Poll: Are you "man enough" to admit it?

[Larky]

I answered no, then realised that actually I do, and it suits the stuff I wear, so really I should be in the third category.

Whoops.

But, it only ever carries the G1, lenses, the GX-100 and the SP35. It never has my wallet or keys in it, but sometimes I leave my make-up in it.... 😉

My wife has a black belt in shopping and the handbag to match! Given that I travel extensively as part of my work I have been known to carry a fetching little number in black leather which carries passport, tickets, and a copy of "The User's Guide to the Universe".

I guess my large size Timbuk2 messenger bag qualifies as "man purse" -- hard to go anywhere without the laptop, research materials, a book or two, and, of course, camera ;-)

Satanists like Jil Sander think men should carry stuff like this around!
Why don't they just neuter the sexes by genetically altering the world's water supply and be done with it?

Indiana Jones wears a purse!

I stuff it all in my pant pockets. I can usually fit a couple of lenses, cell phone, maybe a CLE body and a leatherman.

I carry a ridiculously large crumpler messenger bag, that could probably fit an entire person carrying a purse inside of it. That or I go for the $2 camera bag that came free with my DSLR.

I have a canvas bag that I carry my camera and film in, and - I hate to admit - occasionally other items that are not photo related.

Few years ago when I bought my Canon SLR, I got a free camerabag with it. It has Canon written on it in big big red letters. I decided I dont like the bag and its better if I just write "please mug me" on my forehead. I use it to store my Canon at home. If I need the camera somewhere else, its my backbag that gets used. Indluding on trips, cameras, film and clothes get stuffed into the backbag.

Though those National Geographic bags look nice. They are even available in Estonia, but price is 2x higher than in US (the small bag mentioned above by TheHub costs 85$ here).

I rock the man-purse these days. I used to go everywhere with my backpack with a small domke wedged inside it for my cameras to sit all happy in until a few weeks back i was walking and suddenly noticed some clown trying to unzip my bag as I walked. Granted the guy was a piss poor thief and nothing got jacked, but the man purse rests snugly on my hip and my hand rests over it preventing this kind of blindspot attack.
