Thanks for the info and pic. Looks like a nice bag.

Interesting discussion... personally I just put the camera (ebony field) on the tripod and carry it o'er my shoulder. In a small backpack I put whatever film holders I need, and a couple lenses (in lens wraps) Could be way lighter if I got a CF tripod and a lighter head.

Loupe is permanently around my neck if I'm out shooting and an old t shirt does double duty as a viewing cloth and a scarf.

Takes awhile to get used to the weight, but the ease of setup/speed is great. The less complicated the better.

I work in NYC.

check out a Lands End (or similar) canvas tote with either long handles or a shoulder strap

if you have wraps for the lenses and camera..you can just toss everything in and off you go

I can fit a arca swiss model a, lens board, hood, light meter, and a few film holders in a Think tank retrospective 30.
