How do you carry your MF cameras?

Gerry M · Jul 4, 2011

For ETRSi & 3 lenses/2backs/2finders, I use a LowePro Slingshot 200. For Mamiya 7 and/or Rolleicord Vb plus acc, a LowePro Slingshot 100 to the site and then Op Tech Pro for the Bronica and a custom made (no stretch) strap for the Vb. For Zenobia 645 a Rapid type sling.

I guess I'll go with the optec. I'm just not comfortable with the lens pointing down, looks like it's gonna fall.

I carry Pentax 6x7 with Op/Tech strap. Feels comfy.

My Lubitel 166 gets carried around in a small zip-up pouch and my Century Graphic is carried by the strap on it or put in a small backpack I have.

For my Rolleiflex, I use either the Six Million Dollar Home (each time I have room/want to carry the extra weight) so that I can have all the accessories, or the Nova Micro with a limited set of accessories. The camera itself hangs on a Nikon strap.

The 'blad is hanging on a Nikon strap, I have no dedicated bag at the moment.

Hasselblad please.

Trond · Jul 5, 2011

I use an Op/Tech strap with my Bronica S2A.

Unless i’m shooting a wedding or something like that. I just hold on to it. I actually find that the 500cm sits in my hand very comfortably. i hold it with my right hand, and focus with my left.

I have an OpTech Pro strap for my Mamiya C330S, but I usually use the camera on a tripod. The short lug straps snapped together are very handy for carrying the camera here and there when I'm shooting a lot in a specific location.

I use several different brands of neoprene padded straps. But always on my shoulder, never around my neck.

Sirius Glass · Jul 5, 2011

When I am shooting I use the neck strap for the Hasselblad. The lens points down. The rest of the time it is with the lenses in a backpack.

The RB67 just chills in my Lowepro backpack until I need to use it.

David Henderson · Jul 18, 2011

In a shoulder-bag with easy top entry so I can work quickly without putting the bag down if I need to. I never carry a camera round my neck , nor do I use backpacks. I replace all my bag straps with Op/Tech.

One Nettar in each jacket pocket. Colour and black and white to go.

I use a Maxpedition Fatboy to carry my Fuji GF670. It fits my camera, hood, rolls and my pistol.

Wow. When someone makes fun of me for using film, I just flip them off.

Left hand grip (Mamiya 1000s), I don't like 4lbs around my neck, so neck strap is not my cup of tea

How do you carry your MF cameras?

I carry my medium format camera in a hard case.

When I am holding the camera, I secure it with a wrist strap.

chrismasonstearns · Jul 19, 2011

I found an old ammo bag at a military surplus shop. It looks like a small courier bag made out of heavy canvas, with a fold-over flap, and dividers inside. It is the perfect size for the Hasselblad (or Rolleicord), an extra lens, a light meter, and a bag of film. It was $4. Also, it doesn't scream 'camera bag' when people look at it, which I like.

On the other hand, it might scream 'man purse'...

LOL! Man Purse...

JessicaDittmer · Jul 20, 2011

I like some style...more the purses that are fitted for carrying cameras so you wouldn't know it is a camera bag at all. fine for a rolleicord and another smaller camera, meter and film but ...never been fully happy with anything yet for the hassy. That is something I'm still trying to figure out without carry luggage! LOL!

Thomas Bertilsson · Jul 20, 2011

Hasselblad on a Berlebach tripod or an original Hasselblad strap around my neck, or I just hold it in my hand.

Fuji GA645i in an original strap around my shoulder. (Thanks, Max!)

EricO · Jul 20, 2011

I have a wide Mamiya strap (expensive) and even though it makes the camera heavier I like having the Metz - Grip-type flash. The left hand grip along with the strap makes this camera relatively easy to carry.

Funny! You must have an RB/RZ.
