I'm new to LF and I just acquired a Zone VI 8x10 (Fred Picker version). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good backpack to carry the necessary equipment around. Thanks.

I use the f.64 BPX backpack for my Tachihara 8x10.
It works very well.

Note that the black version is substantially cheaper than the grey one.
I don't know why.
It includes pockets to hold two 8x10 filmholders.
It also has two detachable pouches that each hold six 4x5 filmholders.

If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
This is what I use.

Comfortable. The detachable daypack holds 5 8x10 holders -- so one does not need to take up internal space for them, but sometimes I'll put a couple inside and carry up to 7 holders total.
That is a Zone VI 8x10 in the pack -- and three lenses, meter and darkcloth above it. It is a travel pack, so one can 'hide' the hip belt and shoulder straps for storage. Comfortable to carry all day.

It is not a "camera pack", so one makes ones own dividers and padding.

I have a Kodak 2D which lives in a 1980s era LowePro Trekker-(something) AW-II backpack. Works for me.
Another bag that works for the 2D is a Pelican soft case with wheels. Don't know the model. It has been long discontinued too.
Haven't bought a camera bag or case beand new in years. Goodwill and other thrift stores often have bags and cases that can be repurposed for just a few dollars.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
