A good bag for a Mamiya 7II?

[Carterofmars]

Just wondering... if I ever was to have a Mamiya 7ii. Not that I'm thinking about buying one or anything. I'm just wondering about it. Seriously, I'm not going to get a 7ii...


I think.

The lowepro slingshot 200 will fit everything you need.

The lowepro slingshot 200 will fit everything you need.

It will, as will a Domke F2 with a bunch of lenses. You can even rejig the Slingshot 200 to allow instan access to the camera and lenses when against your chest. I use these two bags depending on what I am doing.

I used to have a Mamiya 6 with all three lenses. I carried it in a Domke F3x, which worked great. Still miss that camera some days.

A Mamiya 7 and 3 lenses, one of them mounted will all fit comfortably in the 5 Mil from Crumpler.

Just got one of the new Billingham f2.8 bags for my Mamiya 7II. It has the extra depth over the Hadley range that the camera requires and would comfortably hold the camera with lens attached plus an extra lens and associated films, filters etc.

Not yet tried it out in anger but I'm pleased with it so far.

Well I'm not going to talk you out of it, the camera rocks. 😀

I stuff mine into a Crumpler Six/Seven Million Dollar Home. It's just what I have handy without buying a bag especially for it. Works pretty well for the body w/lens, three other lenses, polarizer, meter and film. You could probably get away with a 5MDH even.

Well I did it. 😀😀😀 7ii in hand an LOVE it!


Now I just need to find a decent tripod and scanner for her. I'm looking at the V700.

No, of course not. Whatever for?

(It's only, like, the coolest camera ever.)

Two bodies with lenses mounted - one 65mm and one 43m. I use a Billingham Presstop 306

Anyone have any thought/opinions on the Domke F-1X ? I'm try to deside if I should get a bag just big enough to hold the 7II or get one that can hold the 7II and a Nikon body with lens. I think the F-X1 can do that. Or maybe a smaller Domke for just the 7II?

Painful decisions...

The Crumpler is 7Mil is a contender as well...

Or a Domke F2...

RRS is now making CF tripods - I can speak for the quality of their ballheads (I have a BH-40, but you might get away with a lighter weight BH-25 for the 7II), panning clamps and quick-release brackets - you might want to check them out www.reallyrightstuff.com

Carbon fibre will keep the total weight of your kit down.

i have a domke f6 in black canvas with the two lens insert instead of the 4 lens insert and it fits my 7II and will fit two other lenses no problem.

currently i only have one 7II lens so that stays mounted on the boty, but i've fit a ricoh gr21 and nikon 28ti in the insert comfortably. i've also packed tons of film in the front pocket and kept some filters and etc in the top pocket. sounds like its a big bag but its real nice and compact compared to the f2 which i find to be a bit bulky for travel
