Thinking about selling off my 2 Crumpler bags. One barely used, the other in LN condition. One is the 7mil in forest green, the other is a Brazillion in black/orange. What is the resale value on these?

Anyone have a backpacking solution to taking gear? I probably wont have space for much other than a single body, one lens, and my x100. Its a 3-4 day trip. The x100 could live around my neck and I might end up wrapping my d700 and lens in a towel and storing it in my backpack.

For backpacking, you might also pick up a camera holster of some kind and strap that to your pack or harness somewhere if you want to be able to get at it easier.

Was gonna hook the X100 to the front shoulder strap, and ill probably just wrap the DSLR in some foam and pack it in my sleeping bag. Never thought of that. Thanks!

This trip is a planned photo trip, so I probably wont leave the D700 out.

I have a Chrome messenger bag and I am thinking about making a sleeve for it that will hold a camera bag insert and attach to existing velcro inside the messenger. Is there a preferred camera bag insert company to look for? I looked up some Domke inserts and it was suggested that they have subpar padding.

Is what i use. Domke inserts are actually pretty good, but I was given these as a gift.

I'm sort of a gearfag when it comes to this. I'm a pretty firm believer that you are only as good as the best camera you have on you. If I can't carry all of my stuff with me, it's time to get a larger bag. Right now I have a Kata 3n1-30. However I'm starting to reach the breaking point as I start getting serious with portraiture and buying a billion lights and accessories. I will learn. I must learn.

Use of gearfag term generally gets you a bag of dicks avatar. Its probably in the queue now.

I currently have a Thinktank Retro 10 that used to be home for a D600, grip, 24-70, and a few primes. Now its home to an XE1 with 18-55, Nikkor 135 DC, 50mm, and possibly a 24mm prime. The problem? Its too big. I was thinking about trading down to a Thinktank Retro 5 but that may also be too big.

Anyone got any recommendations? I prefer the style of the thinktank retro bags.

A friend just told me about Mindshift Gear Rotation 180: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/134466492/rotation180-photo-backpack



http://dancarrphotography.com/blog/2013/04/05/mindshift-gears-new-rotation-180-pro-full-review/

Mind. Blown. No idea about price or availability though.

Edit: holy crap I think I stick with normal gear: "Rotation 180 Pro – $389.99"


I just cant stop hatin on this bag. It looks horrible for back country use. Maybe they would loan me one for a review since I have about 200miles of PCT to cover this summer. Just kidding, that looks like it wouldn't make it 10 miles before it got uncomfortable.

That F-Stop stuff looks pretty cool. I've been searching for a good backpack/photobag to do a hike in/hike out overnight camping trip.


Do you bring camera gear? What do you use?

Last summer I tossed a D700 and 24-70 along with an x100 into my bag. Wrapped the d700 and lens in their own separate home made wrap and hung the x100 from my front pack-strap without hassle. That was on top of 8 days of food/gear. This year will be an Xe1 and 18-55mm lens only. Using the same travel friendly carbon-fiber tripod that packs down to 17 inches.

My current pack is a Kelty redcloud 110.
