[newbiegrapher]

hi, newbie here writing his 1st post n also a newbie to photgraphy .
Just got FZ5 from mscolor but the problem is the bag is quite small if u wanna put the hood adaptor/ lens hood.
Any recommendation for a better bag where u can buy elsewhere?

my recommendation: Stealth Reporter 100 AW..
but it costs a cool $85.. from Cathay
if u wan i haf a bag which i'm not using now.. can fit hood adaptor + lens with some space extra. bought it from HK for about 50+.. small compact bag.. i'll sell it for $30 if u wan..

Got back MS Color and get the 100 AW from them, should be able to get
at $80 or below cos you bought your FZ5 from them.

If you think of keeping the hood adpater on for good,
you can jus buy a Lowepro Bag .
I got a 'Lowepro Rezo 140 AW' from Cathay Photo, int. charged me at ~$35+,
finally only agreed to $33~. Maybe u can get a smaller one '120?, 130?', if u don't intend to buy any TC lens.

If you like a simple bag, Lowepro Nova 1 AW / Nova 2 AW may be one of your option, can be found at Cathay too.

I think Lowepro Topload Zoom 1 is suitable.

how do those bags look like?
any pics on the bags u all are carrying?
just need an affordable bag (budget mayb $35 n below) to contain the cam + lens adaptor + mayb an xtra batt. mayb as wat CSer Ivan suggested that is, a simple bag.
tink tat is the requirements on wat i want to put inside since im just a beginner.
sorry if im long-winded

am using a FZ5 with adapter ring permanently attached

fits well in my Rezo 110 AW ($26 from CP)

Thanks Hash Brown for the pictures. We get a better idea than from the lowepro website. Can you show a picture with the camera stowed?
Looking at it, I don't see much difference between the Rezo 110 and 140...
For me, the smaller the bag, the better...hate all that excess bulk.

Hi,
As recommended, I went to CP to check out the Rezo 110AW and the Nova 1.
The nova one is nice but only if I have alot of lenses to bring around. With priority to keep it small, I finally purchased the Rezo 110AW and used it staright away at the padang..! heh heh
its as the picture shown by Hashbrown..

Abit curious over here .
I have bought the Lowerpro 120AW bag already.
The question is whether do you guys carry just the Lowerpro bag itself or do u guys put the Lowerpro into a bigger bag to carry on ur back.
Thanks for killing my curiousity

hah hah...that's like buying a small car and load it onto a lorry.
of course you carry the bag around by itself. that is the reason why we must buy the bag that serves our needs. I wanted to keep mine light , that is why I bought the smaller one.
The Nova does appeal to me as it seems to have space for tissues, hadnphones, pdas, etc..heh heh..I would have bought it if I do ot already have alot of bags. If I need to bring alot of stuff along, I will put the FZ5 back into its original casing, lose the adpater and UV and put it into a big bag.
