Artisan and Artist bags - merged thread

On the A&A website, I see that the bags are divided into ACAM, WCAM and GCAM series and that within each of these, the bags have names such as "Evans Walker".

 

Yet many posts that I've read refer to model numbers such as "ACAM-7100". Does anyone have a quick reference as to what the fundamental differences are between the series and how the names relate to numbers?

I love my Evans walker 1100 bag. I use it for carrying one alternative lens, spare battery, nortebook, pencil, wallet and phone, plus my with lens, cloths etc.

 

All I need on a trip out, goes over the shoulder and works superbly. I had a bigger bag but although I could have put on one of a number of lenses, far too difficult to actually do on foot IMO.

The 7200 is a really nice bag. Expensive but very compact. Note that it's smaller than the Leica combination on account of slimmer profile and thinner materials used.

 

Do not that it will only be sufficient for an M9 fitted with one lens, 2 other lenses, an iPad, a small notebook and some essentials (cleaning cloth, brush, passport). Anyhting else will not fit. See the video by Steve Huff

I have a small aa bag- can't remember the model. The one I have is small- just a fraction too small but good for a camera and an extra lens. It's a good bag: but the flap is only secured by velcro- don't trust this: have some clasps stitched on. I nearly destroyed my M9 when the bag caught on something and tipped the camera out- the camera strap caught on something before the camera and lens smashed into the concrete. Very narrow escape.

Safrotto make them cheaper, of better quality materials and using metal instead of plastic fittings. They also provide inserts and shoulder pads rather than forcing you to pay extra for them.

 

At least with my bag (the diminutive f-8 purchased a year ago), the material feels very durable and holds up well against the elements, all the fittings (besides the strap adjustment piece) are made of metal, and the bag came with an adjustable insert...but no shoulder pad which does equate to some discomfort after a couple hours.

 

Tha Safrotto bags look pretty nice but the site is a bit difficult to navigate, how would one purchase something from them?

I have 5 different Domke bags at home all of varying vintage.

All are extremely durable and all come with metal fittings and not plastic.

Mine also came with inserts. Agree about the shoulder pad - bought one from Billingham and it easily moves around.

These names (Oskar Day Bag, Evan Walker etc.) were probably created when A&A was introduced into the US. The distributor has since changed. For accurate references use the Japan website カメラバッグ&アクセサリー|ARTISAN&ARTIST*ONLINE SHOPPING

or their Asia Distributor Schmidt Marketing Asia Ltd
