I Went to France for a Week - Here's What I Packed in My Camera Bag

I recently picked up this Think Tank camera bag for my trip to France.

I spent two days in Paris and 5 days in the southern countryside. It was absolutely stunning and I'm so excited to one day go back. I was so happy with how perfectly this bag worked for me, I decided to do a standalone video on it.
I was able to pack my workhorse digital full frame camera, the Panasonic S1H, along with my 35mm film camera, the Canon AE-1. I could fit both camera bodies, two lenses, two extra rolls of film, and my charger. The hidden back zipper also allowed me to safely store my passport, phone, and wallet to avoid pickpockets. And with all that camera gear, I kind of stuck out like a sore thumb looking like a tourist, so I was prime picking for thieves. Luckily, I had no issues, and the bag kept all my belongings very safe!
I hope you enjoyed this video, some of the pictures I shared from the trip, and my review of the camera bag. Think Tank makes awesome products, and I was excited to share this one with you all.

exactly the video I was looking for, thank you!

Thanks. You've got some nice compositions there, but I agree that there's so much grain in some cases (to the point where it's a distraction), plus the DR is pushed a bit hard. If you want more control over your images, you need to develop/print them yourself. Color's a lot harder to do with film, but if you've yet to read Ansel's "trilogy" (The Camera, The Negative, and The Print), I'd so so, plus I'd recommend Bruce Barnbaum's The Art of Photography and The Essence of Photography (he shoots film for B&W but digital for color), as there are many great ideas in those books for extracting the most potential out of the medium. Ansel provides a great foundation but some of the materials he used are no longer available (that's where Bruce comes in--he also has some innovative "non-standard" techniques to extract huge DR). Re gear, I'm heading to France later this year as well and will be packing my Lumix G9, G9 II (and maybe GX85), plus six lenses covering 12-800mm (MFT rocks!). I may use my Lowepro ProTactic 450 for the airplane, but I'll be using my new PD everyday backpack zip 20L for, well, everyday use (the Lowepro's way too big, especially for urban use, and obviously a camera bag). My extensive research has failed to find a sling bag with a large enough camera compartment (why do they insist on dividing up the already limited space with a fixed barrier?)!

Why you picked the bigger version vs the smaller one

[@owhale]

actually this is the smaller one (8 liters).

@@owhale You sure it 's not the 10? You link to the 10 in the description.

@@hoozleup haha. I am not the one who uploaded this. see 13:00 the tag says it's 8. no idea why the uploader linked to 10.
