I adopted the bruce gilden method and bought a fishing vest instead. I still use my sling bag but I don't have to completely stuff it to the brim with film and can disperse the weight. Only downside to the fishing vest is the velcro scratching my arm.
I actually went a slightly opposite route. instead of sticking to my trusty camera bag I bought another bag. A non-camera bag! So now I can have all the gimmicks I want from a bag for everyday stuff while keeping to the ol' reliables like you're doing for when I actually do carry camera gear, which is such a great quality of life improvement...
I have 3 bags, one is a sling, fits my 6D with a lens and two other lenses, one small backpack where I fit all my lenses and two cameras, and one that does that plus clothes for the occasional euro trip or upcoming Christmas and new year trip in Mexico City :D but I don't need another now, all bases covered
You should sell them to me at a heavily discounted rate... Lol. But I agree. I never use a camera bag. I have a sling bag that fits a wallet, camera, and some film and thats all I use
I do have a few bags. 2 of them I’ve had for nearly 50 years. A third I got about 10 years ago. My most recent one I got last year. In each bag, I keep a different camera and its ancillary gear. My old Domke bag holds my Toyo 4x5 field camera with 135mm Nikon lens attached, a dark cloth, 5 film holders, cable release, lens cleaning gear, and a pocket flashlight. My WW II vintage US Navy gas mask bag (purchased at an Army-Navy surplus store in San Francisco mid-1970s) holds my Mamiya 6 MF with 50mm f/4 lens attached, a vintage Kodak 120 film case (holds 4 rolls), a filter pouch, and lens cleaning stuff. My old ThinkTank bag holds my Canon 5DS R, with 24-105mm f/4 L lens attached, a nifty fifty f/1.4, a Canon flash, a remote camera release thingy, a couple of spare cards and spare batteries for flash and camera, camera and flash manuals, and lens cleaning gear. My newest ThinkTank is for my I-2. It holds the camera, several boxes of film (mostly B&W), a couple of empty boxes to stash just-shot prints in, a squeeze bulb blower for the lens, the users guide, and a sharpie. I was recently gifted an old OM-1 35mm camera with 35mm lens attached. I have an old Lowe-Pro bag that was also gifted to me many years ago. A match made in heaven! The only other camera gear holder I have is an old Pelican case. It came in really handy holding my two dozen boxes of I-2 film for a recent trip to Tokyo (hand inspected, of course 😉!). That’s it. I like my camera bag system as it’s very easy to grab the bag with the gear I need for the camera I want to use on that outing. When I get home, I restock and clean up and get the bag ready for its next adventure! EZ PZ! 😎
1. You gotta buy a backup of whatever you like and will want a *new* one in 10 years. I support buying the spare bag for the future. 2. This is hilarious because we all have a pile of bags I'm sure. 3. I do think that finding the right bag for you is like dating. You have to try a few out before you find the one. So maybe the pile of bags is inevitable.
I have an Ari Marcopoulos incase bag that's a similar sling style, that I love. It was my daily for years, but I've moved to a smaller Ona bag and a Finisterre for the past few years. Piles of bags... Maybe it depends on what I'm packing for...

You are so GOOD! hahaha! Exactly how I am feeling when I purchased all these gears and bags!!! LOL !

@@OdiumTV I’ve been tempted to do something like this as well
The backpack I have is Timbuk2 Tuck Backpack. For the Polaroid I-2, I have the Spectrum Box Camera Bag.
@@LennyWu I used to have a timbuk2 laptop bag, it was great until my old Honda civic leaked fluid all over it 😆

@@eliseshootsfilm buying backups of camera stuff if underrated! You never know when something will get tough to find!

@@augisanchez it seems that the bag pile is an unavoidable part of being a photographer 😂
"apple puck" 😆😆😆 Ok I'm done
Camera bags, very recognizable experience here too 😅
@@TheLeiPol buying them is weirdly addictive
Love a good zoom in for effect
Brett’s voiceover killed me 😂
@@MattTheMinoltaGuy he was very nice to do that 😆
Every photographer has a whole bunch of bags......they're not something you sell.
I love in case ❤
lmaooo the sony zv-whatever...sure, buy it!
I feel like you’re talking to me nose to nose. Back up man! Haha
