In your bag 793, Sota
A simple name and a simple bag. This limited edition Billingham has has lovely gear inside. Check it out.
I am called Sota and am based in London. My regular job is quite tedious (i.e. it blows), but these things are a necessity – thankfully, there is photography, for which I favour reliable hardware and prefer to travel light. Billingham is by far my favoured bag maker, and I have amassed a number of their products over the years. Irrational, yes, but everyone *needs* a vice.
On a typical day, you will find, as a minimum, the following items in my bag:
Ilford film (Pan F, FP4+ and HP5+) in a Japan Camera Hunter film case;
Leica MP BP ALC + 50 1.4 ASPH;
Sekonic 308s;
Leica D-Lux 6;
Notebook and pen;
Blower brush; and,
Remote shutter release.
The bag is a Billingham/Pedlars limited edition of the Hadley (small). I am still very much deeply entrenched in film, and hope to embrace digital a little bit more in the near future. In the interim, the Leica D-Lux 6 and my trusty BlackBerry 9780 can fill whatever vacuum exists.

Thanks for sharing your bag with us Sota, very cool stuff. I quite fancy one of those Billingham bags, but I already have about 20 bags!
Check out the 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. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.
Cheers

Wow, that is a tremendous minimalist bag. And the limited edition Billingham is perfect, red and black.
