What's in your bag?

New to me bag

8225089947_0104d2b386_z.jpg
 
One lens: Leica M3 and 35/2.8 Summaron
Two lenses: 50 Summicron + Elmar-C 90mm/4.0
Three lenses: all the above
Extra body: Contax IIIa + Amadeo adaptor for M3 + Sonnar 50 1.5 + W-Nikkor 35/2.5 + all the above.
Mostly the one-lens M3 kit.
 
I know it's just a phase, but I've been leaving all my cameras at home, and shooting with Hipstamatic on my iPod.
 
My M3 with Zeiss Sonnar 50 f/1.5 is always in my bag. Joining it lately has been my Crown Graphic 4x5 with a 6x8 roll film back.

This past week i've picked up a Kodak Retina II and IIa. The Retina II has a messed up frame counter (doesn't bother me) and will be joining the M3. The Retina IIa has a bent focus ring. I need to manufacture a spanner wrench to get the lens out to fix that one. I've already cleaned and rebuilt the rangefinder on it, now just waiting to finish the focus fix so i can calibrate it. Both Retinas have the Schneider Kreuznach 50 f/2 lens, the IIa with a Synchro-Compu, and the II with a Compur-Rapid.

I love Rangefinders!
 
This is what I spent my weekend with. Re-acquainting myself with the Hexar AF as I hadn't shot with it for a while. And, of course, note the film cases! Love these cases.

Nice set!

I presume that's the F-803 from Domke, no?

I was wondering how it sits against your side. Does it sort of wrap around, or does it have a stiff plastic plate at the bottom that makes it a bit rigid and straight?

Will your hassy fit in it along with an M and lens?

Thanks!

Yes that is the model from Domke I believe. There is no stiff plastic, so it does mold to your body a bit. It's also surprisingly small and light. I love the bag.

And yes, the Hassy fits. Just this morning I tried out the Hassy w A12 back and 80/2.8 lens attached, the M6TTL with 35 Cron ASPH attached, and one of the hard film cases and it all fit without being too tight. That leaves the two front pockets for filters, more film, a small lens, etc etc. And two small zippered pockets on the large flap in which I keep spare batteries and 39mm filters generally.

Hope that helps!
 
Where can I find these cases? I have a couple from Japan Camera Hunter, but I could use some of this size as well.

Helped my curiosity, not my wallet!!

Now green, black, or tan....

I basically found them in a Tokyo store and cleaned out most of their supply! Here's all of them in their original boxes.

Oh, I also have 120 film cases, too.
 
Not much has changed in this picture since it was taken (sometimes the Mamiya 6 gets replaced by a TLR, sometimes I even carry both)
