Alright folks! Mk II of an optimized layout in a standard Leaf Case.
As I stated before, I really prefer to have a body/back/lens mounted but it turns out I must bring my Alpa Max and then I simply have no choice but to deviate from this principle.
This is what it looks like when you open the case.
With no grips the Max becomes totally flat and can rest on top of the standard foam height. The DB is always mounted.
Removing the MAX you can see that in the bottom I have a perfect fit plastic container with lid. A Hasselblad filterholder becomes a divider to the SK 35XL. To the right I have businesscards, another filterholder which contains spare sync cable and soft release. To very right the cable release with easy access.
Now you can see the Alpa optical viewfinder and it is quick to remove the cloth and soft filter bag to reveal the SK 120N and SK72L. A blower is a must.
I can even bring me a spare body in that I put the Alpa TC underneath the SK 72L. In the plastic container I have the big round spiritlevel for the TC that I love using. The forth battery finds its place here and in the tiny leathercover I have 2x quickplates for the Linhof head.
You see the tiny silver-thingy beside the CF card? that's a 100cm physical metre with marked positions for each of the three lenses for critical focus in the field in conjuntion with the 6.5 macroadaptor. Very very handy
There's one thing that most photographers forget....bring your businesscards and a pen with you whereever you go...
This whole package weighs in at exactly 9.3kg. Not too shabby
