TsarAleksi posted:Domke J-1 This looks like a better version of the Tamrac shoulder bag I have:  The Tamrac is very nice, but has limited padding. The outside has a leather suede cover that is attractive and holds up to all kinds of abuse and doesn't show dirt. It is fine in the rain/snow/sleet/dust/etc. Mine now has a stain from somebody spilling red wine on it (that was not me). It can hold a large quantity of lenses using the default compartments, which I have never bothered to remove because they suit me perfectly. Each slot can hold a lens the size of a 70-200mm. But frequently, since I don't carry lenses that long, I can stack shorter lenses on top of each other, filling each slot with two lenses, (and sometimes 3 lenses), giving it a maximum payload of 6 lenses! This can get a little heavy so don't put six lenses in it. This is meant to be a light travel bag and I really like it for this purpose. The downside: It has a propensity to fall forward if you're stacking it with lenses. Gotta watch the bag if you're stacking. Also, it does not easily hold a pro body (or a body without a removable grip, at least), and that can be annoying. However, for most of my shooting the camera is around my neck the whole time so I don't care. ... I think I might take a look at that Domke you have there Tsar, as it looks like it has some advantages mine is missing (like good padding and the ability to stick a pro body + lens inside. Plus you can still carry 3 lenses which is a good amount.) ... I also have a f.64 bag that I picked up in a thrift shop for $5 in almost new condition. Great bag! Good padding, extremely sturdy build quality, but the layout inside sort-of throws me. It can hold a body and a lens, plus two other lenses, but it's sort-of awkward and wide so it makes lugging it around the shoulder somewhat odd.  Mfg link I like this bag a lot, but I really only use it for lugging equipment around on shoots as a complimentary bag to my other shoulder bag or my backpack. It's great at storing LOTS of things, but is not ideal for day-shooting in my opinion. Edit: The problem with your Domke is that it is wide like the f.64. I prefer slimmer bags. Nevertheless, I will check it out in a camera store because it looks like it could work. Mannequin fucked around with this message at 05:50 on May 1, 2010 |

I would be curious to hear from anyone who has Pelican cases and whether they like them. Which one do you use and how much equipment can you put in it? I was thinking of getting the 1510 Carry On Case but I'm not sure if foam is better or the dividers. Is this the case most photographers buy? I wish it had bigger pictures of what it could hold because that would give me a good idea of whether it's worth using on big jobs instead of my Crumpler Whiskey and Cox (which is really not that great a bag).

My thoughts on the RS-7 is that someone could slash the lens if they were walking behind you or accidentally bump into it. (I don't trust New Yorkers.) http://vimeo.com/6150158
