I don't think that a billingham would fit within his $100 price budget.
Sorry Skip, I missed that constraint... but wasn't that the previous
questioner, not the latest one? Oh, I am losing track!
Mike, Don't you think they look like camera bags? I do, or at
least maybe I know that many high-end photographers use these
fabulous, leather-trimmed bags for their Leicas or Contax's.
Certainly they are great products with copious amounts of padding.
You can't find better protection. ...But anonomyous? I'm not so
sure.
The dark ones are pretty anonymous... perhaps not the green or sand
coloured ones.
And I like your second opinion about the bag weight. Don't
underestimate the effect. For years in college and after, I carried
a Tenba bag. Ususally with 2 OM bodies and 4-6 lenses. My shoulder
dropped 1" after a few years. Now my back hurts when I carry even a
moderately-loaded bag for more than 2-3 hours. That's why I've gone
to a belt system for long days at Disneyworld, etc. It's really
saved me.
I don't dare change my bags after spending so much money on them :>).
To save my back, I try to carry less (you are quite right about that
of course) and sling the bags over my back.
Chris
