Which Camera Bag Do You Like?
For me there're two brands that already well known around photographers over the world: Lowepro and Domke.
Lowepro founder, Greg Lowe, creates the world's first internal-frame backpack in his garage on 1972. Most of the bags now made in China.
Lowepro have gone back to the drawing board with their renowned Trekker backpack range; they have been given new weather resistant YKK zips, lighter weight material, very strong and light hypalon (river rafts are made from this) attachment loops and a rubber carrying handle. Lowepro have also included the Trekker daypack previously available as an extra into the bargain. Other changes to theLowepro range include new materials and trim for the Nova and S&F ranges and a new smaller Dryzone backpack.
Since 1976 Jim Domke has been making some of the best and most practical and camera bags available.
They have been the bag of choice for professionals and active photographers alike, offering a combination of protection an access to the cameras inside, without being fussy or trendy. Domke bags are to be found in almost every corner of the world; they are equally at home on city streets, out in the field or at a society gathering. The bags mostly made in United States and the price about twice from Lowepro.
Other than these two brands, there're quite number of good bags also from Billingham, The company's transition from a manufacturer of fishing bags to one of camera bags came about in 1978 when Martin Billingham, a keen photographer himself, discovered that the fishing bags he made were being used by New York photographers. So popular were the first models that, within a year, almost all production had switched to camera bags.
Martin Billingham and Co have been making canvas camera bags for over 20 years, and they have become the standard for many users all over the world; they represent the best of British craftsmanship & design; the name that others aspire to. Billingham have had a review of their operations and have made changes to the range, the S3 and Photo Rucksack 25 have been discontinued.
The last one is KATA, Nitzan Kimchi and Dror Tishler, founders and owners of KATA, became acquainted with sophisticated military equipment during their service in an elite combat unit of Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Subsequently, they developed and offered solutions for the special units of the IDF and Israel’s secret services for over a decade. In 1992, in response to an increased demand for their products, and following an extended process of product development, they decided to establish KATA.
