Back in March ONA announced their Berlin leather camera bag specially designed for the Leica M system. The limited edition bag sold out in a very short period of time and now ONA announced a new Berlin II model that is almost identical to the original version and is currently available for pre-order at the Leica Store Miami and Camera West.

I don’t like December in Holland. It’s dark, cold and there are way too many days you have to things I don’t like doing. We decided to escape and headed for southern Spain, where it was a lot less cold. Andalucia is a region that is famous for flamenco, olive oil and sherry, but frankly, I just wanted to walk around and see what was happening there. I grabbed my Billingham Hadley small, fitted my Leica M9 with a 35 and 50 Summicron, a very old Tele-Elmarit 90 and a couple of batteries. That kit is small and light, yet very versatile. One of the most made mistakes is bringing too much on a trip where you’ll be walking around all day. After a while, you’ll start to feel the weight of your bag on you shoulder and from that moment, fun is over. Bring just one camera and one or two lenses.
