Bag help please..here we go again!

The one I bought was a Hakuba, but I was in Japan at the time. In any event is is only big enough for two bodies and lenses.

I really like the look of this Peak Design, available in Oz. Full access from the side, and clever flip up lens partitions. A good 30 litre size, too.

What do you think?

This one has side, top and rear access. Looks very versatile ...

Side and back access, with separate top compartment for tequi .. Water 😉

Ha Ha Ha @Mute-on are you an Aussie mate? GOLD!

Tell you what a couple of these look OK. The Peak Design, not so much. I'm more the classic styling kind of guy. Actually would always opt for canvas, brass and a little leather if given the choice....hence why I'm a sucker for Billingham and Domke. Having said that, even with the space age materials that Manfrotto looks pretty interesting.

Temba 995. In my opinion, the best shoulder bag ever.
bought my first one about 25 or 30 years ago for my SLR kit and it's still going strong, and found a second one used about 10 years ago for my rangefinders.
Long out of production, you might be lucky enough to find one on ebay or at a swap meet.

Thanks for the reply Robert. Mate do you mean this bag here?
....best I could find under TENBA 995

If so, she seems a biggun for rangefinders. Can see the utility though, boy you could pocket an apple for each hour of your shoot 😉

What did you end up with? Did I hear an F6?

If I were in your position, I wouldn't take both kits with me shooting in one session. Problem solved!

Can't really argue with this ... 😉

Thanks to the great advice from my friends on here, this was where I arrived.

I agree, the kit needs to be kept minimal...but this works in the Hadley Pro - Mamiya 6 with 75mm attached, 50mm riding shotgun and Leica M6 with 35-cron besides. Film and accessories all safely stowed....and room enough for just a little more if needs must. Any more than this and I'll need another bag. Oh who am I kidding I'll always 'need' another bag. Backpack next thanks to @Mute-on

Huge thanks again to all

Yup.
That's the one. Fantastic bag, among the best photographic purchases I ever made.
Looks just like my original one, even the same colour, although it did come in two models as I recall. One slightly deeper than the other, mine being the shallower model.
To clarify, I don't carry the bag while I shoot any more, but rather just carry lensed cameras, film and a light meter to save weight. The bags are just the "home bases" for the two systems I run; SLR and rangefinder.
The rangefinder bag holds four bodies, seven lenses, film, light meter, plus various odds and ends, so I can put together a street kit to my liking before I hit the pavement. with the number of lenses and bodies I have that isn't possible with the SLR bag, so I have to custom load it before I leave the house. Typically it holds three motorized bodies and three lenses, tele-converter, flash, light meter, filters, film, plus a few odds and ends. For carrying on the street, I have a modified back pack and a recently acquired fighter pilots helmet bag for schlepping gear if I need to carry a bag.

Excellent choice! I have a closet full of bags but I always go back to a Billingham.

Excellent choice, Mark. Looks like a nicely balanced system, too. Can't wait for mine to arrive now. I reckon I could fit all three of my Ms with lenses attached into the Hadley Pro 🙂

I'll keep an eye out for your backpack, mate. Whenever you're ready 😉

Cheers

Congratulations on the buy mate.
Three Ms? Easily done. It's made for it. You're going to be a happy camper.
