charlesphoto99 Posted July 10, 2007 Share #61 Posted July 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Umm currently in the bag is a Hasselblad SWC and Quantum strobe set-up but thats for something entirely different.... Anyway, I usually have two-four different bags of gear going for different purposes: M8 M7 .58x (with motor) 21 pre-asph 24 28 summicron 35 summilux ASPH 50 pre-asph version 2 90 APO Nikon D200/F100 plus all MF AIS primes: 20, 28f2, 50f1.8, 105f1.8 (2) Mamiya 6 bodies w/50 and 75 Mamiya 7II with 50 and 80 Rolleiflex 2.8F Schneider Xenotar (and brightscreen - makes it a modern camera) Hasselblad SWC as mentioned. Bags: Billingham 500 (big!) Lowepro basic backpack Artist and Artisan Sabastio Domke small size ballistic satchel On my desire list: Either the WATE or the Zeiss 18mm if/when it's released. Second M8 someday (probably have to sell the Nikon gear) though the Canon Mk3 appears to be a nice option as well. Some Profoto gear would be nice too.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted July 10, 2007 Share #62 Posted July 10, 2007 Couple observations as we list this. We certainly have a nice selection of glass be it leica, Zeiss and CV lenses We don't take everything on a shooting venture , maybe 5 tops. Some are bad like me and take more. Some folks only take one or two lenses Biggy here: multiple bags depending on what you are going to do, usually small bags is the preference No surprise: looking for the next lens. LAD: We all have Leica Acquistion disease. Trading: seems we will sell any Nikon , Canon or whatever to get more M lenses. Guilty Most popular focal length 28 and 35 The biggest plus: Sounds like we are having fun Okay keep going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmb_ Posted July 10, 2007 Share #63 Posted July 10, 2007 My next bag will probably be the Think Tank Airport International. My wife thinks I am taking her on a trip. I am planning to travel with the DMR and she can come along too. I will need help carrying the tripod! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted July 10, 2007 Share #64 Posted July 10, 2007 Like certain kinds of body "equipment," it's not what you have that matters. It's how you use it that counts. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted July 10, 2007 Share #65 Posted July 10, 2007 I prefer to think of my kit in 3 sections: M8 + one of these lens sets: Classic Canon 28 f/2.8 Canon 50 f/1.5 Travel (nothing heavy here) CV15 Leica 28 f/2.8 asph 90 macro elmar Lowlight CV 28 ultron CV 35 ultron 75 lux The only change I really want to make is to replace the 35 ultron with a 35 lux asph. I will get around to that one day soon. Bags: Billingham Hadley Pro, Domke F3-x, and some old army bag I've converted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted July 10, 2007 Share #67 Posted July 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) For M8 users only and if you have a lot of gear like me . Check out the Think Tank Antidote backpack and it comes with a 15 inch laptop insert which my MBP fits perfect. It's not real deep which is perfect for the M8 stuff. At least 2 bodies with lenses on and 8 more lenses plus flash and you name it. perfect solution for the One bag travel bag because you can put the MBP in it or not when you can carry two. All England airports are down to ONE carry on and also fits all the regional jets for carry on Professional photography equipment - camera bags, camera cases - from Think Tank Photo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenerrolrd Posted July 10, 2007 Share #68 Posted July 10, 2007 My next bag will probably be the Think Tank Airport International. My wife thinks I am taking her on a trip. I am planning to travel with the DMR and she can come along too. I will need help carrying the tripod! OK Here is you business case....LOL....I aquired a TTAI right before the Leica trip to Germany last month. It was a life saver for me . I packed it with my DMR/R9 , (2) M8 s and about I think 10 lenses . and my macBook. I used my Billinghams (2) for all the small stuff..they weight nothing without the cameras . I used a medium sized LLBEAN roller duffle and checked it . So while traveling ..I had a small Billingham and the TTAI. My wife had the other empty Billingham. If I had a weight problem I could have transferred the contents to my Billinghams and my travel Vest ( uncomfortable but workable) . Now the big advantage was once the trip was underway. The TTAI has a neat security lock and a wire cable built into the back. So if we were walking I could take one or two bodies and say 4 lenses . The TTAI was then wired to the radiator with the rest of my equipment reasonably secure. Certainly a determined thief would have gotten it ..but no easy lifting of items. This also worked on the bus or in rental cars . So I had a protected secure camera safe all the time . If I had packed the camera bags 100% then I would have been leaving bodies and lenses in my duffle while shooting. Of course I could have just taken less but that would be truely ridiculous on a Leica/Porsche trip. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpierce Posted July 10, 2007 Share #69 Posted July 10, 2007 CV15 w/JM, 28 asph, 50 lux w/30%, and 75 cron w/o US warrenty. Those lenses, in their black leather pouches (CV15 in small wrap), fit in a green TravelSmith bag with two spare batteries, three spare 2GB Ultra II, and a Nikon SB80 speedlight in one side pocket and an umbrella in the other. The M8 using Leicagoodies Hook and Sling sits on top of the lens pouches along with a large microfiber detailing cloth (not for lenses). Small nondescript package, but a bit hard/slow to get to stuff. Bob Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malland Posted July 10, 2007 Share #72 Posted July 10, 2007 And the point of this thread being....? My experience is that the proportion of good pictures shot is inversely proportional to the number of lenses one carries. And I cannot help breaking the mood of this thread — gloom to me for the rampant consumerism — by inserting a picture taken with the DR Summicron. Read the meaning as you will. —Mitch/Potomac Mitch Alland's slideshow on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carstenw Posted July 10, 2007 Share #74 Posted July 10, 2007 Mitch, great picture! Is that film, or did you manage to get your DR onto the M8? I am still trying to figure out how to use my DR on my M8, but so far, it is M6 only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
