Leica SL
Camera bags
Oberwerth camera bags are handmade from the finest leather and the finest fittings and fasteners. We have selected the bags with the "perfect fit" for your Leica SL from a wide range of product lines. Each with fantastic, individual features. A unique experience for all the senses!
water-repellent
Hydro bags
In the past, leather was traditionally protected from water by greasing and chemically impregnated before use. Our hydrophobized leather, on the other hand, undergoes an advanced tanning process that naturally ensures long-lasting water resistance.
This technology, once reserved for rugged boots, has now been refined using state-of-the-art processes to create an elegant, lightweight and high-quality leather. Thanks to its hydrophobicity, it dries quickly and ensures efficient heat regulation.
Although there may be slight discoloration on clothing when exposed to high heat or humidity, this will disappear over time and is usually easy to remove in the washing machine.
The Leica SL III Medium bag - just right!
The bag with the perfect "fit" for your Leica SL, Leica SL2 or Leica SL3. It fits like a second skin, ideally matched for an SL with the Leica Vario Elmarit 24-90mm. The ideal Leica SL bag for your "small" SL equipment.
Unsurpassed quality of workmanship by using our unique vegetable tanned leather, prepared in a special process against water-repellent.
The handmade bags of the Hydro Line are made of hydrophobic leather, i.e. leather which has been given water-repellent properties by us through a special process. Thus, rain rolls off the bag with a beautiful lotus effect. The leather is velvety soft with an incredible grippy feel. Over the years, the hydrophobic leather gets its own patina and becomes your very personal companion. Since the leather continues to retain its natural breathability and structure despite hydrophobing, it may lead to slight color release under certain circumstances if the bag is exposed to high humidity, for example. This is in no way to be understood as a defect but distinguishes the hydrophobized leather as high quality and natural. The leather stands for the best protection, durability and a fascination that can only be experienced in your own hands. Highest quality with lifetime warranty!
In addition to the camera, which measures 146 x 107 x 42mm (WxHxD), there is enough room for the "smaller SL lens", the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm 1:2.8-4 ASPH, the Leica charger, lens hood, cable and your smartphone. An M lens with adapter also finds its place.
Optionally, there is also a handle for the SL Medium here.
The male model is 1.87 m tall. The following additional pads fit this item: ADDITIONAL PADS 9X12 + CUBOID RED

GEORGE - Casual and relaxed on every day
Exploring the city with your DSLR or Leica SL and only taking your favourite lens with you? Having the heavy camera safely stowed away but still always ready to hand? Not a problem with our GEORGE!
Completely made of velvety soft German cowhide, GEORGE is not only casual and cool in design but also well-thought-out down to the last detail. Thanks to the vertical format, the heavy camera can be placed upright in the pocket and is thus always ready to hand for the next snapshot. The soft leather shoulder pad and the low center of gravity ensure a secure and comfortable grip on the shoulder. The shoulder strap made of close-meshed sewn cotton is cut-proof and adjustable in length. The soft, tumbled leather adapts ergonomically to the shape of the body and ensures maximum comfort – even when packed.
Under the leather flap, hidden from unwanted access, there is a front pocket for batteries, memory cards or simply passport and smartphone. The two-step, adjustable LOXX® fastening system protects your valuable interior and allows you to adjust the bag's volume.
The sides of the bag are padded and protect the camera and lens from shocks and other impacts. GEORGE is supplied with an additional inner pad, which can be placed individually via Velcro. This means that the interior layout can be freely arranged according to the personal camera equipment.
Lightweight, compact and velvety soft - GEORGE
