forget about getting a bag, you need pelican case, trolley and assistants.

one take care of the bag and trolley, one carry and pass the bodies and lenses for you when you needed.

Pelican case and trolley not cool enough for TS. And nowadays hard to find cool looking assistants as well.

Pelican case can use as a stool, and can mount a fan on trolley as well.

Lol dafuq did i just read?

Ask for recommendation, lens recommended and bought. Then ask for bag recommendation, recommended. Then ask for filter recommendation.

Is there an end?

Edit: removed a crude prediction of what ts will ask to recommend.

Granted, it will keep TS cool, but the important thing is, TS might not find that it looks cool.

Pelican case can use as a stool, and can mount a fan on trolley as well.

Hoya not cool. This one then cool!

Thanks, which filter should I buy?
I bought HOYA HMC, but after each time I clean it with Tiffen lens paper, it got one more scratch on it......
Which filter is easy to clean and not easy to scratch?

Bcos, unless he/she is in a very very very big room, he/she couldn't take portrait shots of his/her model

or he/she need to put his/her models across the street, and communicate to them through walkie talkie before taking that shot

Really love this thread. Interesting.
