I currently have a 6 million crumple bag but now that I have a new Leica I feel that I need a new bag so please can any of you that have the items below tell me what camera bag you use;

· Leica M9-P

· 21mm f3.4

· 35mm f2

· 50mm f1.4

· Nikon D3s

· 70/200mm f2.8

· Lee Filters for all of the above

I am looking for something to carry with me while out shooting and for taking in the car

Thanks in advance

I have a feeling that with all that gear you might just need an ONA backpack. Check them out on B&H site. Not cheap, but well made and very practical what with the adjustable upper "table" inside.

 

I also own that 70-200 2.8 and it will fit in the lower compartment of the ONA.

Take a look at the Billingham 335 ( Billingham 335 Shoulder Bag BI 503033 B&H Photo Video ).

 

It is a great bag and will carry your M9 and M lenses or the Nikon & lens - just not all at the same time, which will likely screw up your back & shoulders unless you are a power lifter.

 

If you really want to carry it all at once, the Billingham 550 would do that.

The 6 million dollar home should be ample for your M9 with 3 lenses. Are you sure you need to lug that D3 everywhere and in the process breaking your back?
I do if I want to have a long lens with me:

But most of the time I shoot street so maybe a bum bag to carry an extra body and different lens and the other body around my neck, if I am out hiking then the M9 around my neck and the rest in the 6 million..........maybe

I will have to wait until I get home ( I am on a Oil rig right now) and check and see if all my stuff will fit in the 6 million bag.

I do like the Bingham bags but that have got SNATCH ME written all over them:mad:

I use a Billingham Small Hadley for my M9 and two extra lenses (etc.). I will simply NOT carry more for any length of time. I have long outgrown the 'everything plus the kitchen sink' syndrome.

 

In the bag I usually carry the camera with 21mm Super-Elmar, 35mm Summilux and either a 50mm Summilux or a 90mm lens (occasionally a 135mm Apo-Telyt instead). Lenses longer than that is for birdie photogs and for the paparazzi, and I am neither.

 

Snatchers? I carry the bag with the strap crosswise, Pony Express style, so they would have to snatch me too. And that would be moderately dangerous – to them.

I really like the look of the Belstaff Colonial bag but would like to know where you can get an insert for it to hold 2 x M9 Bodies and a total of 3 lenses

Be brave and dump the nikon stuff

 

You wont miss it.

 

These days I'm maxed out with M9 + lens and two spare appropriate to my intentions. (Lowepro Streamline 100 for lenses and camera in my hand)

 

I cannot remember the last time I came home wishing I had taken my 'XXmmfX' lens because I missed a fantastic shot.

 

Many a time cursing the fact I had hauled round something I never used though.... or missed a shot in my efforts to frantically change lenses when I should just have been taking the bl**dy photograph ....:rolleyes:
