How do you transport your LF?

[magicman]

Hello,

I´m new to this forum, and I like to say hello at first.
HELLO

My first and biggest question is, how do you transport your 4x5 (and larger) system, to use it in nature, on travel or on any other location?

Do you use a backpack or a case, or may be something different?

Some photos of your stuff in the case/backpack or what ever, would be very interessting for me, to let me find a solution too. <- I´m using a Sinar F2.

Many thanks in advance.

Bes regards
Mario

Sinar Expert cases can sometimes be had for bargin prices and are useful in some circumstances.

I drag the P about by it's strap were a garden say has decent paths.



I have a larger expert case for the 10X8 that is mainly for transport/ out of the back of the van



For more practical wondering about I dragg the F around in a Supertrekker



The secret to carrying the F about is finding the manual that tells you how to fold it up over the rail.

All my gear rides in various cases and a backpack on a 3-wheel jogging baby stroller.

For 4x5 and 5x7, I put the lenses and film holders (6) in a small backpack and the camera rides on the tripod on my shoulder. In the car, the camera is in a zip-front padded case. Film holders ride in ammo boxes.

Fairly simple. It holds two lenses in cases (120mm and 150mm or 210mm) and six film holders. The smaller bag holds another 6-8 film holders. The light meter is a Sekonic L-358 with 1-degree spot attachment.

F64 large backpack- holds either an 8X10, one digital SLR, lenses, and accessories or 2 4X5s, one 6X17, one digital SLR, lenses, and accessories. Pretty much any camera and lens that I could possibly want depending on what situations arise.
