D70 in a bag photos

[paulr70]

I've noticed alot people (including myself) asking about camera bags for the D70. Some people have photographed their D70 inside a bag with lenses,etc. I was thinking of putting together a website listing all these as theyre really hard to find on this forum. I think it would be useful to all.

So If you can post them here along with perhaps a brief description of the bag name and the contents , I'll put something together.

thanks

yes any details/comments would be helpful.

I'll catagorise the bags into manufacturer and have a page for each bag.

thanks

Paul,

A common answer to the question: what bag allows the D70 with 70-200VR or 70-200VR & TC1.4EII mounted vertically - is the Bob Krist Camera Bag from L.L.Bean.

Here is a kind chap modelling the beast:

Here are a couple of reviews:

The L.L.Bean link:

Still can't decide myself about this bag ;-)

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I posted this a few days ago in another thread... but I'll put it here again incase it will help others... ;-)

I have a Crumpler Stamp Claimer which I originally bought for my Coolpix 4500 & accessories - it just fits the D70 with the kit lens & hood attached... It also fits the D70 with a 70-210 F4-5.6 lens attached, although this is about the max lens lenght it will fit (the 70-210 is about 11cm long when attached).

In the second & third pics you can see how I've put the divider, I can also put a few extra bits & pieces down the side (the lens hood if its off for example). In the front pocket is a spare battery, CF card, blower etc. I've also stuck a bit of extra foam at the bottom to provide a 'softer' base for the bottom of the lens - probably not required but I put it there anyway (makes me feel safer).

Next time i'd probably get the next size up since the D70 won't fit in this bag with a bigger/longer lens or with a tripod plate attached - but it does fit perfectly and is a nice small bag. The Crumpler bags are very well made and extremely 'solid'. All the walls are quite thickly padded and I'd say that you could throw this bag around with the camera in it and have no problems whatsoever (no I'm not going to test it though!).

I got my nikon "gadget bag" (model number 9827NCP) at the camera shop where I got my n65, it's an excellent bag and all of my equipment fits in nicely. It came with a "nikon guide to photography" and a 58mm UV filter. Everything fits in nice and snug because of the dividers. Speaking of which, it comes with a TON of dividers, and they're all velcro so they are very flexible.

ok here you go Paul

From Lower Pro website:
Omni Trekker:
unique removable/hideaway backpack harness

front and top zippers for access to gear even when the Omni Trekker bag is in the hard case removable tripod straps

includes rugged metal hardware, a reverse-open lid, laminated mesh pockets, a padded, contoured shoulder strap and fully customizable interior

My Take on the bag:

I find this bag/brief to be very suitable for my purposes, one bag carries all. Keep in mind that if filled completely, it is alot of weight to haul around for an entire day. Even though the hidden backpack straps are well designed, the bag is not proportioned as a normal backpack is, therefore you are limited in shoulder movement while it is strapped on your back. As an example, I used this for one solid day 6AM to 12AM throughout Washington DC. The temperature was in the high 90°(F) and by the end of a long day of walking my back was sore. I have used it in this capacity several times on shorter duration trips with no problems. Overall an excellent bag with many pockets, zippers, and fully customizable! While wearing as a briefcase, the top zipper allows for easy removal of a 1, or 2 bodies with lenes attached.(dependant on the size of the lens of course : )



From Front Left, working clockwise.
Nikon N80 Body, no lens.
Many Cokin "P" Filters
Nikkor 18-70mm Lens
Small spot for Polarizer Filters
Tamron 28-300mm

Misc Compartment, Cokin "P" hood, adapter rings, step up/down rings,spare battery, misc.
another misc compartment, Silica bag, small table top tripod, etc.
SB-800 in its own bag, with filters and stand
Nikon D70 body with Nikkor 70-200mm VR lens

Above are misc pockets for cleaning supplies, Cable shutter release (For N80) a few good books etc.



A view of the top panel that opens up for removal of components. There is also a zippered pocket on the reverse side in which you can keep many things such as CF cards, cloths, spare battery,generally things I want quick access to.

great idea- does anyone use a smaller bag for light traveling??

I'm mainly posting in this thread so that I can find it again when I have pictures to add. I have a small Tamrac Digital Zoom 3 (5683) that I will post pictures of when I get as soon as I get a chance. I also have a Crumpler Farmer's Double on order so all you students out there looking for a backpack for camera/laptop/books will now know whether or not this is the bag for you!

[christiand]

have a look at this:

http://www.lowepro.com/pages/series/express/ex160.htm

I carry the D70 with the kit lens and a flash (old Metz 32CT4) inside this bag. Instead of the flash I might be able to carry the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED. However I haven't got that lens and haven't tried myself. There are also little zippers and flat pouches etc on the bag. You can carry it around your neck or put it on your belt.

Hope this helps.
Christian

 

[CyberHugger]

I don't have the EX160 bag from Lowepro but did look at it at a camera store. The sales guy even pulled out a D70 w/ kit lens, an SB-800 flash and another lens so we could check to see if it would all fit. Seemed to work fine and there was still room for another lens or for the charger.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for putting it together. I have a small suggestion. How about a section which you can list what bags you wanna see most?

I'm interested in:

Kata C-58
Tenba D-10, P839

Thanks.
