oberworth is an enemy of the working class for pricing it at 650 USD...
If someone has a $15K Leica they can certainly afford a $650 bag for it.
"How often do you go out to shoot on a rainy day?" - in Wales, every day 😭 And yes can confirm it's a bit of a faff having to re-wax leather after it got soaked. I do love a camera bag though - recently picked up a Wotancraft Pilot 10L myself, which is proving to be a bit of a winner so far. It's now at the head of the bag pile for days out 😆
Hi Robert, did you get the leather version of the Wotancraft? How do you manage protecting your bag and photo gear with the rain?
@@NaveenVenkataraman I went with the canvas one myself - with canvas it's pretty easy to reapply wax (Fjallraven sell the wax they use and that works well), though I haven't had to do that yet on the Wotancraft bag as it's holding up really well so far. It's generally quite well designed for rain resistance - I doubt the main flap will soak through easily, although it's not long enough to cover additional pouches if you strap those to the bag (my only complaint about the bag).
If I'm taking a bag out in torrential rain, I usually use an additional rain cover. I also only buy weather-sealed camera gear these days 😅 I actually made a couple of videos a while back about my approach to rainy photography because I don't think it gets talked about much! 😆
@@robert_may Thank you Robert! Very helpful responses and tips.
The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Having worn leather boots, jackets and gloves for many years as a motorcyclist I have some experience with leather and wet weather leather does handle light rain but it does get wet, it can treated for some resistance with beeswax cream, or a protectant but that nice bag I would very picky about which products I would put on it, personally I would treat that bag as a nice day camera bag and use my waterproof camera bags on Rainy days, Im sure it will get a nice patina and character as it is used and ages.
Funny thing is I went vegetarian a few years and due to health issues no longer ride motorcycles, I no longer use animal products like leather or suede, Gortex and DWR are now part of my carry options. My camera backpack has DWR on it but it comes with a very nice rain cover.😀
I too suffer from TMCB (Too many camera bags) 🤣
Cheers.
Gore-tex and DWR coatings is very harmful for the environment. Buying vegetable tanned leather is better, if your vegetarianism is based in ethics.
Love sling bags, especially for bike riding. Stop, sling, photo, sling, ride. Quick and james bond like. Thanks.
That looks so nice inside. Love the red look.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Got to be a CZcamsr afford them... And I thought my Peak Design bag was expensive.... 😂
I used to think Peak Design was overpriced, now I understand that Peak Design is expensive and THIS is overpriced lol Fucking ridiculous ass camera companies. Lowepro 4 lyf
Peak Design is expensive. But worth it. I have 2 bags and 2 straps from them (all different), but worth the price.
I’ve had a lot of bags, more than most most likely. Finding ones that actually work in a variety of circumstances in the way I want them to is very hard. Part of that is personal taste, part of that is just having good design. PD gets there.
I have serious doubts that this company gives anything “more” than PD, other than if you want a bag that is specifically designed to carry a specific Leica (which is literally how a huge chunk of their camera bags are designed). In that case it is a luxury brand to match specific cameras and undoubtedly if you want to carry a specific Leica then there is likely not a better fit anywhere. But it also won’t be useful for general users.
The general bags as you note cost stupid amounts and it’s doubtful that they have better utility than PD. Just perhaps more elite materials.
@@JeremiahBostwick Nah. I'll stick with Lowepro. Their prices aren't insulting, and if something breaks, it doesn't cost a lot to replace.
photography consumerism is primarily fueled by youtubers aimed at people who buy stuff they can't really afford.
It feels like I haven’t seen a video from you in awhile, glad to see you in my feed again
Got something from aliexpress . Just as good.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
If you shorten the strap (pretty easy) a bit it also makes an excellent bum bag. I have a Wandred 6litre as my rainy sling/waist pack and the Oberworth for when it's not. Stupid money but a just lovely bag and a great size. I can even get an X2D and two extra lenses in mine.
all the styles in this fabrication, black calf leather + metal zips are the best.
$650USD for a camera 👜? That’s nuts!
Didn’t you only use Billingham?
Oberwerth! Spelling!!
Thanks Kai for the amazing content over the years
Hi Kai, you bagged a good one. Love the Red colour inside the bag. Thanks 😊
Nice bag but not for travel, at least not for me. I like having a back zippered area for passport, wallet and other important items. I also like bags that have the top that opens away from the body instead of towards the body, makes getting your gear out so much easier. I just purchased a leather ONA Rockaway and it's perfect for my m11p, x100VI, and a few small m-mount lenses, and it's super comfortable. And it's about half the price of the Oberwerth, but I do have an Oberwerth half-case on my M11.
The Cobra buckle is a worthy upgrade, very reassuring. The sling bag originally sold with an ok buckle but it doesn't inspire the same confidence, metal but feels plasticky. Time to see if i can retrofit the Cobra
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Can't wait to get this bag used in two years!
Oberworth sounds like Über Wert in German an that means Over Value 😂
They look expensive , but well made, you get what you pay for... I'm partial to Canvas Bags.....I would rather spend that money on a New Lens...
Or in a journey to take photos.
That has to be the ugliest bag I've seen in a long time.
Lovely bag but I would rather buy a lens or another camera. Like the review humour though. Kr
lol "its quite reasonable to want a leather bag... because some people like leather camera bags". very astute review!
In Sweden only drug dealers use sling bags.
Thats the TUMI bag that I've owned for 3 years. How are they able to copy the same exact design?
Ulanzi sling bag has been amazing for more than a year
You need to fix your affiliate link in the description.
Great video, but too expensive for me 😅 i will stay with my peak design for now 😊
I'm backing one out as I watch your new video! Great work
It's a lovely bag. But in London it's going to be in front of me. and yes it does remind me of a Fannypack.
i saw sling bag and i had to watch
Great bag, I like your Leica camera strap, where can I get it please?
Holds less than the smaller PD 6L and equivalent wndrd
Completely off-topic, but just realised I bought a tactical-style belt that has a knock-off version of those quick-release buckles...got to stop buying from those Chinese shopping sites
”This buckle is made by this company that makes clumbing equipment….” ITS A FUCKING CAMERA BAG WHY THE HELL AM I PAYING FOR CLIMBING EQUIPMENT
It looks cool, but literally costs more than my camera...
Even Billingham make bags without the dead animals. Your link didn't work and I couldn't find this sling bag on the Oberwerth site but wow, the price is painful.
that slot for memory cards looks sketchy as fuck. would never trust a card in that. asking for it to fly out when grabbing something else and not noticing
This bag has a Gucci like price.
“Oberwerth”. If this is sponsored Kai, probably need to change the title so they can get traffic.
We’re the only ones nerdy enough to make a dedicated video on this specific bag….😅😅😅
Perfect match for the Leica I don't own with the money I don't have 😅
Honestly…it looks distinctly UNcool.
😍
If you can't afford to fill it with Leicas , you can't afford it!
No, just no... The reason why Leather camera bags disappeared, was because stored gear in leather bags starves the gear of air. Leather is inherently damp and remain so, for the functionality its purporting to serve; Fungus in optics, chemical breakdown of rubber seals, gaskets, camera body grip materials, advanced lubricant retardation, need I go on?
Its a nice concept, but there are other companies that make comfortable sling bags that are made with task appropriate materials. Then there's the daft choice of using soft pile interior, a major dust magnet, and bugs love it too if you live in the tropics.
It's cool-ish, I kinda like the look of it, but not gonna buy it. You should though, just don't use it.
i really like the clip, what i don't like, is the exorbitant price. oh well it makes sense as it targets leica users
No handle, man. No handle.
Sexy jacket kai 🔥👌
Too expensive, why not do affordable Amazon bags?
To this day, no bag I've seen is better than the Mountainsmith Tour FX. That bag was affordable, well made (granted not as well made as this one) and is hands down the most functional and comfortable way to carry around camera gear. It's a sling bag, it's a waist bag, it's secure, it doesn't flop around, and it distributes weight evenly between your shoulders and waist. It's a shame no other company has tried to replicate their design.
I farted into oberworth
consumerism.
Doesn’t look small
900 euros. Fuck sake.
😂😂😂
First
Oberworth is insanely overpriced.
