In your bag 373, Adi Soon
Back to the real world after a bellyfull of mince pies and sausage rolls. Time for another bag shot. This one is interesting as it features a very old camera next to a very new camera. I like that. Check it out.

My name is Adi Soon, living in London, but originally from Malaysia. I’ve been into photography for more than 18 years since starting when I was in school. Worked professionally before for a news agency and commercially, but now am working in a job where there is no photography involved. Found out that when photography becomes work, it is no fun any more.

I’ve started being a contributor for a watch review website recently, aBlogtoWatch.com, the internet’s most popular watch blog. I contribute articles, photos and videos and can be found at events where new watches are launched. This is a part time gig, purely done out of passion.

As you can see my kit is both photography and video focused.

Here are the contents.

– Sony NEX 7 with kit lens and Jim Buchanan’s Palm Grip attached.

(This is used for both photo and video.)

-Leica 35mm Summicron (I used this on the NEX 7 for its shallow depth of field, ideal for head and shoulders interview work in video, used to be mounted on my Leica M6)

-Sony RX100 (best compact camera I haver ever owned, and a useful backup to the NEX 7, note the JB designs grip attached)

– Cinevate Trawley video rig. (I use this as a handheld rig, table top tripod or dolly. It is build up in the photo, but can be dismantled and packed away in a small space.

-Zoom H1- (Handheld microphone with lapel mic for video interviews)

– Leica iii and Voigtlander 25mm Skopar (love this little Leica, and I use it when I see something that I want to print in my darkroom, prefer it to the Leica M as its smaller and has a better feel.)

-Meistersinger Singular watch (Swiss made single hand chronograph, beautiful dress watch that sits well when I attend luxury watch events)

– All packed away in a Billingham Hadley Pro.

Thanks or sharing your bag with us Adi. And that is a lovely watch too. I think a lot of camera buffs have an appreciation for a fine watch too. I know I do. Just wish I could afford the damn things.

Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com.
