BIG Bag for MF System?

[giganova]

My Mamiya RZ67 with a 110/2.8 lens and a spare 120 back fit snuggly into my Dome F2, with a few 120 rolls of film and a light meter stuffed into the side pockets. However, no space for another lens!

What bag is larger than a Domke F2 that I could still carry around?
Filson Magnum, Dome F1-X? 😕

the domke f1-x is quite big and there is another similar bag that is a bit bigger...but i cannot remember the designation for it atm...i have both at home and can check when i'm there.

A lot depends on your back and use. How fast to you want/need to get how much out?

Would two bags work better than a single? One for the RZ that collapses and the second for a few backs, another lens?

I think the Domke that is bigger than the F1 is the F7. It's not so much larger as it is taller as I recall. I have my RZ in a Pelican 1510, with the 50 mounted, the 110, the winder and an extra back, the metered finder has to be separate there's not enough height in it. Room for a large light meter or several rolls of film. Suffice to say this isn't a carry bag, the redeeming thing is that it has wheels and an extension handle.

Tenba DNA Messenger 11. Fits a 500CM, 80, 60 f3.5, both hoods, spare back and light meter. Just. And a portable tripod and some film. Nice bag.

Hm, the Pelican 1510 case is an interesting option: I could put the entire kit inside the case in the car, and when I hit the streets to shoot, I hang the Mamiya with the strap over my shoulder and use a smaller bag for the extra magazine(s), lens and film.

Water proof and some what shock proof too.

The f1x looks a bit bigger than the f7...one is higher one is longer...might cancel themselves out. Both good looking bags.

The Domke Large Messenger Bag is colossal. It could easily handle your gear. I have one that I used for storage, or to bring along if I need all my M cameras and lenses.

I got one used in Ruggedwear for $140.00 on Fleabay last year.

If Domke made a suitcase, it would be like this one.

A Billingham 445 will swallow the RZ with 110mm f/2.8 (or 180mm f/4.5), L-grip, and WLF, a couple of spare magazines, a meter, spare film, and a 13' Macbook Pro, while giving you the best-looking hernia you ever had; a 555 will take your extra lens too and provide a comfortable headrest while you wait for the ambulance to arrive.

billingham 445 would hold it all.

I used the Domke F1-X when I carried a Hasselblad system. It held the camera, a second film back, 50, 80, and 150mm lenses, and a handheld meter, as well as a lot of film.

I've found it a bit of a tight squeeze with the second lens; otherwise a very suitable bag.

Yep:

They've renamed it. My tag says the Large Messenger Bag. FWIW. Early model name, I suppose.

Here is what I came up with:

For transport (e.g., in the trunk of the car) and for storage, I bought this aluminum case on Ebay for a whopping $39.- Then I bought a piece of 7 inch wide plywood, a yoga mat to wrap the plywood, some spray adhesive, and built my own interior dividers. $50.- total costs and fits my gear perfectly! 😀
