Oberwerth Munchen Overview

Complement, transport, and store your high-end camera gear in the style-centric Munchen Large Camera Bag from Oberwerth. This bag features a dark brown leather exterior. Included inside the bag is a removable padded insert that features two adjustable, touch-fastening dividers. The insert can hold a midsize DSLR with attached lens, an extra lens, 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, and speedlight. Between the insert and inner compartment is room for up to a 13" laptop.

The bag's inner compartment has a layer of Cordura 150D covered with a lining of light gray fleece to help you locate gear and prevent that gear from being scratched. On the interior back wall is a small zippered pocket for thin items like credit cards, money, and a driver's license. Next to this pocket is a larger slip-in pocket for your mobile phone. For photographers with larger phones or an up to 13" tablet, there's an exterior, padded, zippered rear pocket.

The exterior of the bag is made of Cordura 200D and has leather accents. The front flap is made of leather and lined with Cordura. It covers both the inner compartment and the exterior dual front slip-in pockets, which have expandable accordion hinges. The cover stays closed with two stainless steel snaps. At each end of the bag is a side flap with leather trim for increased protection from the elements.

For carrying the bag, there is a carry handle, Cordura trolley belt, and an adjustable shoulder strap with a sliding pad. The handle, strap, and pad are made of Cordura 150D with leather trim. Munchen bags are handmade in Germany and may be paired with matching bags and accessories from the Oberwerth product line.

Removable Insert
In terms of storing and protecting your equipment, the insert comes with two removable padded dividers that you can position as needed. For improved weather and shock protection, the insert is made of padded Cordura 150D. The dividers and the insert's interior are lined with light gray fleece to help you locate gear and prevent it from being scratched. To reduce weight and provide added cushioning, the insert walls and pads have sealed air-filled chambers. The front of the insert has a touch-fastening fabric strip to help secure the insert to the camera bag. For increased security, the top flap of the insert closes with two touch-fastening tabs, and underneath the flap are two leather compartments suitable for storing memory cards.
Versatility
Use as a well-padded camera bag with the included insert, or as a small messenger bag with the insert removed.
Adjustable Shoulder Strap
Oberwerth camera bag straps are made from a sewn fabric "sandwich" of leather, cut-resistant PET tape, and Cordura nylon. The ultra-thin PET tape is located on the first and last 16" of the strap and has a tensile strength of 3,700 N. For extra comfort, this adjustable strap features a sliding pad.
Leather
Oberwerth bags feature natural, dyed, vegetable-tanned cow hide. These processes produce a unique, pleasing uneven patina—a characteristic shared with other high-end leather items.
Snap-Locks
The stainless steel fasteners feature a two-part quick release design for the snap; a locking top attaches to a bottom snap to form a tight bond. For added durability, the locking mechanism is almost completely self-enclosed.

Oberwerth Munchen Reviews

Great leather and workmanship, but functional?

By Ronald
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2020-06-15

I have been involved in photography for more than 60 years, and love leather bags. The Munchen is made of high quality leather, even its aroma wreaks quality, but if you are accustomed, as I am, to carrying your bag over a shoulder and removing and replacing your camera from it with ease, look elsewhere. It tends to deform some under those circumstances, and since the closure mechanism is fixed, there is no room for expansion, as the lid must line up perfectly with the metal pins to lock into place. I love looking at this bag and running my fingers across the smooth leather, but I have relegated it to a shelf. However, if you are the type of photographer who rests your bag on a stable surface before removing or reinserting the camera, it should work just fine, depending upon your camera of choice.

Ideal camera bag for Leica

The Oberwerth Munchen is undoubtedly the ideal camera bag for the Leica SL together with some accessories. It comfortably holds the camera with the 24-90 lens attached, and there is plenty of room for two fixed lenses and some other bits and pieces too. It does not hold the hefty 90-280 zoom lens. For those strong enough to carry the SL and the two zoom lenses you will need the Munchen Porto, which again is ideal for that combination. The bags are superbly made. The only other bags that come anywhere close to being so good for the SL are the ONA range. Of course they too are excellent, and slightly different in style. Until finding Oberwerth, they were my bags of choice. Now I unhesitatingly recommend both brands as being exceptionally good for Leica users, and put the Oberwerth bags just slightly ahead of ONA.

Asked by: Steve
The Oberwerth Munchen Large Camera Bag is part of a collection called the Oberwerth product line. This bag is handmade in Germany and works well with matching bags and accessories. This camera bag does not appear to be a conventional camera bag, making your equipment less likely to be stolen, and the construction, keeps the photographer's equipment safely separated and water resistant. No question, this leather bag is collectible, and practical.
