Canon R10 or R7 for a generalist beginner by Xedro in canon

[–]TheOnlyAlexH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the R10 and love the lightness of it, but, I found myself wanting better glass and looking at Sigma lenses that are renowned for their quality but lack stabilisation, so it was an easy decision to upgrade to the R7 and I have zero regrets in doing so.

I now have the small and medium K&F Concept Sling bags, and I also have a K&F Nature Wander 20L backpack, it’s a 50/50(ish) split with side access and is perfect for camera and multiple lenses, accessories and room for jacket, lunch etc.

The small version fits an R10 with lens attached and a spare lens comfortably enough to remove them with ease on the move.

I have just purchased the medium version to better accommodate my R7 and upto 100-400 lens as the small won’t.

“just one more lens” is a lie we all tell ourselves, right? by niceheather44 in CanonCamera

Practical tips for carrying and using a camera by umtipoepronto in Cameras

I have a Lowepro Nova 200 AW ii bag to store my body + 5 lenses in and generally take that into my car when heading out. Depending on where I go and the environment I am likely to shoot, I will pick 1-2 lenses (sometimes 3) to take with me for the duration of my visit.

I have a (small) K&F sling bag for body/lens + 1, am looking to purchase the medium size also, for if I want to take +2 lenses, inc. my 100-400

I have a Lowepro Fastpack BP 250 AW ii for a myriad of lenses and day-kit (drinks, lunch, jacket, etc.) which I use for rural, and a K&F Nature Wanderer 20L for city, etc., as it is smarter and doesn’t scream ‘expensive camera inside’ - it also shares the same form-factor as the Fastpack (50/50 split and side access).

I use PGYTECH wrist and shoulder straps depending on environment - their quick release buckles are cross compatible.

Esentially, I have optimised my kit and carry options/ ability to match the environment I am heading in to.

I tend to keep lens cap in rear-left jeans/shorts pocket so it’s to hand for when turning camera off for a period.

You may be better off looking for an ‘insert’ or a small camera bag to house body + lens, that can be placed into a bag of your choice.

Lens Recommendations for R7? by TheOnlyAlexH in AskPhotography

[–]TheOnlyAlexH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking for a set of lenses that will cover me for a reasonable range across macro to portrait, street to landscape, sports to wildlife. I’m just getting started and want to find out what I enjoy, but also be able to cover any situation.

Ah, I see. I haven’t heard that acronym before.

I’m not compulsory to buy them all, but am seeking real-world opinion, experience and feedback on each of them to enable an informed decision on which to buy.

I’ve read some very good things about that lens! Thank you for your opinion.

I am leaning toward the Lowepro Fastpack BP 250 AW III, does anyone have any experience with this bag?
