Running this site costs quite a bit of cash every single month and on top of that, I work full-time 60+ hours a week on it each and every single day of the week (I received 200-300 emails a DAY). Some days this very website has over 200,000 visitors and because of this I need and use superfast web servers to host the site. Hello to all! For the past 5 years I have been running this website and it has grown to beyond my wildest dreams. PLEASE! I NEED YOUR HELP TO KEEP THIS WEBSITE RUNNING, IT IS SO EASY AND FREEE for you to HELP OUT!

A brown one should be coming soon as well, but not sure how long away that is. It is back, but I have no idea for how long. It was out of stock for over a year and most thought it would not return. What people have liked is the soft luxurious feel of the bag and the features such as the purple lining and leather flap that protects the inside. I have had compliments on it already while traveling. This bag is perfect for a Leica system or Mirrorless system from Sony, Olympus or Fuji. A nice shoulder bag.Īt $379 US it is well worth the cost, especially when a Fogg bag will set you back $600+ these days. When on and walking around it looks like a shoulder bag. Some will say it looks purse (or murse) like, but so do 90% of camera bags. Again, for me, it surpasses any bag I have owned or come across in quality, design, usefulness, size, weight, materials, and style. At $379 it is an expensive bag, but one that will last you a lifetime. The price of the Wotancraft quality does not come cheap. The iPad pocket is inside and is nice and protected as well with a pocket and all. There really has not been anything left behind. No cloth to stain, no worry of water getting inside, no worry of your camera getting scratched up while inside. There was even one point when a beer was spilled on the bag (about 1/4 of a beer). It has so far survived rain, water splashes and being set down on concrete several times. I have had this bag all over with me and even took it to New Orleans for the last Olympus media trip I went on.

The protective zipper leather flap protects your goods inside in the event of rain or snow. The leather is durable but soft as you can tell just by looking at the image above. Makes me want a undone in brown, one for my camera and one for my video setup. I even use it for a video rig I carry around sometimes with a digital recorder and other items. They are not a cheap fly by night operation and this bag is my perfect bag, end of story. Wotancraft has a reputation for making super high quality hand crafted bags and leather goods. The leather is soft and pliable not hard and stiff.

It feels good across the shoulder and the inside is well padded and protective as well as being pretty snazzy with the purple microfiber lining. It holds a Leica and 2-3 lenses as well as an iPad mini and accessories. It is stylish, it is durable and it is comfortable. What it boils down to is that this is just about as perfect as a camera bag can get for those who want a nice looking, well made leather bag. Why? Well, there are many reasons and I go over them in the video above. I prefer it to the Fogg bag that I owned (that was more expensive), I prefer it to the ONA bags I have had (and still own) and I prefer it to just about ANY bag, ever. In fact, it is the most beautiful, well made, useful and overall nice bag I have ever come across in my life. But never has a bag come through that spoke to me in the way this Wotancraft Ryker does. I even enjoyed the Camslinger bag and still do from time to time. For example, there have been bags from Tenba, Artisan & Artist, Think Tank, Fogg and Ona that I adored. Occasionally a bag comes along that I really like. Many times they do not even get reviewed (if they stink) and they get thrown to the side and sent back. I have probably had 60 bags through my house in the past 5 years as many get sent to me for review. I have seen them all from Domke to Crumpler to Fogg to Billingham to Artisan and Artist. Some are cheap but functional, some are mid priced and functional and some are high priced and built more for fashion then actual use.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of bags manufactured in the camera world. Others like to have choices and bring a bag with a lens or two just in case they want to change it up while they are out. Many just prefer to take their camera and one lens out on the street with them and roll. Not everyone is a camera bag kind of person. I will add some words after the video below: This is mainly a video review of the beautiful Wotancraft Ryker bag.
