what's you 'old bird's opinion on 'the best camera bag for FZ10/20'? something that we can put the camera while the adaptor (and possbly petal hood) still on, easy to oull the camera out and with pockets for extra stuff, yet not too larger than necessary.
anyone?

psx2sg said:Hey Hongjia, thanks for the suggestion, but do enlighten me on the purpose for:
Must have
1) Phayee adaptor(62mm) / Raynox adaptor(52mm)
This one so that can attached 62mm or 52mm filters or convertor on the FZ depending on which adaptor u buy
2) UV filter (Hoya multicoated more ex / Tokina cheaper alternative)
This one hor, will protect ur lens from scratches and dust. Sort of like a cover
3) Circular Polariser
This one hor... This one hor... let u take nice nice sky... and like let say u wana take the crab in the pond, this one can turn turn turn util u dun see the reflection off the water lor, can see the crab more clearly...
thanks
bwilly said:get a circular polariser.
A UV filter is essential, protect your lens from scratches.
extra battery from EastGear, extra memory card lohz..
if you can, 1G at least.
try some night shots of course. with the mega OIS, notice
you shots is so much clearly and sharper..

AncientMariner said:Wd you settle for "old geezer"? I am old but only took up photography abt 9 months ago so cannot be considered "old bird".
For my FZ10, I use the Lowepro Sideline Shooter which can be worn like an oversized fanny pack and is very discreet. It has a "quick-draw" zip (no need to open cover) on top. No one knows you have a camera until you whip it out.
It can house my FZ10 with LTZ10 teleconverter attached, Vivitar 285HV flash (or a folded umbrella), ziplok bag, trash bag, lenspen, spare batteries, card wallet, adapter, CP and closeup filter.
damithc said:Thanks a lot AncientMariner, sideline shooter looks promising. so does the lowepro Zoom range. Any place in singapore that carry a wide range of lowepro bags? or have to order from ebay?
bwilly said:Check with Alan Photo.
They have a few variety of bags.
Also this Challenger at Funan too..
ivan said:bought a nova 2 not long ago, the size is enough for my FZ20 + some accessories
Hong Jia said:Answers all inside the quote... got colours one somemore...
damithc said:thanks guys for the advice on bags. appreciate it. i think there are many bag models that can hold FZ20 + accesories. but only a few can hold FZ20+adaptor+(converter/petalhood) all fixed together, while also allowing to draw and shoot quickly (like a pistol). that's why i'm kind o leaning more towards lowepro zoom. it's uniquely shaped like a pistol holster, deep enough the hold the long assembly.
AP quoted $18 w/o GST for a Hoya 62mm UV filter y'day. may be that's why you should think about the phayee adaptor (only $25). your investment will pay off after buying 2 filterspsx2sg said:Just check with AP, the UV filter only cost $35 hoya, and vericon $25 (dunno spell correctly or not)
