DJExile posted:I'm looking for a new bag that can be a good all-around (usually walkaround or maybe at a sporting event) that could hold my E-30 with either a 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 or the 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD I'm saving for, along with a 40-150 and my 25mm pancake. After a generic small Promaster square bag and Lowepro Inverse beltpack thing, I think it's about time I join you folks with messenger-type bags. I have a 7 Million Dollar Home and I can tell you it has a ton of padding and plenty of space, it held my D80, the kit 18-55, my Sigma 70-200 f2.8, Nikon 50mm 1.8, Nikon 35-70 f2.8, and my Nikon SB-600 flash. It still had room with how I had it set up for another couple of lenses, another flash and probably another body. The padding is plenty thick enough and there is a shoulder pad on the seatbelt looking shoulder strap. It really is a great bag and I recommend them to anyone, unfortunately I think I am going to sell it and go to a back pack

Does anyone use a R-Strap connected to the neck strap mount on thier camera instead of the tripod mount? I want to pick one up for my D700 but with the battery grip attached thats going to be super uncomfortable

kefkafloyd posted:Attaching it to the neck strap defeats the purpose. I was talking about connecting it to just a single mount for the neck strap not both sides, but your right the fastener-3 looks like it would make it a bit more comfortable. edit: I think you mean the fastenr-2? the one with the rubber washer?

kefkafloyd posted:No, I mean the fastener-3. Both it and the -2 have the rubber washer. The -3 doesn't have the movable D-ring and is much lower profile than the fastener-2. Oh ok well thats good then Because I ordered a RS-7 with the fastener-3, hopefully it will work out well.

HPL posted:This is what I'm running with my RS-7 right now. It works well and it makes the camera hang so that the camera is almost in perfect position to grab. And you can't beat it for price. I wish that was an option, Nikon was nice enough to not put a strap ring on the batttery grip for the D700, Im going to play with it a bit when my grip gets here, without the grip the default mounting position is fine for now.

For those of you with Think Tank retrospective bags what does the material feel like? I like my Crumpler 7Mill but the material is a bit stiff i guess is the word, is the retrospective soft to the touch?

If you only have what you described in your post you might be better off with the Retrospective 20. Heres another goons review on it: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3298813&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=3#post377022726 Alternately if you decide to get the 30 I am sure the padding and everything would be exactly the same just bigger so the review is still valid.

MrBlandAverage posted:Next month I'm going to Bhutan and I'm taking my 5DII, 17-40, 24-105, and 70-200 f/2.8. I'm looking to get a camera bag that fits all of that, plus batteries and memory, without too much extra room. I have a Domke J1 and love it, but it's just too big for just what I'm taking with me, and the lid and front pockets aren't quite as secure as I'd like for this type of trip. I have the 7MDH and it fits a Nikon D700, SB900 flash, 70-200 f2.8, 35-70, 50mm, and 35mm with room to spare and it really isnt super huge, by looking at the pictures of your Domke I would say it is smaller by a decent margin

Question for guys with strobes, what cases do you recommend for 2or 3 alien bees, and a vegabond mini? Extra rom for reflectors and possibly an umbrella or two would be nice but I can make due without. Ease of movement (wheels and a handle) is important.

Colonel K posted:I've come upon a problem to which I can't seem to think of a fair solution. I have recently purchased a 70-200 2.8 vr to go on my D700 primarily for air to ground photography. The vast majority of my shooting is done from a 2'4" wide cockpit, and with the control stick between my legs which needs complete freedom of movement that really doesn't leave much space. One of the Black Rapid r-straps?

I used one for a while and it worked very well, but I find myself setting my camera down a lot to do things so I went back to the old strap

A lot of down time at wedding receptions when people are eating and such, not to mention I typically don't wear the strap anyways I just double it over and put my hand through it to hold on to the camera. Personal preference I suppose, just worked out easier to use the stock strap.

atomicthumbs posted:Unfortunately for me my camera uses little strap pivot rivets instead of ordinary rings because Mamiya just has to be different Post a picture of the pivot I am sure we can figure something out, some people use paracord.
