LHSA Leo S "Correspondent" bag

Developed in close consultation with LHSA - The International Leica Society, the Leo Correspondent is possibly our most agile, easy to use but still minimalistic and straight-to-the-point camera bag for the dedicated Leica enthusiast for street photography.

The ideal bag for the enthusiast Leica CL, Q, M, or SL photographer out there on the street looking for the perfect shot. Enough space to carry several lenses but not so large so it does not hinder your maneuverability.

The form fitting design guaranteed by the beautifully soft but padded cow hide leather characterizes this bag as well as its larger brother Leo Voyager. 

It gives room for all your gear, protects it from environmental influences while giving you easy hip access to the camera and all the lenses and accessories you wish to take along. You can either go for the quick camera access from the top or open the side and have easy access to all your lenses and gear. 

The Leo Correspondent incorporates many new design features entirely focused on the photographer. By eliminating the front flap “messenger” design common in many bags, access to your camera, lenses, and accessories is fast and easy with one zipper. The zippers have internal fabric to protect your hand and gear as you draw them from the bag. Special features such as a security flap over the camera and leather open-limiters for shoulder use enhance the usability and safety of the design. 

The red internals are configurable and make it easier to find items than a black inside would allow. The bag also incorporates an internal flat pad that sits in place for use with CL, Q, and M cameras and lenses, yet is easily removed to make room for the SL series of cameras and their lenses. On the inside of the top there is a protective sleeve for your iPad Mini or similar size tablet or mobile. Finally, we have built-in a hidden pocket for the Apple AirTag or similar tracker, rather than advertise the presence of the tag on a keychain where it may be easily spotted or removed. This is a bag meant to be “worn” while photographing, resting on your hip.
