I recently read someone say they carry TWO GW690s with them, to which I have to ask, What bag are you using?
In general, carrying two cameras is ideal, especially when you own too many to choose from. I'll be traveling next month and plan on carrying a Mamiya 645AF and a Fuji GW690ii - but I'd prefer to keep it all in one bag. I'm not crazy about camera backpacks, that just doesn't suit me, and wouldn't work very well carrying in addition to a regular backpack.
Currently, I use a Think Tank Retrospective 20 for my RZ kit, but I don't think it'll handled these two cameras at once. That type of material and style is ideal though, anyone have the Retro 30? Anyone carrying two cameras like this at once, or other multi camera bags you care to discuss?
There is no separate forum for this type of thing, that I could tell, but I love hearing what MF shooters are using for baggage. Anyone have a GW690 (alone) bag suggestion?
Is there still a brick & mortar store in Vermont?
If you can afford it… Pelican (or SKB or Nanuk) wheeled cases have really become my main squeeze lusties. (I'm kinda gay for cases, as my wife points out…)
I much prefer the (more expensive) divider systems over foam though - you can reconfig cases for specific trips quickly.
Once a month or so I do a used case hunt on eBay… lots of military surplus pelican and so on out there.
I had a Billingham 550 which is the biggest one they make Dead Link Removed for more than 20 years but I sold it last year because when I put all my gear in it I couldn't lift it and I replaced it with a Domke F2 which is much lighter, and I resolved to carry much less equipment in future.I can carry three cameras in my Billingham Hadley Pro shoulder bag. The largest load I've carried was my Fuji rangefinders (GF670W, GF670 folder, and Nikon FM2n w/ one lens). That's a fairly heavy load, but with the accessory shoulder pad, I can carry it around all day without complaint. The shoulder pad should be considered mandatory. That makes a huge difference.
