Camera people – what bags do you love?

categorized:

published / updated

I now have a beautiful new digital mirrorless camera + gorgeous telephoto lens to take on adventures! But I cannot willingly do so without a protective case.

What I’d like is a very lightweight sling or messenger style bag that lets me keep my camera assembled, so I can easily pull it out and then pop it back in depending on terrain, transit, weather, etc. Something that doesn’t look too high tech would be nice, but I definitely am more worried about padding, weatherproofing, etc. than looks. If it’s big enough to also carry some sketching supplies, that’s a win, but not my first concern.

I’m gonna try and hit up some camera shops downtown in a week or two to fulfill this quest.

My partner has a weatherproof sling/crossbody bag that also carries his skateboard, very similar to this newer model I found, which is an amazingly targeted piece of equipment that also fits his camera! I’m pretty sure he could use the skateboard bits to carry a tripod instead, which is just old fashioned good design in my books.

Anyways, what have you found, what do you love, what do you recommend keeping an eye out for?

thanks!
