An Undesirable
I've got a big old Billingham bag that I inherited from someone at work and another massive Domke thing which I also picked up along the way. Between the two of them I house and move most of my kit for work, the trouble with them is that you end up taking virtually everything with you including your rapidly increasing spinal problems.
To avoid the problem I tend to stuff my jacket pockets with lenses, cleaning cloths, film, Flash cards, flash units and various sundries - I know, I buy jackets with ALOT of pockets. The trouble is that come the summer, even in the UK these days, its far too hot for a jacket so I've been looking at.....Man Bags!
Particularly for my non work photography where I want to carry a lightmeter, a couple of Leica fit lenses, phone, plenty of film and the usual other bits and bobs...as such I've been struggling to find a decent, non too colourful or expensive looking 'man bag' that actually has a flap and a zipper to offer relative security. I've ended up buying a very cheap Army surplus bag as a stop gap but could really do with any suggestions of anything anyone else has thats proved useful.
BTW - If it makes me look like Jack Bauer then thats OK, I can live with that, but I'd rather not look like a lycra clad 'extreme' bike courier as people will be more likely to punch me! 😀
