What's in your bag?

[tunalegs]

moleskine..... checked
mechanical watch.... checked
army knife (and i don't think of a handy swiss army knife or a leatherman. i mean the kind of knife with which u can skin squirrels).... checked

still waiting for a book written by haruki murakami, an altoids box and an i-pad.

You forgot to mention the KY jelly.

Haha yes the pic is a real cliche isn't it?!

I don't carry a tactical knife with me, honest.

Yup that's a Paxette, one from my rather large collection!

Allright, I'll kick off then. This is my bag:

Camera's:

• Leica M2, black repaint. Belonged to a German press photographer once. I had it redone in really tough black paint (Thanks, Nobbylon!) and it's totally mine now.
• Leica M4, Banged-Up Edition. A bit rough but it works!
• Ricoh GRD-1. Had if for weeks only but it broke. Gone now. 🙁Loved it for the Tri-Xy look when converting 800 ISO shots to B&W.
• Two nylon Konica straps that came with the AutoReflex T4 camera's and that I really love for their secure steel hooks, single buckle and 12mm width

Lenses:

• Super-Angulon 3.4/21mm and finder. Acquired a set of lenses and sold the others for the buying price: free Super-Angulon!
• Summilux-M 1.4/35mm. Made 1982, it had only seen five, six rolls of film back then and then was shelved by the first owner. I bought this last year after saving for an eternity.
• Summilux-M 1.4/50mm pre-1st version. Made 1958 and serial from before the first batch.
• Jupiter-9 2.0/85mm, prototype with original Zeiss optics, agrees with Leica: set to 83.7mm by the factory. It came with a hand-written passport in Russian, written on that typical 60 yr-old cheap Russian paper.

Various:

• Some IXMOO cassettes in their canisters. Filled with Tri-X or T-max 400 most of the time, but often RolleiRetro 100 or 400S as well. I have a stash of 30 IXMOO's, hehe! Color film used is either rebranded Fuji Superia or Kodak Portra.
• El Cheapo flash GN20 that fits all camera's.
• Gossen Lunasix-3 with detachable semi-spot attachment. Brilliant and accurate exposure meter!
• iPhone 4S with apps like Dev Chart, Simple DoF, VelaClock and the compass. Loads of music and photography documentaries on there too. Forgot to include the head set in the picture.
• Some business cards, some pens.
• Currently reading Curzio Malaparte's 'The Technique of Revolution', a 1931-published book opposing fascism.
• A small Billingham that easily fits all the above. It's still a bit too new-looking for my taste but that'll pass too.

How do you like the Jupiter 9? I've been thinking about one myself...

This is my "no need to switch lenses" kit, just a bit heavy for walking around with all day.

28, 35, and 50mm

I don't carry a bag with me every day. Just a Camera and a lens.

Today I have a Voigtlander 50mm 1.1 on my M9-P. I never seem to use this lens so have forced myself by attaching the beast on to my camera today!
Also have the 1.4x mag on the back with a thumbs-up so I have chance of nailing a shot with the shallow DOF..

Thanks
Rich

You guys are way too observant.
And no, you do not want to know.

Vance, your snaps are impressive.

Added on top of that is just pulled from my car: The Beastie boys anthology, Sounds of science

You rock ! I've got it too (but burned it into mp3)

 

[paulfish4570]

no, the smith and wesson model 10 doesn't ride in my bag. just a visual joke. the knife also does not ride there. it does, however, ride clipped to my right front pocket.
this is a typical load for a weekend visit to see my grandchildren. sometimes i take a third camera, such as my me super, riding by itself. no room in the bag for three cams without dividers. gotta get some.

I bought a Canon EOS M today for a P&S type AF thing, so I guess if I had a bag, that would go in there. I was surprised in the difference in quality to the M9 and decent glass. I knew it would be different, but it's night and day..
Anyway, yes, a new bag entrant!

Wait- It fits in my jeans pocket. No need for a bag still!

50mm 1.1 swapped for Zeiss 1.5 so it's not so bloody massive

Not really a bag, just a pouch. Film stashed in pockets.

Nice Smith. Where are your reloads 😀

 

[LChanyungco]

i don't usually carry a bag but today was grocery day 😀

 

[paulfish4570]

john, six rounds are sufficient for just about any scenario ... 🙂

 

[Therobbstory]

No RF gear, but I frequently toss my R3A and 28/3.5 in there for good measure.

I thought the S&W was your Model Release.

Looking t the size and guessing the weight of the bags there must be many STRONG men around here 😀

My bag weighs only a little more than a Contax G1. But I do lift weights 3x/week. 🙂
