abiggs Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I remember seeing a short article in VC a few months back. George DeWolfe was using a Billingham satchel to carry around his LF gear in the field. He put his camera on the tripod, and used the satchel to carry around essentials in the field. Obviously not for traveling or backpacking, but I am looking for something similar for 1-3 lenses (smaller f8 versions), 4-6 4x5 film holders, a pack of QuickLoads, and some filters. I might also use something like this for 35mm gear. <p> It seems like a great solution when working within short distances of my car. <p> Any clue which Billingham model was in the photo?

paul_owen Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Andy, Haven't seen the photo, but the only "satchel-type" I can recall is the PhotoHadley, in particular the "Packington" version, which is taller. I owned the standard Hadley a few years back and used it for a small nikon 35mm outfit. It would serve as an excellent essentials bag, but I would be wary leaving the camera on the pod unless I had a waterproof/dustproof cover on it (like a small stuffsac) Hope this helps Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william_mitchell Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 The satchel to which you referred I believe is made by Domke.BILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_brewster Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 It was the May/June 2001 issue of View Camera, and the satchel was indeed a Domke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_kemner1 Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Andy, <p> I've been using a similar setup for some time and use both a Domke bag and a Tenba bag of similar design. I prefer the Tenba for some extra padding in the side products but would recommend either one. Both have 4 pocket inserts that you can pull out without having to unload. Its pretty easy to have a couple sets of inserts with different lens kits for whatever shooting you are going to do. <p> Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_dial Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 In the magazine article he refers to it as the Domke camera satchel.I just happened to have a Domke catalog so I looked it up. Sure enough they have a bag called a "Camera Satchel" - model F-803. <p> Main compartment - 13" long 4" wide and 9" deep. Weighs 1 pound 15 ounces.
