Post your camera bags !
what are the pro's and cons of it ?
suggest any bags that are worth mentioning
i was about to buy the pricy 250 everyday messenger bag .. untill i found out i had to pay arround 80 euro extra taxes for it , to ship it too belgium . fuck that
>pic related
Lowepro Streetline looks like a Peak Design clone, and it's cheaper.
I messed around with the Peak Design bag the other day, and it's actually pretty cool, and different from any other bag I've seen. The material is really thin and stiff, and that means the whole bag is really slim from the outside. It looks like a mirrorless bag, but you open it up and there's room for a DSLR.
I didn't really think it seemed like it'd be great to use, though. The ergonomics and organization were pretty much the same as any old Lowe or Tamrac bag or whatever, and the flap seems like it'd be a pain to work with because the heavy metal clasp makes it want to fall down all the time. It's probably the coolest bag out there right now for a casual urban shooter, sort of the men's equivalent of a Jill-E bag or whatever, but can't compete with Think Tank for serious use.
I have the lowepro pro runner aw 450. Very big and heavy bag. Not the best for the all day caring around. But for shootings or if you going to one spot you can carry a lots of fucking stuff in them. All my gear + laptop and tablet fits in there. Really good build quality this lowepro bags but not the cheapest
>>2787315
>everyday messenger bag
Mine's sitting at my feet. Pretty great bag. A little "stiff" but hopefully it will relax with use.
Any bag is a camera bag if you put a camera inside of it.
Bunningham Hadley Small, been through lots of bags but this is definitely my favourite so far.
That nigga is going to drop one of those lenses.
>>2787366
They're actually on a clip thingy that Peak makes.
Timbuk2 Snoop Small.
Fits dslr with one lens fixed + two extras, 13" laptop + power cable.
>Waterproof
>Can remove divider insert if you like.
>Looks boring & small enough not to be a camera or laptop bag.
>£60

Because nobody mentioned it yet.
Pelican 1510 for most use - Fstopgear Ando 13 for fun personal stuff.
>>2787431
I use a Pelican 1510 for my job, it is a beast of a case. It's full of tools (normal and specialized) and other equipment, over 30kg worth and I regularly take it into heavy industrial environment.
That thing can take a beating from both the inside and outside.
This thing guy I found off Amazon. Very small but it holds my D5500 with 50mm attached, Tamron 70-300, caps, charger, polarizer in case, and lens wipe. It's the perfect size for that stuff and easy to swing around for lens swapping. But the small size means I can't always take my shotgun mic, kit lens, or smart extension tubes. I bought this bag when I only had the body, kit lens, and Tamron. Thinking of getting an insert for my messenger bag to allow me to carry more at once. Not my personal pic, pulled from Amazon.
Man what is an affordable model/bag that I could place a disassembled 4x5 in?
>>2787484
I'd suggest a Pelican case with custom cut sponge inserts.
>>2787496
Is a Pelican case comfortable to carry on my back, or on a hike?
>>2787501
No. But neither is a 4x5. You carry it in hand or by a harness if such a thing exists.
Just bring your DSLR for those Ansel Adams trips and leave the 4x5 for places accessible by car.
>>2787503
The issue is that I don't have a car and I'm not one of those posh fuckers who can afford uber. I shoot x-ray to make the 4x5 affordable. It would be nice to be able to strap the thing to my back and bike to a friend's house, or into a ntnl park
If your gear is 'basic', this one might fit and it's perfect about everything.
Planing another backpack because fucking 80-200 AF-S and D810 huge as fuck...
>>2787532
>don't have a car
Get a job doofus, then buy a used station wagon or estate or whatever you call them mom's cars where you live. It should be cheap and get your gear anywhere. /o/ will help.
Face it, a 4x5 is not the kind of camera you can backpack on your bike.
>>2787537
>get a job
I have a job that pays above minimum wage, and live in my own apartment, thanks. Cars are unaffordable for me, nonetheless. Not every person<30 has landed a 60k annual salary job and can just buy motor vehicles frivolously. I live in a desirable big city where owning a car would be completely out of the question monetarily.
>>2787560
Then stop fucking complaining.
>>2787424
Gross.
>>2787581
I'm not complaining, I'm trying to solicit a realistic recommendation. Ansel Adams must have managed it a certain way, and I refuse to believe that there are absolutely no bags out there that would facilitate carrying a disassembled 4x5. I asked for advice, and your response was "You're asking for something that doesn't exist, get a job." If you don't have an answer, don't fucking say anything, instead of trying to smugly dismiss me.
What is wrong with a backpack? I just throw 2 lenses where the cup holders are and I can carry lunch with me.
>>2787612
Yes, he hired mules and had assistance moving his gear.
>>2787612
>>2787635
And guess what else he had... a car. An estate.
He was also a pedophile but that's another story.

As I have no clue what the britbong portion of that means, I'm just going to say I'm not upset, just confused.
Also, what's this deal with AA being a pedo? A google search didn't find me anything.
>>2787647
He was sued for having sex with a minor at some point.
>>2787649
How much of a minor? 17 is a world of difference from 12.
No he wasnt
>>2787647
He's lying
>>2787536
Have the exact one,
its nice and tight, no extra pockets you dont need,
its nice
Crumpler 6 million dollar home
Pro: found it at Goodwill for $8. new.
Con: shoulder gets sore if I'm carrying it around all day. Figure I should try some actual exercise one day to remedy that.

How many people with expensive camera bags do you think even open them to use?
>>2788149
>le poorfag who thinks owning expensive gear doesn't make you a photographer meme.
Is owning a 200 dollar bag to carry sensitive equipment a poser thing to do now? Well maybe we should all carry our cameras in plastic bags now because that's what photographers do!
>>2788154
Pelican case or nothing, faghorn

This Bravo Delta Bag
Prob the bag that has the most fuccboi aesthetics so people can't pass it off as a camera bag but
>pic related
says it all it can do
$300 is pretty shit though since theres no raincover or store for more hiking but I enjoy it for day to day setups and urban exploring
small Lowepro format 140 for my tiny pentax q
nice little pockets for lens caps and batteries
enough space left over for 3 or so lenses. though I honest don't need more than 2 desu
i use a kanken with foam photo insert
>>2787360
Thinking of getting one too, but can it be use as a causal carrying bag?
A gymsack with a cheap insert, paid 10EUR for both and it works like a charm. I use this one for work and everyday carry.
I got a Jack Wolfskin ACS Photo Pack Pro for smaller tours and a Fjällräven Kajka 75 with the same insert as before for bigger tours. My large format camera has it's own carrying handle.
I don't get how you guys pay hundredths and hundredths of dollars for an ugly bag that screams camera gear from a mile away. But maybe I'm just too poor to understand or my neighborhood is too ghetto for me to not care.
>>2787532
roadrunner americano. spendy, but cheaper than a car.
I had some hard time to find a small backpack that fits a 70-200 that must not be mounted on camera.
Finally I came across the Lowepro Flipside Sport 15L AW, yes, a dumb name for a good backpack which is about 120 bucks. With my configuration of the partitions it fits 1 camera with a mounted standard lens, 2 additional standard lenses, 1 telephoto lens, 1 flash and other accessory, 1 tripod can be attached on the outside.
The backpack opens from the back, still practical since with its waistbelt you can bring the backpack forward and access your stuff as it would be stored in a vendor's tray.
There are the sizes 10,15, 20 liter, I suppose 20L are too large to still be stable enough for the vendor's tray access.
Pic is related, I just pulled some from the internet. Feel free to ask if you want to know more.

What made you post this again after 9 minutes?

Congrats, you can now roleplay as an armadillo when you get attacked and beat up for being such a gigantic faggot
>>2788774
Not available anymore, sadly.
I like the new Earth Explorer series though, the desert color is much nicer than these grey-beige.
Also the product photos don't give much for these bags, if you pack it with normal stuff, lenses, camera etc... it looks much less like a brick, unlike in the photos.
>>2788775
It's just a backpack nigga. Don't be so cucked.
>>2788778
Let me guess, you're a Sony user, right?
>>2788797
I only know one person who answers to any Sony claim by using Canon. And that one is the same Sony shill who posts Fuji vs Sony samefag fake arguments.
I don't believe you, I don't believe you actually bought that bag and I definitely don't believe you do actual photography.
>>2787786
Hell yeah, Domke master race reporting in. Love my bag, it is like a Tardis given how much you can squeeze in.
>>2787612
What do you mean by disassembled, like a view camera torn apart, or a field camera with the lens out?
I use a field camera and just put it in my backpack, wrapped in a towel that also doubles as focusing cloth.
What I know people do with view cameras is to use pelican cases or similar, with sponge cutouts like an anon suggested, and then just put the whole thing in a large enough backpack.
It should be no trouble to hike or bike with a 4x5.

Sure, why not? You could use it without the insert if you wanted.
>>2789242
Why does a shitty bag cost so much? I don't see that the material is some special sturdy or whatever supermaterial, why that high cost?
I can agree for a Pelican case to cost much, or a waterproof sturdy field rucksack but not this. Why?
>>2789251
muh leica bag
>>2787536
Damn I like this bag.
How much?
Ortlieb Aqua Cam 7 liters
Pros:
Airtight.
Waterproof.
Room enough for a 70-300 lens standing upright with the hood folded back. + a mirrorless with another lens attached to it.
Cons:
Expensive in north America. It's priced okay if you're European.
I don't think it will fit large DSLRs + many lenses very well. It might, but then there won't be room for many other lenses.

There are Chinese knockoffs of billinghams on ebay for $40ish
Mines pretty well made, got it last spring or summer and still going strong.
>>2789251
Not that guy, but the reason i even consider this bag is because the reputation it gets for durability. Reading some people jad the bag for over ten years and its still holding well together.
Besides
>Kai meme bag
>>2789286
>buying fashion accessories because a youtuber uses one
You should be ashamed
>>2789289
Umm, billingham had an excellent reputation before Kai was even conceived and that post doesn't come close to implying it was bought because of kai. He mentioned it, as a joke.
>>2789289
But then i really dig that design. Some famous people using it is not really a factor i would consider. Its just by chance ive learned he used that bag. I would never get bags that matt granger use. Too bulky
>>2789293
>But then i really dig that design
>i really dig that design

Jesus fucking Christ.
That aside, the billingham is ugly as fucking sin. It's just a fishermans style bag. If you enjoy it, then maybe you should consider moving to Yorkshire or Cornwall and fucking your cousin.

>>2789311
>Not an argument
Who said I wanted to argue.
The bag is ugly as fuck. It's for old racist Englishmen who fish or cuckolded middle aged Englishmen. It's a shit bag and in my opinion it is not worth the price.
>>2789316
I can't deny that.
>>2789318
Is Kai a cuckolded middle aged Englishman?
>>2789318
Thought someone would get this joke too
>turn 360 and walk away
>>2789323
Senpai, I'm sorry ;_; I'll sleep on the joke and come back to it.
>>2787501
Get a pack frame for the Pelican.
>>2787484
I'd look at a frame pack for camping or backpacking they can usually be had cheaply. Throw an insert in it and you can go on all the ansel adams hikes you want
>>2789293
Ya but his hips can handle it
>>2787315
Domke F-2 google it for picture faggot
Pros: you can cram way more in than you'd think
Cons: mine is really old and rather grubby
>>2789251
Obviously you're not just paying for materials; you're paying for design, prestige, warranty/support, name, etc. It's the first camera bag that I've owned which I haven't immediately found at least one annoying design flaw with, so if it lasts for a long time I'm happy with the investment. My previous daily bag was a Think Tank which was nearly as expensive but I was far less happy with, so I have no remorse in spending a bit more to get something I'm actually happy with.
Funny you mention Pelican, because I was far less happy to pay the crazy expensive asking price for mine considering it's just injection molded plastic.

pros: carries my gear (body + 2 lenses + tripod), laptop*, and a change or two of clothes. Perfect for small trips away, or I empty it (apart from camera gear) and it's the perfect hiking/action bag.
*my laptop is pretty slim (windows surface), not sure if you 17" notebook plebs would be able to fit everything - maybe if you went up a size to the whistler 450

you have a lot of gear for someone with so few photos/no good photos
why?
>>2789449
>injection molded plastic
Yes it is but not simply any kind of plastic. That shit can withstand a lot of abuse, doesn't shatter in freezing cold, doesn't deform in under direct sunlight, keeps your stuff cool in hot climate, the mold is very precise, waterproof design and every part of it is designed to last. Not your everyday consumer fashion accessory but an actual tool you can rely on anywhere, any time.
I drag mine through all kinds of nasty industrial places, right next to glowing hot iron furnaces, flying white hot metal sparks and it's still holding together. A few scuffs here and there but keeps my delicate equipment safe.

>That shit can withstand a lot of abuse, doesn't shatter in freezing cold, doesn't deform in under direct sunlight, keeps your stuff cool in hot climate, the mold is very precise, waterproof design and every part of it is designed to last.
How much of that have you actually tested for yourself anon?
Pelican cases are easy to break. They just have a good warranty. Stop falling for the marketing material.
>>2789613
Mine kept together from -20°C to 60°C in the car, those white hot sparks from the iron furnaces are above 1000°C.
I don't think you ever had one or just a cheap chinese copy.

Pelican is for people who can't afford Zarges.
>>2789608
I packed that for a week of pretty dull paid work, of course I don't post any of that stuff here. And if you look closely, you'll see that only about a third of that stuff is actually photo stuff. Also, hi isi, I presume.

>every part of it is designed to last
One of the wheels on mine broke literally the first trip I did with it.
>>2789857
Actually, I used to keep my camera in a diaper bag. It was soft and super padded, and the pockets for bottles were the perfect sizes for lenses.
Plus, no one's ever going to steal a diaper bag.

Recommended belt/"holster" bags that'll fit a mirrorless and a lens?
>>2790078
Jack Wolfskin ACS pro. Fits really nice if you're a tall guy, probably not very good if you're a midget (below 6')
Big enough for a Graflex, two extra lenses and 3 grafmatics, darkcloth + other misc filters & stuff, or a whole DSLR rig + daypack stuffs.
I also have a swedish gas mask bag for a manbag that I use, fits a zoom + two primes for a SLR
Otherwise I personally find messengers/sling bags to be terrible and unergonomic, would not carry anything heavier than a kilogram or so in one tops..

>>2790712

>>2790714
No don't be confused. When I say pocket, I don't mean pants pocket, or jacket pocket, I mean pocket with two straps that go over your shoulders so the pocket can rest on your back, and you can put books, or lunch, or whatever in there. Usually has a few zippers, and a few sub-pockets on there...
>>2790714
I don't know about him, but my A7 is PRETTY MUCH a pocket camera.
>>2790744
That looks fucking unbearable.
>>2790744
My RB67 is PRETTY MUCH a pocket camera. If you disagree you must just have shit pockets.
>>2790745
Nah man, it's snug but comfy and perfectly balanced when you put a lens in your other pocket!
Seriously though, it's uncomfortable as hell and I could only stand while taking the photo thanks to my slim fit faggot jeans.
