[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 822374, member: 53455"] [B]Photo bags[/B] is such a great subject to discuss! :p Over the years, I’ve had extensive experience with bags, starting with a shoulder Domke in the 1980s... Since then, I tried so many! My wife mocks me no end on the subject. I’ve had various models from Kiboko (great and very light), Billingham (so classy!), Manfrotto (basic but well designed), even an ugly but oh-so-practical Hama... and of course the Peak Design I’ve come to reckon are the best for me at this point. Some were backpacks, some were shoulder. Today, aside from the aforementioned Hama I hardly dare being seen with, I still own two Peak Design Everyday backpacks, one 20-liter in Midnight Blue (normal kit) and one 15-liter in Bone (light travel kit), plus one 6-liter Sling, which is the shoulder kind. I tolerate the shoulder-worn Sling because it is very light (will accommodate the 14-30 and the 24-120 Nikkor Z, the Z7 II body goes on a Capture Clip attached to the strap, or can conceivably be stowed inside but it is then a very tight fit), but otherwise my preference goes very definitely to the backpacks, which I can carry without any real problem for hours if need be. The Peak Design backpacks slide around your body almost as easily as a shoulder bag for you to access the contents without having to put the bag down on the ground. I vote backpack ! [B]Screen protectors:[/B] I used to use them on my DSLRs, I never happened to use one on the mirrorless bodies. Don’t know why, really. Maybe I haven’t found one true great product that would enthuse me... [/QUOTE]
