If you've read all you want about lenses and bodies, well, Sean Reid has just made your day.

 

His site includes a review of the Artisan and Artist bag namesd after Eugene Smith.

 

This appreciative review is just for the rf photog who needs still another bag.

[Guest guy_mancuso]

Hey i have that bag already. LOL

 

I like the Osker Day bag better but does not hold as much, reason for both. Okay i have bag aquisition disease as well as lenses. I need a doctor

[Iron Flatline]

Great, now I want one of those...

 

Actually, I've been using the small Lowepro Sling-Bag (the model 100) and must say it works well for an RF, three lenses, a charger, and various supplies.

 

Not me, I'm a little balder at this point...

Guy, In his review, Sean says you put him on to the bag.

 

This doctor says ytou will feel a lot better if you put all your wide lenses in one of these bags, pad carefully, and ship to me. You'll never notice they're missing....

 

Best regerds,

LOL lens on the way Bill. Yes i did recommend the IS to him, Nice to see he did a write up on it. Really nice bag . Mine i can hold two M8's with shorter lens attached 50 lux down . Than i can get 4 more lenses like the 135,90,75 and the Wate in the front section which is really nice when you need the system with you but takes up a small space on your hip. The only trouble I have is if you take both bodies out than the front section get's a little forward lean and loses it's balance a little but putting some longer glass in that spot helps when your actually running around shooting with it. I customized my bag a little from some inserts from the Oskar Day bag , so have to read what Sean came up with as far as capacity

He says something about 7 lenses, so he must have a bunch of little ones that you didn't need anymore.

Easily could be seven there is vertical room to stack in the front section. Like a CV15m and 35 cron could easily be stacked if needed. The tallest lens the 135mm apo is about the limit so you can figure that out from the size of a lens that will fit in front.

 

here is some images from the website. i put in a extra divider in the front so it's 4 slots

I have the Oskar One Day bag which seems to be the same size as the large section of the Image Smith, but with a foldover flap instead of the zipper. I only have one rangefinder, so the Oskar is perfect for my M8 and four lenses. I am getting a Noctilux tomorrow, though, so will have to see if I can jam that in there too.

What's that round black and yellow thing on the far right that has the number 400 on it?

A single-usage, gelatin-based, chemically provoked, airport-sensitive, M8-incompatible, M6-compatible strip-sensor. I hear that the B&W editions named Tri-X are still worth the trouble.

oh God, another bag thread, oh well

there used to be a little Billingham that took a small or RF body and a couple of lenses

has the usual two pockets on the front for accessories

anyone remember what it was called ?

[stunsworth]

Rob, Alice?

 

If the bag does leak though the uncovered zips - as mentioned as a possibility in the review by Sean - then for many of us it would be less than useless, especially given the summer we've had in many parts of Northern Europe.

 

Perhaps filling the bag with newspaper and putting it under a shower for a few seconds would answer the leak question.

Hi Guy,

 

Yes, you're mentioned in that article.

I'll do that with some towels. Travelling now but home tomorrow.

 

As for capacity - 7 medium sized RF lenses without stacking:

 

R-D1 with lens, M8 with lens, one more lens (main compartment)

4 more lenses (smaller compartment)

 

Stacking would allow for several more lenses if needed.

 

Cheers,

You got a extra lens in the main with both bodies with lenses. pretty cool trick. i can throw one in there but need a piece of foam between a body/lens and the lens . But handy for travel

[voightL]

Me too.

 

Cheers,

 

Sean

 

 

Hi Sean,

Where did you order the spare divider? I wrote to PhotoVillage, they only have the replacement foam for the larger compartment. Thanks.

 

Cheers,

Hi Mike,

 

I took it from another camera bag (mine or my wife's, can't recall). She's also a professional photographer. Look around at your local Ritz camera or the like and you'll likely find a case with a divider that you can use. It may have come from a smaller Lowepro camera backpack but I have so much stuff floating around here, I can't recall.

 

Cheers,
