What a nightmare . Okay first off like everyone else i have a closet full and bought more. LOL I think this is the area is when grown men become shoe whores like my lovely wife. I love the girl dearly but she is a shoe whore no question about it and she freely admits it. Well I think we all can take a page from the ladies of this nature and we are bag sluts. I have more bags that i keep tossing into the back of the closet. New system new bags it just seems natural forget the fact you have 10 already they simply are for that other system you just sold. Sound familiar :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Well here we go again new system and new bags . Quiet but I bought three. Let's go over this stupid logic i have . First the list
Mamiya AFD with Back
35
55
80
150
300 and this is a issue it's big
Horseman Sd with lens
Flash and a bunch of crap
Okay bag number one Domke J1 . Well if you take out the rectangle insert and just use the dividers in a half semi circle in the middle i can get the Mamyia lens and back on one side the 300 which is almost 9 inches tall in one of the dividers the 150 in the other in the middle than the horseman standing up on the other side . Cool than put extra lenses on outside padded pockets 35 and 55. Than all the crap. Okay that is the EVERYTHING bag. Heavy bulky and shoulder surgery after 6 months.
Okay Bag number Two . Well most times i don't take everything so now I have a Kata backpack which i really like but it is a daypack called a Dr 465

Now what I like about this bag is I can get all my lenses in the bottom with accesories except for the 300mm which will not fit down there . So now you have a lost puppy to deal with but the 300mm is not a everyday lens . Now in the top i can simple put my Mamiya , lens and back in the top where your lunch or jacket would go. Not very protected but I don't really need that much protection if it is on my back. Now i can get everything in there except the Horseman and 300mm but if I played my cards right I could carry the 300mm in the top and just hand carry the camera. Following me here because I am getting lost . LOL
Now what to do with the Horseman well i also have a little bag called the Domke F803 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/16034-REG/Domke_701_83B_F_803_Camera_Satchel_Black_.html that i took that insert from the J1 remember and stuffed that in there. so now I have a separate Horseman bag to either carry or leave in the car but I get all the Horseman stuff in there and I don't always have to have it with me on my body but have a choice to grab it or not and it is a small bag, so no big deal.
Well if have not noticed the 300mm is still in limbo with this rig with Kata and Domke F803. i have another bag that maybe I can get the Horseman and 300mm in there called the J803. Okay at this point I need a shrink to help me.
Now i have another bag coming that may change all of this a Lowepro Dry -Zone Rover that may get returned but want to see what that brings it looks like I maybe able to get the 300mm in there.
It's easier to spend over 20k for the system than buy these stupid bags:banghead::banghead:
So welcome to bag hell
