Fuji 6x7 Camera Bag

[Merg Ross]

I am looking for a small camera bag for my Fuji GW 6x7III. I was thinking of the Domke F-5XB, however it may be a tad small. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I am currently leaning toward the Domke F-6 bag for size. Such decisions are so difficult without an opportunity to feel the product.

I am really enjoying the Fuji 6x7 after years with view cameras. I plan to use it handheld, any suggestions? I have found 400 T-Max to work well in PMK, but am still experimenting.

Thanks again.

I went to REI and bought what they call a personal cooler. It is lightweight, well padded, waterproof, and insulated. All this for $19.50.
My GSW690II fits perfect, along with 3 pro packs of film in the front pocket along with a couple of filters, My light meter fits in the side pocket. I have no connections with REI, I always look for alternative products to use for my hobbies.

Joe, thanks for the idea and link! I'll take a look at the local REI store.

the f-6 inserts are too small, but the camera will fit in the bag without any padding.

tmy-2 is great. i just used xtol, though. never tried pmk...i should pick some up next time i'm at freestyle.

Thanks, I wondered about the inserts.

I like the look with PMK, but have Xtol on hand and will give it a try also.

Thanks for the reference- I just picked one up, and it is perfect for my GW690II kit. And the price was great...

Forgot to mention that I put a small folded hand towel on the bottom just for a little more protection. I put my Fuji lens up on the towel. How do you like your Fuji camera?

Joe, I am checking with REI tomorrow.

I am not new to medium format, my first goes back fifty years. However, much of my work has been with view cameras, or my favorite 6x6, a Rollei SL66, which has been my companion since 1975. The Fuji was purchased last year with the idea of using it as a handheld camera. I am extremely happy with the results and will be taking it to Great Britain next month; hence my interest in a camera bag. The optics are excellent, and handheld I am getting good results. So far, the T-max 400/PMK combination has worked well, and I will soon be trying Pyrocat-HD for comparison, as I continue my testing of the faster films.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

Domke F-2 is an awesome bag.
