Cravar Rana 15 Leather Camera Bag Preview:
As some of you know, the Northeast is experiencing some major cold! Right now, it is 13 degrees with the sun out, and we are still recovering from some major snow. Anyway, I’m still recovering from some back pain (and shoveling did not help), so I probably won’t be stepping foot outside today. Instead, I thought I’d share with all of you this new bag that I recently received from Cravar to review. It is the Rana 15, and it’s the larger sibling of the Rana 10 that I reviewed a while back (the review is here). Keep in mind that this is not my full review of the Rana 15. This is only a preview but the full review will be coming soon. [continue reading…]

Billingham Rucksack 35 Backpack Review:
If you follow my blog, it is no secret that I’ve been a huge fan of Billingham products, and I’ve been using them for a very long time. The truth is, they really know how to make great bags. Recently though, they released two new backpacks. There’s a larger one (which I reviewed) called the Rucksack 25, and it fits quite a lot of stuff. Think DSLR territory or even my Leica SL with its native lenses. Then there is the Rucksack 25, which is what I will be talking about today. This is a nice little backpack, and I imagine a lot of mirrorless or rangefinder users may want a closer look at it. So, let’s begin. [continue reading…]

Billingham 72 vs. 4 Other Billingham Bags:
Today, I’m going to talk a bit more about the new Billingham 72 camera bag. For those interested, I wrote a long review earlier, and it can be found here. Anyway, a reader wanted to know how the new Billingham 72 compares to the M Combination, and the Hadley Small. I was actually going to write up a comparison between the 72, Stowaway Compact, and Stowaway Pola but I figured I might as well just put it all together, and compare all five bags at once.

Billingham 72 Camera Bag Review:
Billingham have been manufacturing camera bags of the highest quality since 1973, and their range of bags have grown significantly since then allowing them to satisfy the demands of many photographers. Recently, they’ve added to their portfolio of bags with the introduction of the Billingham 72. The 72 is currently one of Billingham’s smallest bags, and it is designed for a rangefinder or a mirrorless body with a fixed prime. Quite frankly, I’ve always felt that this is a bag that Billingham needed in their collection, especially with the popularity of mirrorless cameras these days. The Billingham 72 really fits nicely between the Stowaway Series and Hadley Digital in my eyes, and I’ve been especially excited to try it. Thanks to Billingham, I was able to get one in to review. Here are my thoughts on it. [continue reading…]
Gitzo Century Compact Camera Messenger Review:
Gitzo is probably best known for their excellent tripods but for their 100th anniversary, the company has released new bags that should appeal to many photographers. There are three bags total: one backpack, and two messenger style bags. The smallest of these bags is the Gitzo Century Compact Messenger, which is what I am going to talk about today. It’s designed to carry a mirrorless or rangefinder camera with a variety of lenses. Let’s take a closer look. [continue reading…]
