Kiwimac Posted June 4 Share #41 Posted June 4 Advertisement (gone after registration) I do tend to differentiate between bags to carry my gear during the international journey and bags to carry it in when working with it.   I don’t generally find that the two distinct needs are best served by a single bag.

How was Namibia? We are going next March... did you ever feel unsafe with your Leicas at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website did not escape my attention 😁, but I am unsure whether it was actually refreshed recently. I already own two Fogg bags and given their durability, I guess there is no need for me to add more. What I read is that there seem to be supply issues more recently. Robert White for instance lists all of them but has none stocked. That was different some years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you do know it was just Nigel and bee producing the bags, and bee died suddenly which left Nigel devastated and production halted. As I said earlier, Robert White has the full colour range of the new 'Can Can' bag in stock. Edited June 5 by pedaes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwimac Posted June 5 Share #45 Posted June 5 My favourite travel bag is a Billingham Eventer 2. That’s what I use as a travel bag because it will also hold stuff for the trip like headphones, Kindle, meds etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tseg Posted June 6 Author Share #47 Posted June 6 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, thanks for everyone's input. I ended up buying from a "pre-owned" reseller 2 of the Leica lens end "couplers". As long as I don't try to connect the 28mm and 35mm to the same coupler, I'm good. I sleeve them in microfiber glasses cases before putting in the bag. There is now actually plenty of room in my gently used and well built decade old Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home bag. I've always liked the functionality, size and look of this bag. Whether storing 4 lenses off the camera or 3 + 1 on the camera, even the 90mm, the case carries all I need easily. Maybe at some point in the future I explore some of your other recommended bags? Then I can post another "not another camera bag post?" racking up pages of useful information. I came here looking to buy a bigger bag, ended up with 2 couplers and get to use a bag I've always enjoyed using... and saved a few hundred bucks in the process. Welcome, dear visitor!

Jeff S Posted June 6 Share #48 Posted June 6 Another easy solution is using a simple divider that’s made for vertically stacking and protecting lenses (shelf-like). I have several of these that can be Velcro-ed into a variety of bags, as desired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesurf Posted June 8 Share #49 Posted June 8 If your lenses tend to stay in your bag, get some desiccant canisters and spread them around your bag. I DO NOT recommend storing lenses in leather cases. Leather can absorb moisture and can cause fungus if you’re storing lenses for years! I’m glad you saved money withe the crumpler! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

odoomi Posted June 8 Share #51 Posted June 8 Peak Design Sling 3l. I bought an additional folding divider and can fit an M with a lens attached and 3-4 additional lenses (90mm is too bis for the folded department). Recommended! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
