New camera bag needed

I think this thread neatly illustrates that there are three dimensions to buying a bag:

 

  • Practicality
  • Taste
  • Context

I wouldn't be seen dead with a bag like that and it would stick out like a sore thumb around here.

 

Equally you would probably deride my taste and think my choice of bag conspicuous.

 

C'est la vie :rolleyes:

 

Seriously, enjoy it. I hope it does the job for you.

 

Regards,

 

Bill

There will be once I get the Tenba insert sewn in

 

Heck, what I have done for years is just switch my A&A red inserts between different bags instead of sewing it in place and they have all the padding you'll ever need. I do not have A&A bags, but use their inserts from generic backpacks to shoulder bags and no one knows what's inside. Now I must admit they are made for Leica gear, but even my 70-200 Nikon fits in my cheap Walmart backpack even while stacking 2 of the A&A inserts on top of each other for a total of two M bodies and 6 lenses.

 

Now that I have the ONA backpack I will carry (only when shooting wildlife from a distance) the Nikon gear in the bottom and some Leica gear on the top compartment shelf for easy access.

Makes sense. So I need a 'bag' to lug gear around at weddings. It would be handy if I could stand on it for higher pov. It must not clash with the 'style' or 'taste' of the client. Hmm... black Peli Storm iM2500?

 

I'm not sure anyone would want to snatch this from the owner, either; looks like a sniper's kit bag.

If you really have to "carry" all that stuff - consider a Pelican PCS bag. Couple of models,

durable ballistic nylon with more than adequate padding, optional wheels, and the shoulder

bag is sized to neatly fit inside one of their hardsided shipping containers. You could

buy a couple of each for what Leica asks for their hardsided case and get everything by the

red logo.
