p.1 #1 · Which bag do I need?

In the market for a new gear bag. I have 4 camera bodies and 10 lenses from 70-200 to 10.5 fisheye. I have a LowePro Pro Roller 1 and 2. I would like something big enough for all my gear. I am a big fan of the LowePro's, they are just not big enough.

It is probably not a good idea to keep all my eggs in one basket. I usually load my LowePro Stealth reporter with what I think I am going to need. I still would like a bag that would accommodate everything.

I would appreciate some advice.

How about a really big hard case? A Storm Case 2500 would probably do great. I've seen online you can get them for 150 with the inserts for camera gear.

Sooner or later the realization will hit you: You need them all. Then you find yourself amongst the rest of us bag-a-holics wondering "how did this happen?". But to help you along in this never ending quest it sounds as if a large Pelican, or dare I say two, will suit for the storage problems.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step....

I see we've dislodged you from the fruitless attempts to avoid bag-a-holism. Welcome, John. ...next victim...

p.1 #8 · Which bag do I need?

I thought I'd escaped (see my little note about the perfect bag on page 2 or 3), but alas alack I know I am a bag-a-holic. Having said that I'll admit up front that I need another Pelican 1600 ( could be a gear-a-holic too) and Want a Domke f2. And Christmas is right around the corner.

What do ya'll think of the Tamrac 660 Rolling Studio? I might need to get creative with the dividers, but it looks like it might work. I thought I was the only one with this problem:-)

It will dazzle you for a week or a month then it will be time to move on.

Nah, run a search for "bag-a-holic" & be prepared for a lot of reading.

I'm starting to look at the ThinkTank rollers. They look interesting (thanks a lot BeeMan).
