yog_sothoth Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 So, with a Contax camera and primes, I am finding it difficult to find a camera bag that is well suited for small lenses. The bags all seem to be deep for the zooms which are so popular today, which means a lot of space is wasted. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good bag for a 35mm slr and five small primes?

gene m Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I consider my wife a pretty good old bag. She's not available though. Unless she reads this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Stephen, How about a good vest. Their pockets are about right for smaller lenses... Gene.. .. LOL...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilk_inc Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Domke F-803. Two bodies and 4-6 small primes, easily (get the two-compartment insert). Daily, all day long, for weeks when I travel. Flat, comfortable, inconspicuous. At least give it a thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwrtertbsratbs5 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I like to use a small Timbuk2 messenger bag. I keep my lenses in individual cases and I have a Zing neoprene 'bag' for my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Domke, Tenba, Tamrac, etc. small bags for a single camera and a couple of small lenses are widely available both from stores like B&H and on eBay. I'm still searching for the perfect bag, however, and if Gene's wife does see that post, perhaps I'll have a go there. Since they periodically bring out "new models", there are even "new old stock" bags being sold by B&H (as I know, and probably others too) as "used". I got a lovely midsized Tamrac bag for practically nothing on eBay, and its only flaw was that it had loops for 35mm film canisters instead of for flash cards. The vest solution is good too, except look for _fisherman's_ vests; they sell for a fraction for the same vest sold as a "photographer" vest. Go check them out at a big store sportsman shop.

vidom Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Some of the smaller Billingham bags are perfect for small RF outfits; alas, cheap they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
