What's In Your Bag Right Now?

Hi Marcelo,
No issues with my M9 once I changed the memory card and the frame advance option on the M9 to "standard", away from "discrete".

The 35mm/2 V1 is an excellent lens, as you know. I traded off my M2 version but I kept the M3 version with goggles.
 
Wow, there's been some changes in my bag!

First off, the bag changed last week. I became concerned when I heard a 'thunk' on setting down the Tenba DNA 8. Checked the bottom padding ... pounded flat and hard, both on the case bottom and on the camera insert bottom. Not too great ... it's only a little past two years old. It's been relegated to "closet storage duty." Sad, it's a likable bag but when you see something wear out this fast compared to the other bags.

I moved the gear into the Artisan & Artist RRN-01C Sling Bag. Lovely bag to carry and nicely padded, but a bit smaller than the DNA 8. I may pull out the Black Label Bag Walker Evans Day Bag instead ... not that much larger on the outside, but much roomier inside, keep the RRN-01C as purely a shooting bag.

And then ... the Summicron-M 50mm I ordered arrived. So it has temporarily taken over prime spot on the M-D. Paired with it in the bag is the Summilux 35 v2 for the present.

Could you post some info on your newly found terrific camera backpack, John?

Hi Raid. I use this Tamrac backpack. See the third photo.

I see it's not longer offered, but I'm sure they have newer models. I think other companies also have caught onto the value of this side access concept. Just great for the commuter/photographer, I feel.

Mine also perfectly fits my Surface Pro 4.

Fuji XT-1 with 40/2.8 and Ricoh GR. I use a Timbuk2 lightweight backpack with an Ape Case insert. Not a whole lot of padding, but very comfortable and light.
 
(Yes I'm a little bit behind on my reading)

Leica M2-R + Summicron 35/2 V2 loaded with Gold 200. Leica M4 + Summicron 50/2 V1 loaded with Cinestill 800. Gossen Digipro F.

Very rare for me to have color loaded in both cameras.
 
I forgot to mention I use a Courierware bag, which I love, in terms of aesthetics, but I have trouble putting cameras back into the bag quickly and easily when it is on my shoulder.

I like soft bags but I find they suffer from this problem. I might have to change.
 
Df, 35/2, 135/3.5, extra battery, and extra card in bag.

Bag is custom made by me unit.

Lately bringing out FE with 100/2.8 E near at hand.

Thanks for the information, John. Your bag looks large. Isn't it heavy when fully loaded?
 
Raid, his bag is huge. My Lowepro "Super Trekker" is a wee bit smaller and the airlines will not allow me to take it on as a carry on. I said on another thread just last month; that when I bought mine, I forgot to get a mule to carry it loaded. Lol

Your post reminded me of similar purchase. I wanted a big bag, bought a Mountainsmith Parallx. Seems ever time when out I always would find I needed that other lens or the Yashica RF. On my first walk with tripod slung over my shoulder I stopped and went to knees to shoot some wild flowers, dropped tripod, took off back pack and took the photos. Put backpack back on, left tripod on ground to pickup. Started up to knees and fell slowly over backwards just managing to roll on over to side. Luckily no one around LOL! Bag is storage or when working out of truck.

Yep need a caddy:)

My current Kipling camera backpack is tiny. I can barely insert M8 and M9, each with one lens. It is very practical for long walks. Here, I have two M 4/3 cameras with one lens each. When traveling, I take a larger sized camera bag, and I stick this small camera backpack in the camera bag. Then, when taking walks, I use the small backpack.
