jmooney Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi All, I have a trip coming up and I'm looking for a bag recommendation. We're traveling by car to North Carolina. This bag will be "homebase" for my gear with the day's needs going in a smaller bag or over the shoulder, etc. I'd like a shoulder bag and here's what I have to get in it: Leica M6 with lens mountedNikon D40 with 18-55 mountedNikon N80 with 50/1.8 mountedNikon 70-300VRNikon 24-85GNikon SB-600Charger for D4010 Rolls of Film I've been looking online till me head spins so any guidance in appreciated. Take care, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce_margolis Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Jim, I might be confused but it sounds like you want one bag -- that's one shoulder bag -- that will hold three bodies, five lenses, flash, charger, and film? Uh, are you really going to carry that around on your sholder all day? Maybe I'm missing something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maris_rusis Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I use a pick-up-and-go "homebase" bag that stays packed with all the gear needed for a shoot without having to check that every, cable, charger, battery, filter is accounted for. There is nothing worse than turning up on a job and finding for example that an essential flash synch cord has been forgotten. The bag I use is the LowePro Commercial AW. I'm pretty sure it is the largest shoulder bag made but no one says that you have to carry it full to the top while actually on location. And it has the nicest shoulder strap.

Tom Wiggins Photography Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 There are many great bag manufactures, but I agree with Maris, LowePro is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent_peri Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 You might want to check out the Domke F-2 bag. It's half the price of the Lowe Pro. I can fit 3 Nikon F3HP bodies (one with motor drive attached), 8 assorted primes from 20mm to 180mm, plus 20 rolls of film, assorted film and focusing screens, and instruction manuals in an F-2.

jmooney Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions...sorry I didn't give better details. This will be a homebase kind of bag. Just to transport everything and store it safely. I'll take what I need for the day or event and put it in a smaller bag or just sling it over my shoulder.
