Looking for a Zone VI field camera bag. Cosmetic flaws overlooked unless it's really unsightly. Rips etc no bueno. They made two sizes IIRC and either would be OK, smaller preferred.. Pics are from an old listing.
Also shopping for a Linhof-style lensboard cut for Copal 1.
PM me if you can help with the bag.
Donated before placing ad.

I don't know how committed you are to the Zone VI specifically, but I have used something like this in the past for my 4x5 Crown Graphic:


These are nice because they are padded and waterproof. You just have to find a model with the right movable dividers.

I also found the cooler bags a good alternative for camera gear (camera, film holders). Like @chuckroast said, they are padded and waterproof. In addition, they are cheap and inconspicuous. And they keep my film cool.

I will keep those in mind but am focused on the Zone VI (pun intended). Have a possible lead. These bags seem to be made of unobtainium so we’ll see. I think something purpose – designed is preferable if I can find it.

Too bad both Calumet and Zone VI are out of business. I was especially surprised by Calumet; if ever a business seemed poised to enter the digital age, it was them. They went down and took Zone VI with them.
