Covering The Photo Beat: Bags, Brackets & Gear

The Incase Camera Bag Collection
The Incase Camera Collection has been expanded and redesigned to better fit the needs of pro and hobbyist photographers. The DSLR Pro Pack allows you to carry heavy loads comfortably. The main compartment features a fully customizable modular divider system to safely accommodate a camera body, lenses, flashes, and other equipment. Primary access is through the back of the bag with quick access through the zipper on the top. There is an additional storage area for a 15” laptop and a slip pocket for a tablet computer and the exterior straps can be used to secure a tripod to the bag.

 

The DSLR Pro Sling Pack is for field photography where quick access to gear is a priority. It offers a balance between large carrying capacity, customization, and protection. It features a quick-release harness system that allows for easy access without removing the pack, adjustable padded dividers for all sorts of gear, and a padded compartment for a 15” laptop computer. It also has a hideaway hip belt for superior stability.

The Point and Shoot bags are designed to fit cameras of all sizes and offer a low profile design with multiple pockets and an adjustable camera and lens compartment divider. The suggested retail prices for the Camera Collection range from $19.95 to $169.95.

Correction
In our April, 2012, issue report on Fast Primes, the Canon 50mm f/1.2 lens was listed as a Series II model. The correct designation is 50mm f/1.2L. The 50mm f/1.8 is the only Series II 50mm lens currently in the Canon lineup.
