LeicaMSeattle Posted December 30, 2013 Share #22 Â Posted December 30, 2013 My experience as a photojournalist has me traveling with many different sizes of bags. A couple of my favorites are the Think Tank Retrospective series 5 and 10. Designed and made by photojournalists these bags are well made of generously padded, durable heavy canvas. With use, these bags develop a very nice unassuming patina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolo Laguillo Posted January 3, 2014 Share #23 Â Posted January 3, 2014 The other day I bought the Think Tank CityWalker 10. It is a very light bag, and the quality (materials, finishing) is very high, as usual in ThinkTank products. There is a semi-rigid insert that can be dettached. And I like very much the strap and its padding. Â What do I put in? Â MM + Rokkor 2/40 M240 + PC Super-Angulon-R 2.8/28 + EVF 3.4/21 2.8/28 ... Â There is a padded slot for an iPad, but even a MBA 11'' fits in. This slot is far away from the photographer's body, on the outside, so to say, of the bag. That's the best place, to avoid rigidity and allow for the bag huging you. Â Main reasons for this new bag: Â 1st: there is space for the M240 with the PC lens attached and the EVF. I put the camera lens down into the insert's central compartment. Â and 2nd: There is enough space for the MM with a small lens attached. Â Cheers, Â Manolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
octo Posted January 17, 2014 Share #24 Â Posted January 17, 2014 I would like to buy a new camera bag for 1 maybe 2 M-bodies 2-3 lenses and a 15" PowerBook. What would be your choice? A leather bag like Ona Brixton would be nice except it is for 13" Powerbooks.Thanks in advance. Just found this link during a search for quite a different thing but it might interest some of you.

Guest jvansmit Posted January 21, 2014 Share #25 Â Posted January 21, 2014 After having my gear soaked on a movie location shoot, I now use a Stream Trail messenger bag. These are made from the same material used in truck tarpaulins. It's light enough to be carried all day, and comfortable too with the accessory shoulder pad. I also like that it has a noisy Velcro fastener in addition to the buckles...just in case someone tries to dip their hand in.

kivis Posted January 24, 2014 Share #26 Â Posted January 24, 2014 Artist & Artisan Bag - a workhorse of a bag. I have had it for 7 years and it is still in great shape. Â Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. B Posted January 25, 2014 Share #27 Â Posted January 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Why would you want to carry so much equipment at the same time? The less equipment carried the better and the easier it is to take photos. All that weight will slow you down after several hours of carrying it around. May I suggest getting a small bag and carrying less equipment. Mr. B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton C Posted February 2, 2014 Share #28 Â Posted February 2, 2014 Some one should bring out a camera bag that follows the Brightline concept for modular flight bags. It has a variety if standard and optional modular compartments that can be added or left off as needed. Â On second thought, forget I said it. I think it could be a marketable idea in an already crowded market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted February 2, 2014 Share #29 Â Posted February 2, 2014 Some one should bring out a camera bag that follows the Brightline concept for modular flight bags. It has a variety if standard and optional modular compartments that can be added or left off as needed. Â The concept exists to some degree. A quick search will show modular backpacks from Protec and Gura Gear, for instance. And various camera bag brands (e.g., Fogg) provide for add-on side pouches (for lenses, accessories, etc.) that can be quickly attached to matched larger bags. And others offer center inserts that can be removed and transported separately. Â Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted February 10, 2014 Share #30  Posted February 10, 2014 Modular bags sound like a good idea. To come at the question from a different angle, how about asking what priorities are most important. For example:  * robust  * weather resistant  * not too heavy.  * top quality fittings and zips, especially shoulder straps/lugs.  * secure  * spacious but not too big  * flexible stowage options  * distinctive but not ultra flashy or expensive looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
