Hey guys, I recently got a hasselblad 500c/m a few weeks ago with a 50mm lens. I'm trying to find a bag I can put this rig in with a flash and light meter but having a hard time doing so. Any suggestions? thanks
 
I use the Domke F-2 Original Bag for my Hasselblad. I can fit the body with attached lens, a lens case (for my 40mm), light meter, and I put color film in one side pouch, b/w in the other. I put finished rolls in the zipper compartment in the top flap. There are two pockets in the front where I keep my notebook, pens, and little rolls of gaffer tape.

EDIT: sorry - missed the flash part. Should still work, given that the flash might be smaller than the massive 40mm case.

I used the Domke F2 for a long time. Now I have switched to the Tenba medium format bag. It is obviously patterned after the Domke, but is just a little larger and roomier enough to fit the gear I want to carry. And it's nylon cordura. Only thing is, the removable insert that I got with it is lousy. I pulled it out and substituted the one from my F-2.
 
I have a battered Lowepro knockoff I've had forever, it is a great blad bag. Paid 20 bucks for it twenty years ago. And the Domke F2 is another good blad choice, I have four of them for blads, leicas, whatever.

For carrying absolutely everything I have a massive Billingham bag with large accessory pouches. It's so heavy I can't carry it far, but it deploys everything well from the ground and works keeping it all well organized.

For incognito carrying I like the Domke Messenger bag, it carrys the 350mm f5.6 Tele Tessar and the 40mm Distagon, I hand carry a body, and it works well. I can take it anywhere.

A 500c/m (waist-level finder) with 50 Distagon, meter and flash will fit easily into a Billingham Hadley Pro (shoulder bag) but I find the weight to be too much. I use a Lowepro Rover AW II (backpack) that lets me also carry the 80/2.8 and 150/4 lenses in comfort.
