Do any of you Ritter 8x10 users have a backpack recommendation?

Hank,

Ask Mike Castles in Dallas. He owns that camera. Sweet camera.

Isn't there an f/64 backpack listed in the For Sale area that holds an 8x10 camera? I thought I saw one recently.

There was . . . and it sold pretty quick.

I have 3 Photobackpacker backpacks. They are excellent.

Which one do you use for your Ritter? Do you have any of the accessories?

RR810+f64 is like nothing on your back both are so light.

Yes, there was an f64 backpack. It now holds my Century Universal. Sorry. Bill

Second the recommendation for the Photobackpacker system. I use two of Bruce's setups, one for my 5x7 and one for the 8x10 and enjoy constantly reconfiguring them as I swap lenses from one camera to another. Very very versatile, comfortable, and quite light especially given how much gear they can carry.

I don't have a Ritter.

I have one for a Wehman 8x10 setup and the other for an Arca Swiss 4x5 system.

The camera cases are nice (although the Wehman does not need one) but I don't use the lens cases. I use a padded fly reel case from Cabelas (Orvis and Fishpond make them also). The Photobackpacker lens cases are nice but take up more room and the cost adds up for multiple lenses.

I do have a Ritter 8x10. I also have an F64 backpack. They go great together. NOTE: I acquired the F64 when I purchased a Zone VI 8x10 camera, so while it works great with the Ritter, I haven't compared it to other backpacks. YMMV

I have a LowePro Super Trekker that holds a Kodak 2-D. Works great. Everything else has to go in another bag though.

Can you also fit some film holders in the f64? In pictures it looks like there is a front compartment that may fit them. I am please that the camera will fold with any of my lenses on it.

I have a LowePro Super Trekker that I use with my KMV but it does not really fit the Ritter 8x10. Very difficult to zip up. The camera is very light but not quite as small as the KMV or many of the wood cameras.
