Wotancraft Ryker - The Best Street Photography Bag for a Leica?

[@Film_Fog]

I think you might be one of the best dressed photography KZbinrs.

His glasses!

Hello Max how are you? It's good to see that's Quality Companies are recognizing your Channel and collaborating with you. I also think it's very important what you did by being honest about the things you did not like about the bag because that really solidifies your integrity and viewers will know that you cannot be bought bribed or become a sell-out. Word up

I remember Steve Huff talking about these about 8 years ago when they were unknown. Seems they have grown drastically since then.

[@GAUROCH2]

...Could not agree more... I discover it about 3 years ago and it seemed so appropriate...that I ordered 2...and never regret (well, my interior is the old color -purple- and red is nicer...). I have my Monochrom in one and a Lumix with "Leica" lenses in the other. Those are, by far, my favourite camera bag!!!

[@beapa121]

i'm a digital photographer, but i love your approach to photography and how you show the process of creating an image. great chanel, i just doscover it today :)

[@derekmcclure6574]

My favourite bag! I've had mine for 3 years using it regularly and it still looks like new! The internal material of mine is a deep purple which looks fantastic!

[@jamesbrickert1301]

Looks like a really cool camera bag. Might be a bit too fancy for my Minolta CLE kit. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@TheMPhotography]

What I am a bit concerned with are the magnets in the front. Did you experience any problems yet with credit cards or electronic devices yet? Years back I had a bag with magnets as well and it destroyed two of my credit cards before I realized what happened. Since then I switched to Ona and Billingham.

[@mdfkrick]

I've owned the previous version of the Ryker and have used it almost every day for the past few years. I store my wallet with credit cards and phone inside the front pocket and never seemed to have had any issues with them.

[@TheMPhotography]

@@mdfkrick Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear.

[@mikedesimone1783]

Hi Max, Another nice review' will have to find some more extra pennies for this one . Cheers.

[@raksh9]

I had an original Ryker with that beautiful purple lining in my hands back in 2013. I regret not buying it.

[@PumaM90]

Are those discontinued??

[@GBO76]

Kept mine 5 years. It was even nicer when I sold it, than when new. They're 100% right : they are aging perfectly. I've also had the Avenger and the Commander. Now, I've got the Scout and the Sniper.. Amazing quality, amazing materials. Prices are...well, as said, quality has a cost. If you do compare leather quality of a Wotancraft to an Ona bag, you'll see immediatly why Wotancraft's prices are so high. This is nearly Haute Couture (and I'm a Parisian), at a fraction of a price. Non leather items are probably a bit expensive, but again, they are made to last a lifetime.

My Jan sport fanny pack with the rainbow strap works perfectly fine. 🤗 Nice video tho

[@CrueLoaf]

Anyone tried fitting a Leica into a fanny?

[@jokesNgiggles]

@@CrueLoaf depends on the fanny pack. There are a lot of different sizes.

[@JoeLopez]

So Leica only? 😉

[@richardsimms251]

An honest appraisal RS. Canada

[@georgestoichev]

In their website I found differently looking bags, no model like this entirely made by leather

[@38201270298]

What is the right brand name for "obovet" bag with premium leather that you're mentioned?

[@DiegoRamos-gy6ph]

it´s Oberwert. And they are even more expensive.

[@38201270298]

@@DiegoRamos-gy6ph Thanks!

[@bwest6275]

That completely advertises “I’m expensive and most likely have equally expensive stuff inside”. Unless if the point of this bag is to do exactly that.

[@raksh9]

It depends on where you're taking it. As a general camera bag, probably not a good idea. But if you're in a situation which warrants dressing up, and you want to carry your gear with you, a bag like this is ideal. It's much less recognizable than a well known fashion brand like LV or Gucci.

[@phototristan]

Billingham is best

[@babarfyi]

It looks very nice, but I fail to see how it can be ”best” in any other sense than looking stylish. My shoulders are bad after years with heavy camera bags and I wouldn’t buy this one even if it was cheap.

[@oliverlison]

For one camera and lens it would be ok but not for any more gear I guess. I mostly use my trolley if I need more gear.

[@DerStiglitz]

Is it difficult to speak normally and not as in the voice of a cheap melodrama?
