Hi there sifus and pros. I've been carrying my small NEX 5R with a small prime lens attached and sometimes another lens in my bag daily coz I take a lot of random shots of random things. Strong addiction to take photos of stuff... lol  Usually I would put the camera and lens in a manfrotto insert (this one :https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71HdQ9dQ6RL._SL1181_.jpg) and put it in my handbag. The problem with that is the insert is too wide causing my bag to become fat and hard to zip. Then I tried using the bag that the insert came with (Manfrotto Allegra 15W) and placing the camera in without the insert (spare lens in neoprene case). The problem with that is I barely have enough space to put my personal everyday carry items that I would have in my handbag. Worse thing is, because the camera body is not protected by anything. the other stuff would scratch the camera body  Can anyone (especially ladies) who carry a camera with them daily recommend something that I can carry both my camera and daily use items inside?. I've look up the internet and those that are recommended are either expensive like Billingham or say "snatch me I'm a camera bag!!" all over. Really do prefer something low profile that looks like an ordinary ladies handbag but still functional and provide enough protection for the camera. Are there such bags in the market? LOL Finding the perfect camera bag  This post has been edited by LightningChan: Feb 26 2018, 02:20 AM |

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Feb 26 2018, 10:54 AM) I use a Billingham Hadley Pro but without the insert so you can think of it as a normal man bag cos I hate the thickness with inserts and cannot stand camera bags I normally keep my camera in a Daiso PU pouch below for some rudimentary protection though I take special care not to throw my bag around lar. When I do carry extra lenses, I keep them in water bottle warmers made from the same material. Cheap and functional. Been carrying this way for a couple years. I only use the insert for photography specific trips. Gambar rujukan: For camera... I have Fuji XT20, XE2, GF7 and GR so it varies but all can fit.  For lenses... The one I got is much shorter. For smaller primes/pancake lense.... can stack them together.  I like the Billingham Hadley! Unfortunately my bank account don't agree I tried putting those RM20 insert into my handbag. It just feels too fat lol. Daiso PU pouch and bottle warmers might be a solution though. Even the Neoprene lens case I use had a hook and belt loop making it bulky. lol. Thanks so much for the suggestion. Now to find a bigger handbag.. haha  |

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Feb 26 2018, 12:55 PM) Peak Design Everday Tote bag would probably be the most ideal for women as an everyday bag type. I like the design of that one.. but the price range is sitting at the Billingham ballpark... Found one cheaper alternative though. From Manfrotto. (https://www.manfrotto.us/manfrotto-manhattan-3-way-shoulder-bag-changer-20-for-dslr-c). A seller in lelong selling for around RM400 ish. |
