I like keeping the lens on the body so it is ready to go in a hurry! Strange Nikon don’t have more ullage in their branded case. I presume a pro DX series camera wouldn’t fit either? I never like using “steal me” straps and cases. I did have an old aluminium camera case that I left just inside the door of my studio. The building had the burglar alarm inside rather than on the outside.The idea being, no one responded to burglar alarms going off anymore, but a mega decibel alarm going off indoors was too painful to stay in there. The perpetrator might grab the nearest looking bit of gear and leg it. The aluminium camera case was full of bricks. In over 25years, no one broke in or stole the case. Still got it somewhere, but it’s probably too heavy for me to lift now! Canvas bags are much better.

When travelling I have an old soft padded bag that holds my kit. The posh cases stay at home under the watchful eye you commented on  This morning I got the new F FO pcu in place - comes with its own sticky stuff on the back - and soldered in to the ribbon cable -  Click here to comment on this image.

An impressive brace. Well done…and quick too! Are you going to get dual belt holsters for them?  Back in the day I tried a chest holster for one body and a hip holster for the other. Was doing some motorsport photography so wanted two bodies/ different lens combos to hand. I spent most of the day either pulling my trousers up or rebuttoning my shirt…not to mention getting a sweaty back. They quickly went in the bin! I hate straps and such….much prefer holding the camera in the hand ( hence my obsession with one camera/lens combo and lightweight).

Straps always get in the way for me - i usually carry the camera on the tips of my fingers, sideways, with my thumb just below the rear control wheel so it is just a matter of swinging my arm up to use the camera. Holding the camera with an arm straight down is least exhausting. That Ebay D850 went for £810 - not bad if it is OK! The only downside to the 850 is that I have had to shell out £45 for a good used SB600 as there is no onboard flash. More things to learn about - life never gets simpler!

Holding the camera with an arm straight down is least exhausting. Never liked using on camera flash…consequently I wasn’t very good at it. I could always see it was artificial light …and that spoilt it for me. Studio strobes, even on location, gave more pleasing light but were a pain to cart about…so I stopped taking those commissions as well.

I have been using flash since you had to stick a replaceable 'one use' bulb in a holder Bouncing the flash produces a more acceptable result than direct which flattens everything.
