CP, TCW n K-13 @ Peninsula Area.

Fotographix at Lucky Chinatown.

Should have a few more shops selling paddings also. But some padddings are brand and model specific.

If can, all the better.

You'll know at the instant whether the paddings will fit into the bag and your liking.

Sometimes it might be more worth it to pick up an el cheapo $20 camera bag and reuse the padded inserts from there rather than go buy some brand specific inserts. Imagine your Billingham with Safrotto inserts...

tat's what i going to do. Buy a cheap bag then buy padding and make my own camera bag.

Except that at times, the cheap bag is not able to contain the laptop and its accessories along with the cam and lens and accessories... I am still searching for such a bag.... And I am not talking about tons of lens btw... Just the kit lens and a 50mm prime, along with the Cir-Polariser filter and the blower, lens pen, extra batt, flash and its batts, etc....

You may wish to spend a little more and get a decent messenger bag to go with the inserts. I use a patagonia "critical half mass" bag bought at camper's corner at Capital, plus inserts salvaged from a Safrotto. The resulting bag looks okay, is lighter than crumpler but is as durable. It's fashionable but you can't tell it's a camera bag.

I had the intention to convert my Adidas messenger bag into a camera bag as well.. And I can stop searching for a camera bag like the Stealth Reporter 600 AW, to fit my ibook and lenses plus accessories.

It'll be like a 3 in 1. Padded for camera and ibook. Take out the padding and it's a normal bag.

Now where are those paddings......

CP selling Domke paddings @ $45. Wonder where else sells paddings!!!???? Are paddings generally so expensive? If so guess it's more worthwhile to get a bag.

Domke = Louis Vuitton of the photography world

A fabric satchel which looks like those green sling bags of the 1980s already cost $180! And that comes with 2 little pieces of padding, making the final cost over $200 with the additional padding. And it's big enough to fit maybe 1 body, a lens and small flash.

go with the Safrottos, good value for money. The Lowepros are pretty affordable too.

i just got a free nikon domke look alike
just tat i find the padding a bit not so good.

Fotographix got such paddings or not?

Domke = Louis Vuitton?.. den how about Billingham?...

 

[AReality]

Looking for cheap bags to go with your padding?

Wat about looking for alternative paddings? Any recommendation? Can DIY also...

 

[Golgotha]

i wanna DIY but where got sell such paddings, i dun mind sewing them to specifications..maybe can even MO custom made paddings wahahahahhaha

 

[Terence]

Isnt the cost of custom padding enough to justify the cost of spending $50 on a decent Lowepro?

I find it amazing that some of you folks are quibbling over the savings of a couple of dollars on paddings after spending hundreds or even thousands on your camera gear.

Billingham = Dunhill

I have some experience sewing additional velcros, strengthening paddings and switching torn Domke together.

i will customise some paddings with velcros. but i will firstly need to see what are your needs. PM me if you are interested. (only for those who are not too fussy about workmanships)
