash or additional smaller M lens with its “trap-door” divider system. And like all FOGG satchels, the Soprano boasts a removable strap runs under the bag for stability, linen lining that conceals thick foam padding, and leather detailing to reinforce high-stress areas.

Lyre

WAS $425
NOW $350

The muse is upon us! The Lyre is slightly larger than the Soprano, and offers all the brilliant features of FOGG bags – the removable strap that runs under the bag for stability, the linen lining that conceals thick foam padding and rich leather detailing that reinforces high-stress areas. Plus, there’s a pleated pouch under the main flap and a flat rear pocket.

B-Laïka

WAS $575
NOW $475

The B-Laïka is tailor-made for the Leica M rangefinder along with two or three favorite lenses. And there’s room for your accessories, too.

Compact and heavily padded, the B-Laïka comes with three protective dividers. This satchel will hold an M body with 50 Summicron. What about the wonderful wide 28 and the profound portrait 75mm M lenses? They fit, too. The B-Laïka front and rear pockets leave room for documents and a guidebook.

SCREW-MOUNT CAMERAS & LENSES

Here is where it all began. From 1925 until 1960, Leica made myriad camera models, lenses and accessories for the world’s first 35mm camera system.

LEICA R SYSTEM

The pinnacle of analog single lens reflex cameras: the Leica R System. Made from 1965-2009, the system is made up of more than a dozen different cameras and some 50 lenses.
