Hi, I'm new to UHH. I am really into film but have only done 35mm and 4x5. My newest acquisition is a RB67, and I'm excited about 120. My problem is that I can't find a bag to protect it. It needs to carry the body, 2 backs, and 2 lenses. Any suggestions?

Yup. A big bag.

Yes indeed, a big bag or Pelican case. And if you go down that rabbit hole after more lenses, film backs and viewfinders, a hand truck!

I liked my RB67 too. Mamiya Sekor C lenses are very under appreciated. I'm really glad someone else owns it now though. It's a great studio camera and weight training device.

before you buy new try usedphotopro.com I use them and get like new items. They have many of the bags listed for greatly reduced prices. And no I am not their rep.

I would never ever carry a camera bag. So many of them have logos on them , which advertise " I'm a camera bag, full of cameras and lenses, steal me"

Much better: a good backpack with lots of separate pockets, the main pocket large enough for my Nikon SLR, several lenses, and two point & shoots.

Go to a fabric store and for less than five dollars, they'll cut you a thick foam wedge, rectangular in shape, which matches the exact size of the bottom of the backpack.

So whenever you set it down, there is no impact. Each camera and lens are in separate padded cases.

I just walk around with a Nikon over my shoulder on an Optech padded strap (Long enough to go from deltoid to rib cage, nothing hanging on my neck)
And my point-and-shoot on my hip, in a zipped up case, also holding credit cards & cash.

Nothing in my pockets. If you're touring by car or bus or boat, The backpack will carry all your gear for the day, plus a water bottle and food, light jacket

Now: for going on the plane, the backpack goes inside my carry-on roll-on duffel, which gets zipped up and locked.

So: cameras and lenses in separate padded cases, in a backpack with a foam cushion on the bottom, & the backpack goes on the plane inside a rolling carry-on duffel

What kind of point and shoot?

A very padded backpack.

That's a beast of a camera, you will develop some large biceps but it spits out some nice negatives.

First was a Canon Power Shot A590IS In 2009, takes terrific pictures.

I replaced that with the Power Shot A1300 in 2012, only because it was wider 28 mm versus 38 at the wide end

I just upgraded that to a Panasonic ZS 50, which to my dismay took richer colored pictures as tested versus the 1300 on scenery.

I had hoped it wouldn't be better than the 1300 which is smaller and lighter, easier to carry around all day In my hip case.

All that said, I'll be selling the Power Shot 590 in as new condition with all cables , cords , manual & original box for $72

All these cameras have viewfinders, which to me is an absolute must. When you're outside in good light, the sunlight blows out your image on the screen and you can't see to compose.

I must have a viewfinder to look through, And I'm sorry That Canon seems to have abandoned them on the G series

My wallet, cash, and credit cards are always in my front pants pocket.

Wow, a great but big camera. Get a caddie.

I used to have a Pentax 6x7, also big!

Those 6x7cm Negatives and Transparencies are fantastic!
