Bag for S3

[OneAkela]

I'm looking for the appropriate bag for my S3 plus accessories. I got the 52 mm adapter plus two filters (UV+polarizer). I'd also like to keep a spare set of cells in it along with a spare SD card.

What case would be appropriate for carrying all that stuff safely?

to tell you the truth... i made my own bag. i had a video camera bag (big) that i put sleeping bag cushion in it to conform to my s3is. it works very well and saved me some money. so if you guys have some durable bags... make your own cushioning =)

This seems like the twilight zone, I just came from one like this :confused: does anybody check other threads first:confused:

I like tamrac, they are built much tougher than lowepro's in my opinions, thicker material, bigger stitches, a bit more padding but in the end it was way too bulky and expensive for my needs.. meh..

steve, can i see a picture of your camera bag? i wanna make a custom made bag hehehe.. gonna look into some styrofoams and cut it up and stuff maybe :cool:

[steveLe]

sure karl... i am at school right now, but when i get home, i will take some pictures. try out some "showcase" pictures for my bag.

[truflip]

sweeet! got somethin to look forward to while i sit at work >.<

[steveLe]

here you go karl =)... its just a old video camera bag with cushioning provided by an old sleeping bag. works pretty well, but the size might a bit too much.

yummy, it looks very comfy inside! but ur right. it might be a bit too big for my taste.. i still like the 4 or 5 million $ bag.. i think im just gonna spend the money.. heh:(

Well, I found a Samsonite bag at Walmart. It is a bit big, but it had dividers in it that can be adjusted to snugly fit the S3. There is room left over for accessories-filters, lenses, maybe even a charger. Outside pockets can hold batteries, etc. The main compartment is very well padded and has a very soft lining called Ultra-soft TCL90 lining. You have to use the shoulder strap or the handle. Can't be strapped to your belt. I got it for about 17 US dollars. It looks exactly like this one:

Toodle off to your local Wally World and take a look before you plunk down extra moolah.

Lowepro Edit 110 ;)

truflip - are you able to hold your S3 and Lensmate adapter in the Edit 110? Reason I ask is that's what I have - only without the lens adapter. Didn't think there was room in the the 110 for it. Got a pic?

Thanks,

[truflip]

yes I the bag can hold the S3 with the Lensmate 58mm adapter attached to it =) i dont have a picture of the camera actually sitting inside the bag.. but if you can wait till saturday.. i can take a shot... unless you dont mine me taking a picture with my phone :o

[N8TJG]

truflip -

It's not a problem to wait until the weekend. I don't have the Lensmate yet but it would be great if I could fit it in my existing bag when I do get it.

Thanks!

[truflip]

ok.. i didnt get to see borrow my gf's F30 today.. so i had to use my phone.. here are some shots:

[N8TJG]

Thanks for the pics truflip.

I haven't tried my S3 sideways in my bag yet. Nice to see that it fits nicely.

[truflip]

No Problem Todd =) let me know if you need anymore pics/help/advice etc...
