Accessorizing

November 03, 2005     category: Technojoy

After wresting the new baby from the clutches of the inordinately rule-bound delivery service yesterday, we have begun the search for an appropriate carrying case. Background data: the package we purchased included an inferior small-ish bag that wouldn't hold the thing sans-lens much less with accoutrements and a hard-case. The latter will be delightful for long-term storage but a tad pretentious at the little league game. Hence, the search.

Amazon yielded this beauty:

But, crime in Italy, we're not stalking wildebeest in the veldt, we're taking the occasional artsy fartsy composition piece, and tons of pictures of our kids, cats and that chocolate lump of stupidity currently masquerading as a Labrador Retriever. So, yes, $200 for a camera bag when you could have, oh say, a new lens instead is just not on.

Any recommendations? We're schlepping around several lenses at any given time, along with extra batteries/flash cards, so our needs are not large. Ideally, we'd like something that does not require unloading the entire bag to reach a single item, but realize that the words "useful" and "design" are rarely found in harmonic convergence.

Speaking of...we've run up a little gallery for the D70 pics, over here at Fabrica Imago
