Hi guys,

Can anybody recommend a minimalist holster style neoprene camera bag with belt loops for the GH2 with a Takumar 25mm lens? Smaller the better for when you just want to carry the camera and lens only. Something like this but unfortunately it isn't made to hold the camera in the bag while on your belt:

Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

I'm pretty sure there's a single belt loop on that $17 USA Gear FlexArmor Case. Here is a picture from the gallery:

It's not Neoprene, but the $15 Polaroid holster is also the right size, weather-resistant - and has a double belt loop.

Hope this is helpful,

Thanks Bill. Yeah, the USA Gear Flex Armor case does have a belt loop. I almost purchased it but upon reading the reviews it is stated and confirmed by the manufacturer that the case is not made to hold the camera while on your belt.

Thanks for the Polaroid suggestion. I actually found something at my local Best Buy which has a belt loop but I found using the shoulder strap as a belt actually works much better. Helps distribute the weight more evenly.

there is a clip that you attach to your belt that you click the camera into and snap it out when youre ready to shoot - I was quite happy with it till the day I knelt down and watched the camera pop off the clip and bounce along the boardwalk coming to rest on a wire support overlooking a lake - camera okay...clip straight in the bin!
