Title: Camera bag for Sigma DP Merrills suggestions
Post by: palpman on September 16, 2015, 06:16:47 am

Hi all,

I'm looking for a bag or backpack to carry my DP1/2/3 Merrills + some accessories. Do you have any tips/suggestions?

Thanks!

It *might* be long enough.

Thanks Capital! Do you use this one with the Sigmas?

Hi palpman,

I use the Mirrorless Mover 20, which is the next size down for a m4/3 camera, plus two lenses. But I think it will be too small for three Merrills, especially if you need the DP3M inside.

For my DP2M, I use a "large" point and shoot pouch, I can't tell you the name of the pouch right now, it just large enough to hold it, plus 3 batteries and the charger.

Your application might be better served by the Mirrorless Mover 30. Or perhaps three wraps (for each camera) to place into an existing backpack.

I use a "6 Million Dollar Home" by Crumpler. I have yet to find the perfect bag but it works well to carry my DP2Q and DP3M and could easily carry a third Sigma. I use the center to for the viewfinders and other accessories. I have a love-hate thing with camera bags and seem to go through phases, right now I find backpacks too bulky and prefer shoulder bags but then I have a collection of shoulder bags, backpacks, messengers and it always seems that maybe some where is that perfect bag, or this is just some sort never ending quest..... ;D

I hang them around my neck and find a way to be comfortable ;)
