Lugging a 8x10 Kodak 2D around

[Vaughn]

Since I tend to carry my 8x10 away from the car a great distance, I find a front-loading pack to be very good...I like MEI...

I have a cheap camera backpack, about 15 Euros from a dutch dealer on german ebay. With all the inserts taken out, it fits my Eastman 2D perfectly. There is room for a spot meter and a cloth. The front compartment holds three film holders comfortably. If neccessary, I strap the extension rail to the outside. It works fine, even for longer hikes. I know I shouldn't, but I usually store the camera in the backpack.

I carry my 2D in an old carry-on suitcase that has wheels on it. It's not ideal, but it's adequate for my purposes.

My 2d in camera back pack with dividers taken out. Works perfect.

For short distances like that I use a canvas tote "teacher bag" for my 8x10 camera. In the winter, I use a sled. For long trips in the woods, I prefer my 4x5 as tripod, film holders, etc.. all weight much less and take less space, and I can't enlarge 8x10 negatives.

Gator Bags work pretty well, about $45 for a 15x18x6.5" bag

I just realized how worn my 2D looks. Yours is beautiful!

Westen is reported to have said something like: "Anything more than 100 yards away from the car just isn't that interesting."

I purchased a rolling suitcase/backpack from IKEA to carry my 2D around in the city. It fits the camera folded up and four holders, plus things like cable release and black t-shirt for dark cloth.
