Bag for Hasselblad

Magic2007 · May 8, 2014

Hello everyone,
Can someone please recommend a camera bag for my Hasselblad 503cw + 80mm + 1 extra a12 back and a few films?
I have seen a lot of bags the last 3-4 days, but I can't find any "good" Im looking for a compact minimalistic and simple but good quality bag in leather.

Thank you

Billingham 335 would be a good choice.

Crumpler messenger bag, such as the Six and Seven Million Dollar Home. Easy to work out of, configurable, inexpensive.

My Hasselblad is in an older Kiwi bag. Best way to describe it is that it's a bit longer (including the pockets at each end) and a bit narrower than a shoebox. It's the best bag I've found for my Hasselblad and my Hasselblad is the only camera that really fits well in it. The body sits flat on it's base. Body/back/lens plus one additional lens fits in main compartment, 2nd back in one pocket, meter in other pocket.

Minimalistic and simple, but not leather.

Leather is a very poor material for camera bags, it's heavy and gets even heavier when wet, and the chemicals that are used to tan the leather don't do photographic equipment a lot of good.

Original Domke bag. Solid canvas construction that will last for years.

That's what I usually use, it's military grade cotton canvas and breathable.

I like the Tamrac 750 and 752 Super Packs if you can still find them. They load from the top and they have a belt to transfer the weight to the hips.

Thank you for all recommendations i'll search on these bags, benjiboy, I just removed the "leather" word from my bag list you are correct, i didnt think that way.
I like army/military style bags vintage stuff. Thank you.

I have several different bags for my Hassy kit, and which bag I use depends on where I am going and what I am carrying, but most recently I have been using a Tamrac Velocity (7X?) sling pack most often. I have a couple of the MAP lens cases which can attach to the outside of the bag if the load is a bit larger, or go inside if I am not carrying as much. I routinely pack the bag with the body (503CX) two backs, a set of filters, the 80mm and 150mm lenses and 6-10 rolls of film. By rearranging I can add the flash, or a 50mm lens, or both. Lots of versatility, but not the prettiest bag.

I can carry my 503, 4 backs, 80mm, 50mm, 150mm and 250mm lenses, filters, film and a whole bunch of stuff.

I'm using a Domke F2 for my Blad. I'd love leather but it is not practical for me.

I use a Domke F2 in olive drab you can't get much more military than that.

I agree,mine is20 yearsold,has traveled to three continents with me, is easy to access and still looks pretty good;beats the Hasselblad sprofessional suit case I bought for $500 at the same time;much harder to move around and get into a plane.
