In your bag No: 1256, Erik Bratsberg
Eric brings us a strong bag, all the way from Canada. A bundle of great cameras and a whole boatload of film too. Looks like he needs some convenient contraption to store all of that in…
Hi there JCH!
I’ve been viewing In Your Bag for awhile now, and figured I should contribute to the fun.
This set up I put together for a trip I’m taking to Alberta Canada. More specifically Banff and the surrounding areas, where I’ll be shooting landscapes and Calgary for some city fun.
I’m using a Herschel Supply Co. Heritage bag, which I Macgyver’d into a camera bag to hold my Bronica with also a little space to keep the T2 as needed. I used existing padding I have from some old bags, which wouldn’t be up to the task anymore.
– Bronica SQ-A: Weighs a ton, but is worth it for the images its capable of.
– Contax G1 + 45mm planar f/2. Just got this guy, and am excited to see what the lens many talk about can do.
– Contax T2: Out of all my point and shoots, it’s definitely the most durable and having the option of seeing your shutter speeds and choosing apertures makes it hard to leave at home.
– Kodak Portra 160 and 400
– Notebook
– Pen
– Wallet

Thanks for sharing your bag with us, Eric. That Bronica is a bit of a beast.
Check out the links and please 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. Optimum size is 1500 across. Please ensure there is a bag in the shot, unless you don’t use one. The more you can write about yourself the better, make it appealing and tell us a story.
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

Hi Erik, be sure to take advantage of the light during golden hours in Calgary or Alberta, it’s astounding. Safe travels.
Hey Erik,
Back in May I hiked and photographed the Banff and Lake Louise area with a G2 and 45mm Planar (on fuji across 100). The results were spectacular, the Planar will blow you away. Have a great trip and a sweet setup you have!
Alvin – Most definitely did. The light there was amazing, and there was plenty of it even late into the evening.
Thanks! Really enjoying the G1 + Planar so far. Quite a nice little system. Looking forward to getting the 35mm eventually.
