I had/have a lot of bags. All sizes and shapes that I need when I need them. Some cheap, some expensive. Why should anyone care?

[kossi008]

I own 3 dedicated photo bags but I never use them anymore. I just got me an Artisan & Artist insert holding one body and three lenses. With that, I can now convert my messenger bags (2 sizes) or backpack into camera bags...

I bought a Domke F10 and I was happy for a while. Okay, 2 weeks. And then I came across the Grafea UK website. Damn.

I have two bags, one big bag (A&A DCAM-7000) for my rf camera plus other gears, the other small bag (A&A ACAM-1100) for only a rf camera. These bags work perfect for me.

I've got a huge number of bags, I must admit.

Starting with a LowePro Adventura 170 for the small set.

Then a German Army Combat Bag for the slightly bigger set.

A Vanguard Bag for my compact NEX-set.

A CCS Heritage for my Leica-Set.

A LowePro Oion AW if I want a big waist-bag.

A Kalahari K-22 for a bigger set.

A LowePro Mini Trekker for a big DSLR set.

And a Samsonite Trekking Backpack for the really huge DSLR set.

And this weird thing to put almost everything in.

I have more bags and rollers that I can shake a stick at, but my favorite for RF gear is the Think Tank Retrospective 5.
http://www.thinktankphoto.com/catego...ospective.aspx
It will hold an RF body w/lens and several other lenses, a couple of batteries and assorted odd bits.
Mine is the the "Pinestone" color. Somewhat stylish and not too camera bag looking.

I always disliked bags , now I 've got only one , a Domke F2 since 1993 . It 's so easy to carry around , fully loaded and even more half empty . So , I just need one bag or no bag at all when I carry just a camera with one lens .

[errorlogin]

This is the bag, I use. I have this one in bigger sizes for one or two lenses more. but I like to keep it small and I use this mainly. Bought it for 12 Euro.

Hey Joe,

New bag from ThinkTank to be released in May called the "Retro 7".
It will be available in 3 colors.

Mini detail:

"Inconspicuous, soft-sided shoulder bag with a simple exterior that blends into the environment while carrying photo gear. We’ve included a rear pocket which will hold your iPad or an 11” Mac-Book Air."

Go to the ThinkTank web site for a detailed description and Dimensions.

I just finished another bag survey and found that there wasn't anything currently available that was better for me than the BBB-E.

that is very good news...i have often thought about a bag size in between the 5 and the 10! looking forward to it's release!
thanks for the heads up.

For my M4-2 with a CV 21 f4, CV 35f2.5 and 90 f4 Elmar I have a small cheap Tamrac. OK for short walkabout. But, if the weather is not too hot (not over 70F for this fat guy) then I prefer a light weight vest with cargo pockets.

For more gear my bag is a 02' Toyota Camry. I don't like carrying lots of gear and there are no interesting photographs more than 100 ft. from the car anyway.

call me, lazy ass John

I used to use larger bags and backpacks but now I carry my camera and use a smaller bag, a Domke F-5XB. I usually carry a couple of extra lenses and a few rolls of film and maybe a couple of filters. - Jim

Here's the perfect bag. How do I know? Well, gosh, their slogan reads:
"The Best Partner for Your Happiness!" How could you go wrong?

Sounded good until I looked at the website and it looks about the size of my Hadley original. It's made for DSLR so it looks a biggish bag. Hoped it was gonna be as slim as the BBBE but able to fit my iPad in its case.

[back alley]

i didn't check the measurements but if the 7 is truly between the 5 and the 10 i would be happy.
the bbb bags are pretty unique in that they have so little/no padding and therefore are truly slim.

i have to admit though, that the 10 looks/is bigger than it feels on the shoulder/hip/

Hi Joe, here are the demensions for all three Retro's (5-7-10)

Retro 5
ID: 9.5" W x 7.8" H x 4.5" D (24 x 19.5 x 11.5 cm)
ED: 10" W x 8.5" H x 6" D (25.5 x 21.5 x 15 cm)
Weight: 2.3 lbs (1.0 kg)

Retro 7
ID: 12.5” W x 8.8” H x 5” D (31.8 × 22.4 × 17.8 cm)
ED: 13.5” W x 9.5” H x 7” D (34.3 × 24.1 × 17.8 cm)
Weight: 2-3 lbs (0.9-1.4 kg)

Retro 10
ID: 12” W x 9.5” H x 6” D (30.5 x 24 x 15.2 cm)*
*bag softness and flexibility allows expansion to carry a pro size DSLR with lens attached, facing down
OD: 13” W x 10.5” H x 7” D (33 x 26.7 x 17.8 cm)
Weight: 3 lbs (1.4 kg)

You can see it is inbetween the Retro 5 and Retro 10
Like you always say "I need to see one in person", but so far it looks good.

[back alley]

thanks bob!
now, just to wait for it's release and decide on pinestone or blue...

[Bob]

I'm leaning toward blue, but it's a tough decision.
Either color would be very nice.
Oh-boy another bag!. When will it end

[back alley]

it never ends bob...never!

I just picked up a Lowepro Event Messenger 100. It's tiny, but it easily fits my Voigtlander, my Lumix GF2 and an extra lens and film. I can slip it inside my bigger packpack hassle. Highly recommended at only $45.
