In your bag 889, Joao de Medeiros
Wow, what a bag we have for you today. Not only is the bag gorgeous, but the cameras are pretty special too. Come and check it out.
Hi Bellamy! I really want to thank you. Some time ago you helped me with info about the amazing Konica Instant Press. Since then I’ve been shooting with it along with my film/digital cameras. Last couple years have been all about weddings since I stop teaching Visual Arts.
I love small cameras, and they’ve been with me since my first Olympus OM1 and OM4 in college years. Now I carry a Sony A7 with a voigtlander close adapter and some little lenses. I took your advice and bought two of your top 10 lenses, the Zeiss ZM 35 f2 and the Voigtlander 50mm f 1.5. They go along with the exotic 35mm f 1.2. All amazing!
My other system, Alpha, coexists in film and digital thanks to a Minolta Alpha/Dynax/Maxxum 7 and Sony a99 (both quite compact in their class) and a full set of good lenses from Sigma and a nikkor 50mm f 1.2 specially adapted by David from Leitax. Normally I carry them on a Leather Brixton ONA bag or a Tenba DNA11.
I’ve been stocking my favorite film lately, FP-3000b, it’s a shame no one tries to replicate it. I have enough stock for one year maybe two, meanwhile i’m trying to adapt to FP color. Shooting with the Konica and FP-3000 is sheer pleasure and the results are unique. I love Portraits with this combination…. Once again thank you, keep up with your amazing work.
Unfortunately I had to take this photo with an old Olympus PEN. Hope it does the trick.

Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.
Cheers
