  • It’s a question I get asked a lot! Here is a sneak peak into the tools I use to get the shots and why I picked them. Enjoy!

    The best video on bags, ever! Ralph Gibson used a Leica-M with normal lens for decades! No need for bags! I carry my Leica-M with 50mm or 35mm. A spare roll only occasionally! It's a load off your neck! I'm 80, so being a porter of huge bags, out of question. Being Lazy, never did, except on large paying shoots! Bravo Alan!

    Your setup probably makes more sense than a lot of the other CZcamsrs' "What's In My Camera" videos. A lot of them seem to stack way too many gears for "EDC"

    I would love to hear you speak about your approach to travelling/visiting cities.
    Like how you structure your days, when you go out to take pictures at day/night, how you prepare those trips (or not), wheather you have certain routines or just go with the flow, etc.

    Enjoyment! Excellent mixture of levity and applicability - thank you. And Biz, too. Contentwise, I feel vindicated as for my own choices, except I also carry an extra piece of cloth apart from the lens cloth ... for wiping the body, wiping anything, serving as a substitute mini tripod, ...

    I have a small Roots Flannel series shoulder bag. It can hold my camera (since I use OM-D micro 4/3 cameras) but it will mostly be used as what used to be called a gadget bag, to hold lenses and accessories. As a subscriber I look forward to your videos.

  • @DavidMBanes
    @DavidMBanes Před 3 měsíci +1

    I've gone back to photography as a hobby after a 20 year break and after 8 months settled on a similar setup. I have a 'big' bag that stays at home and has whichever of the X-E4 or X-M1 I am NOT taking out in it, along with a couple of lenses I am NOT taking with me. Then I have my camera/lens and second lens in a much smaller pouch type bag, but mostly the camera will be in my hand. For example I'll take the X-E4 with the 18mm on it and the 15-45mm zoom or I'll take the X-M1 with the TTArtisans 27mm, and the 15-45mm zoom. The pouch has the spare batteries and lens cloth in it. Occasionally I'll put my 35mm f2 in a pocket if I know there are some portrait opportunities on the walk.

    A lens bag, not a camera bag. After running into you on the tube, I took to heart the question "where's your camera". Solid point and slightly embarrassing movement for me. For the remaining two weeks of my UK trip, my camera never saw the inside of my bag until we were back in our lodging for the night. Thanks for the subtle lesson. Running into you to start the trip was definitely a positive.

  • @Bob4golf1
    @Bob4golf1 Před 18 dny

    Alan, for me it's all about the weight. I'm older and have advanced Arthritis in my neck and shoulders so weight becomes a lot more important than size. I like the backpack so I take out anything I don't think I will use and try to get the weight under 10 lbs. Of course, that's just Personal preference and it doesn't bother me that you are wrong (haha).

      Actually the Leica MP is a modern and refined version of the old M6.
      The brand new M6 is basically a Leica MP with a couple of minor tweaks, mainly cosmetics and the big red dot on the front

    I am Italian, I live in Veneto, 20 km from where Bottega Veneta was born a bunch of years before me. Very high end products: your "Camera Bag Arco media" costs like a good camera with a good lens. Having that budget I would probably get a cheaper bag and focus more on some nice lenses (more important than a good camera in my opinion).

    @just_eirik Před 3 měsíci

    Have you tried having two cameras with you, each with a lens attached? No other lenses, just those two. One camera in my hand with a wrist strap for safety, and the other in my messenger bag. It’s so nice to be able to switch lenses without taking the lens off and putting the other on. It’s so nice and easy that I find myself taking photos that I wouldn’t if I had to change lenses the old way. Like when I see a potential shot and I would go “oh but then I’d have to change lenses” in the past, now I just switch cameras real quick.
