I am constantly looking for the perfect camera bag (this is, you could say, my other addiction ).
A perfect bag combines those features:
- big enough for the set I want to bring (plus some additional room for surprise buys )
- rugged
- protective for the gear inside
- inconspicuous
- low priced
This is very difficult to find. Billingham bags for example offer everything but the last aspect, well, perhaps the second last neither.
And every bag can only perfect for a certain set. A pefect bag for a big DSLR set looks different from one for my Digilux 2, of course.
Just recently I have found a solution for a rather small (and still pretty complete) NEX-set:
That is a "combat bag" which normally is used by the German Army, just in black. The film roll indicates that it is pretty compact.
It is very pleasant to carry around, because it is made out of very rugged canvas and weighs next to nothing.
With some pad inside it protects the gear well and that looks like this:
All that stuff easily fits inside in the present configuration:
And I forgot the small tripod that fits into the front compartment.
And I think nobody would ever expect a camera inside when he sees this bag hanging from my shoulders...

That is another good part. I got it from Amazon.de, for just about €10,-!!

I'm going to get it!

Shipping price is a bit discouraging (22€).... But I've been searching for a bag like this for a long time.
Did you add those paddings or were they all included?

No, there is no padding included. Actually, there is nothing included apart from the bag.
I have so many bags that I have a lot of those pads. And I have bought a padded insert for a Kalahari K-35:

With that one I had enough pads to fill two other bags. This "combat bag" and a messenger bag which is a big bigger and holds two more lenses plus my Digilux 2. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

I would offer to get one for you and send it to you, but since we need to calculate shipping twice, first to my and then to your place, there won't be much difference, I reckon. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Now that you know what it's called, just search eBay for: BW Kampftasche groß
The cheapest one I can find in black is about 24 euros, including shipping. |

Thanks, guys. Dimensions of that bag are 37 x 30 x 15 cm. I guess it's important to be at least 15cm wide, if you're going to add any padding?
I guess I would carry a bit less gear that LucisPictor... |
