the terraclime 50 from lowepro. it fits the camera perfectly with lens attached and when the camera is out the bag can fit into a pocket if you wanted. a great combo for a one camera/lens outing.
how often would you use the latch? put the camera in and then latch it, take the camera out...shoot for awhile...put the camera in, latch it...go home. i also use the terraclime 100 and the found the latch system pretty easy to use after a while.
This bag fits the E-P1 + 20mm + VF-1 perfectly as well. I use it eveyday. The E-P1 + 14-42mm also fits; but, it is a little snugger. How much can you fit into the 100? I have a Terraclime 30 as well, which allows me to carry an additional lens; but, means I need to carry two bags. I just wish they had made the latch longer on these bags. You lose almost half the depth of bag when you latch it.
i can put my 2 rd1s with lenses attached plus another 1 or 2 lenses plus cards, batteries etc into the 100. i use domke inserts.
The latch keeps the gear secure, I didn't get the feeling of security with that latch, I am always in and out of my bag. I prefer either velcro, a zipper or leather straps (i.e. Billingham).
hi guys, thanks for sharing the tip, do you think the G1 + 20mm would squeeze into the terraclime 50? Thanks
Same here. I use inserts and then I can throw the inserts in any bag I own. A Timbuk2 Messenger is my favorite bag because it does well in the weather. Another good cheap option is an old paratrooper bag like this one: Amazon.com: Israeli Paratrooper Shoulder Bag: Clothing I use this when I don't need to carry much. It will still hold a laptop and domke inserts though.
This is the bag I use for my EP1 and zoom kit lens. fits it perfectly: Quantaray QR-W Digital Video Camera Bag (Black/Burgandy Trim) - 441663499-18092025N1 - WolfCamera.com
How is the padding on the Terraclime? I think my Crumpler Bundle bag is a pretty snug fit for my GF1 w/ 20mm, but I'm always looking for something better.
I love Timbuk2 messenger bag as well and am looking forward buying one to carry my GF1 + 20mm + 14-140mm. What's the model of the Domke insert you use for your Timbuk2 when carrying cameras? My concern is that I am actually getting the XS size of Timbuk2 Classic Messenger (I've already had a Small size one and it's a bit too big for me - I'm 5'2" tall...) Considering the size of GF1 kit, I think XSmall is good enough. I'm just not sure where to find a good insert for it since all the inserts I've seen are quite tall and big... Any suggestion is highly appreciated!
i use the small inserts made for the f6 domke bag...but i cut them down and duck tape the tops where the cut was made...looks ugly but it works.
This insert would easily fit inside the xs Timbuk2 bag. Amazon.com: Domke 720-210 FA-210 1 Compartment Insert (Green): Electronics
