In my photo bag

Lowepro ist gut...hab ich auch :)

super! Meine erste Lowepro-Tasche habe ich mir in den 80ern für meine Canon AE1 Program gekauft und habe sie noch. Die Nova 3 AW ist meine zweite ;-)

Diese Tasche finde ich aber irgendwie praktischer wie meinen Rucksack...ich glaube Du hast mich angefixt. Werd mal morgen nach so einem Teil kucken gehen. Erstaunlich auch daß Dein ganzer Krempel da reinpasst.

Ich kann immer noch nicht glauben, dass Du in der kleinen Tasche soooo viel unterbringst! Respekt! Kann man damit dann auch noch vernünftig arbeiten? Ich meine, muss man da bei einem Objektivwechsel erstmal eine viertel Sunde Pause machen, um alles richtig umzupacken, damit hinterher wieder alles passt? Mir wäre am liebsten ja ein einfacher großer Sack wo ich alles reinpfeffern kann, wenn der Krempel ncht so empfindlich wäre ;-)

Im Gegenteil, Objektivwechsel klappt binnen Sekunden. Ich habe ja die Kamera 'um den Hals' beim Fotografieren, so komme ich an alles andere sofort heran und kann das gewechselte Objektiv sofort wieder wegpacken. Alles ist immer griffbereit, kein Umpacken oder übermäßiges Gewühle. Die Tasche kommt dem 'Hineinpfeffern-Ansatz' noch am nächsten, würde ich sagen :-)

5D ...mmmmmm :)))

28mm
:D

are you pro ?

me, i'm lower pro.. ah ah ah ah ah ah lowepro ok....
sorry for that... :D

LOL @ lower pro. I am not a pro in terms of that I do not earn my living with photography. Nonetheless I have high expectations to myself when it comes to photography. ;-)

;-)

Hey, sieht sehr gut aus! Schöne Ausrüstung!

Dankeschön!

Kriegst Du wirklich alle 5 Objektive da rein??? Ist ja völlig unglaublich...

Doch doch, das geht schon. Es ist sogar noch Platz für ein Sechstes :-)

Da schleppst Du ja nicht wenig - bist aber auch kräftig gebaut ;-)

haha, das kann man wohl sagen, aber die Hüften fungieren gerade hierfür als praktisches Polster :-D :-D

You should be very committed to photography to take always all this stuff with you :-D

(Just trying to pretend that I don't know how committed you are :-D)

thanks for mentioning it :-D

I do appreciate the way you are showing all your gear in your bag. Interesting thopic!
I will be flying to Mexico in few weeks and I need to take my tripod with me, I have my Cullman. Gorgeous tripot, very sturdy, but a bit too big, specially when I have to take three planes to arrive to my sister's home, so I was thinking about a Manfrotto tripod.
How is it with the one you have? I am only planning to take landscapes, so I will just use a wide angle lens. Is this tripod sturdy enough for the 5D?
I also have a lowepro micro trekker 200, and I would love just to perch in my bag without any hassle...
BTW, would you share infor about where you bought it??
Thanks a lot... :)

Thank you, Irma. As for the tripod, I find it sturdy enough for anything up to the 5D with 70-200 f/4 L attached, so it should be ok for your wide angle too. You do have a heavier telephoto lens if I remember correctly and think that at least you would need another ballhead for this while the tripod should still do.

The tripod I bought at a local photo shop in Frankfurt, Photo Besier. But I do buy at www.pixxass.de as well, camera and most of my lenses for instance. I think I bought the bag at Media Markt, they had a special offer at that time.

Thanks a lot for your info!
I'll get me one of those then.

Most of the times I use my 100-400mm with a monopod. It is easy to carry along with the lens, and helps a lot with the weight.

Have a nice afternoon... :)

Photomtion: do you have any ingenius way of attaching your tripod to your bag? I have a Manfrotto 190 and a Nova 1 for my digital, and a Nova 4 for my film kit, but so far I am still carrying the tripod on a strap over my shoulder. Any ideas?

I carry the tripod on a strap over my shoulder too and actually am quite happy with this way of transportation (will post an example photo later). When attached to the bag the tripod would dangle around too much during walks and the weight is not well balanced too...

Update: Now have added the mentioned two photos of me carrying tripod and bag.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting. I've just got myself a Lowepro Nova 1 which I'm really happy with; great design and ease of use.

Do you have a special strap for the tripod too? I find the Nova 1 strap to be excellent (padding and shape) as it doesn't cut into my shoulder - warmer climate here so I usually don't have the protection of extra layers!

I use a comparably small strap that originally came with a Lowepro belt pouch. As I do not use the strap on the belt pouch, I recycled it as my tripod strap :-) A little part of it can be seen on the first photo above (hanging down in front), nothing special, but it does not cut into the shoulder either, at least no trouble with that so far.

Aha... thanks for the fast reply. I shall experiment... :-)

I am back to pick your brains a bit, if I may. :-)

I've bought a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM lens and used it for the first time yesterday. I'm flying to the Baltics on Friday and am working out what to take with me. My other lens is a Canon EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM which fits perfectly in my Lowpro bag with its accessories and is what I'm used to carrying around. The f/4 doesn't fit in the bag so I'd have to carry it in my handbag (which is large enough) as I can't get a larger case in time.

Logistics aside, I'd appreciate your input as to whether you think the f/4 is suited to general sightseeing shots in the hands of an amateur in this context or whether it is better sticking to the devil I know.

PS - I find the tags on your photos very informative, added to the EXIF data you share it is very useful to learn from, thank you.
