In your bag 311, Dave Green
A very nice double bag setup today. Dave comes from Cov, but don’t let that stop you from checking out his fantastic bags.
Hi Bellamy, my name is Dave and I am an amateur photographer from Coventry, UK. I shoot anything and everything, often while on day visits with my family. I would like to get better at ‘street’ photography and portraits.
The first image is my ‘go to’ bag for everyday shooting. This has the Canon EOS 33 with a 50mm f/1.8 attached for 80% of the time. I also have the Canon 28-90 and 75-300. This camera is usually loaded with black and white film…until recently TRI-X but I’ve bought some Fomapan to try with Rodinal developer. The Olympus Trip 35 would be loaded with colour print film, notably the lovely Kodak Portra 160. Also have a Sekonic L358 flash meter and all this is carried in a Domke F6 bag.
If I’m travelling really light it’ll be either just the Canon + 50 or the Trip and a couple of rolls of film.
The second bag is much larger, a Jessops bag that holds my MF gear. I currently have two 645 outfits, a Mamiya 645e and the Bronica ETRS that was given to me by a friend that has gone all digital and knows I’m stuck in the ‘dark ages’ :-).
Film stock is much the same as 35mm…currently TRI-X, HP5+ and Portra 160 for colour. Lenses are 45mm / 80mm for Mamiya and 75mm / 150mm for Bronica. Also in the bag is a small flashgun, the Olympus T20 and ‘poverty wizard’ wireless kit
Both of these shots taken on my new iPad and processed using Snapseed app.
Thanks for allowing me to share :-)
Regards,
Dave

Thanks for sharing your bags with us Dave. That medium format bag is epic, how often do you have to go to the chiropractor?
Check out Dave’s links and make sure you come and comment.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here.
Cheers

What’s the logic behind two MF systems in one bag?
Hiya, thanks for your question. I keep both in the bag and will decide on which I feel like shooting on the day. I may swap one for a different format e.g. Rolleiflex or Mamiya 6/7.
Are you hand holding the circular polarizer and ND filter? That is a nice MF bag, I’m looking into getting a Mamiya 645 too.
Hi Desmond. Ha-ha… the filter holders are in the side pocket. 645 is a good format (not too large or too heavy) that gives a big step-up from 35mm negative. Plenty of cameras out there too. Obviously not as easy to handle but I kind of like using the bigger format :-)
Ive been shooting velvia on 35mm for over 2 years and want to dip my toes into MF and plus the prices for MF here in Tokyo is cheap so what a good time to start.Cheers mate and happy shooting :)
