Just when I thought I would never need another bag, the Ciro-Flex is ready for another outing. Still haven't sent out the first roll for processing and scanning (may be another 4 weeks before I can do that), but that won't stop me from shooting the roll I just got loaded into the camera, thanks to Mike (mwooten).:)

Trouble is, I don't have a bag to carry it in. I don't like my cameras sitting on the car seat unprotected, nor do I like carrying a naked camera every time we go into the local pub/restaurant/store. There are times I just don't want to be noticed with a camera.

The dimensions of the camera with the hood are roughly 6"H x 6"Hood to back x 5" W.

What are you folks using for a TLR of similar dimensions?:confused:

P.S. I hate Tamrac/Lowepro products...Domke soft bags that don't look like a camera bag are good for me as is something all leather and used (aka cheap). Army surplus is good and vintage cases or bags would be great, too! I tried my Jack Daniels leather pouch bag but it was too small....LOL.
 
Hi Dave,

your comment about Lowe bags made me check their website as I am using a Stealth reporter bag (300?) that might be from the first version of this bag maybe 8 years ago. I assume I'll be in trouble, once this bag falls to pieces but might as well be good for another 8 years. Good luck finding "your" bag.

I am sure their products are fine for most folks. BTDT. Don't want anymore of them. I am looking for a different form these days.

I am curious if the Domke Rugged Wear 5XB is big enough to hold the Ciro-flex and the Leica X1 at the same time. The actual width of the Ciro-flex without the chrome knob on the side is about 4 inches. The X1 will take up very little space but is necessary as I use it for the light meter...:p
 
I have a small, ancient Domke somewhere that I think I got at a flea market a bazillion years ago for $5. It fts TLRs perfectly, used to carry my Rolleiflex around in it. Just room for camera, meter, film ...

Walmart may be most incognito....:p although I love the fold-up green one I have from Publix.

Reckon I will be by the Army Surplus store soon.

If you find anything nice for a TLR, please let me know!
I need one for my 'Cord, we'll see if it's practical to ship it to Indonesia :bang:
Thanks, Dave!
 
I use a soft, insulated, rectangular lunchbag that I bought at a discount store for very little. It protects the camera from knocks and heat, and certainly does not look like a camera bag. It has a shoulder strap. Just the right size for a Rolleicord.
 
I use a BBB-E for my Diacord and Yashicamat. It fits the TLR and something smaller, like the Contax G2 or X-Pro1 or any rangefinder really and there is still room for a few rolls of film.
