How is your bag organized?

Sunday Go To Meeting bag​

Ready For Prime Time bag​

I can velcro the 12-24mm f/4 to the Slingshot bag with a Lowepro S&F lens case, but have to shoulder the 300mm f/4 in its case if I carry it along.​

Very NICE indeed!!! But, why do you keep the grip off of the D700?

I looked at a D700 two days ago... I will have to continue to wait though.

Organized?

It's not.

I do however carry more than I will ever need...... or know how to use.

I have a lowepro Compuday pack, I have room for my body and four lenses... )Nikon D7000, 18-105AF-s, 50mm 1.8 AF, 28mm 2.8 AI, and 135mm 2.8 AI)... rocket bulb air blower thingy, assorted filters for all lenses (ND, CP, closeup and UV), SB-600 speedlight, radio trigger, battery charger, manuals, a slew of batteries, micro fiber cloth, a point and shoot with Hi-Speed video, a bottle of tums, a bottle of aspirin, 3 granola bars, a bottle of water....and the computer pouch nicely fits a 42" collapsable 5-in-1 reflector.

Best part is my bag just looks like a backpack, not a camera bag. I'm less likely to have to deal with thugs and other unsavory types. Not immune mind you, just less likely.

Very true, but along with the fast glass I carry, I carry something that throws faster lead!

you and me both. But that isn't in my bag. I prefer to have it a bit more accessible than that. And like you, 900fps is faster than any glass I have in the bag.

Ummm... you'll have to narrow that down a bit. Shoulder-bag, back-pack or hard-case?

All of the above, please?!

I'll see what I can do this evening!

I want to pick up a large carrying case because I always have to shuffle things around between bags and setups.

 

[Nubbs]

This is a great thread but all it has done for me is make me want to buy more gear.

Thanx for the posts.

Main Bag; L-R: Nikkor 60mm f2.8D. Underneath is a 50mm 1.4 and a 35mm f2. Next, gripped D700 with mounted Nikkor 24-70 f2.8. Next, 16-35 f4, and SB 800. Bottom right is a Nikkor 70-200 f2.8

This is my back-up bag; L-R: Nikkor 70-300. beolow, SB600 (missing), Gripped D300 (missing) and Nikon F5. In the upper compartment of the bag are a large selection of gel filters & holders, a couple of collapsible reflectors, "rain coat", a few pounds of 'AA' batteries, and a compact reflector umbrella and clamp.

Hard-case with Mamiya 645 AFD, lenses, etc.

You guys should just try to head out the door with camera + 1 lens... leave the bulk at home... and just enjoy shooting sometime. Very liberating.



I can't stand backpacks.. I can open up my Pelican roller faster than get into a backpack. Shoulder bags are great. The Lowepro sling shot like Kundalini's was probably the best compromise I've had even though I sold it later due to lack of use.

My frequent use shoulder bag has three compartments. Center = Camera + 1 lens. An additional lens on each of the two compartments. Its that simple.

Here's mine. Think Tank Retrospective 20
(Taken with an iPhone 4)

D300 gripped with 85 1.8D attached facing down
70-200 2.8 on left side
50mm 1.8D right side with an SB600 in right pocket

Zipper pocket (blue zipper)
1TB Western Digital HD
Extra lens caps

Front pocket:
Think Tank Cable Mgmt 20 filled with
- Paul c Buff CyberSync CST CSRB x2
- 10 Sanyo Eneloop Batteries
- various cables
Eneloop battery charger
Rocket blower
Black Rapid RS5

Still have room for another couple of lenses. When that happens I attach a Think Tank Lightning Fast on the side to hold my flash.

Well can't take a picture because my bag doesn't open horizontally (and stuff is stacked on top of each other). But I'll explain it to the best of my ability.

Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home
Open flap and in the middle is my 7D with 24-105mm connected to it in the center on top. To the right on top is 430EX II flash in the case. Underneath are the hoods for both my main lenses, card reader, shoulder strap, charger. On the left are my 70-200 and 50mm (the telephoto is too long to fit on only top or bottom...so I don't even have the partition on that side). In the front pocket is all manner of extra straps, batteries, cards, manuals, etc...

Everything fits...got room to grow. Hopefully a sigma 70-200 2.8, and a new body.
Bag fits my lifestyle.
I'm 16 and often alone while on shoots and I happen to have a tripod on my back. Not very discreet.
My pocket knife isnt great, but I know that its legal and if I needed to, that things pretty pointy.
I would carry something a little bigger,but I feel if I was caught tresspassing on a photo mission cops would search my bag, and a switchblade inside wouldn't go over well.

Dayum dude you're 16? You got quite a bit of gear man, good on ya.

Since you live in Massachusetts, I would expect quite a lot to not go over well if they found it in your bag. In Texas, I think a 5 1/2" blade is the most you can legally carry (most states are much shorter). That said, I don't carry big knives unless I'm out in the woods - and there, I pretty much only use them for chopping stuff. If I expect to need one, I usually pack my KA-BAR. I do keep a knife/multitool in my camera bag though, in case I have to cut something.
