Hi Tanya in the warehouses and specialized shops her, photo equipment and traveling bags are rather expensive. Prices easily start at $30 for a common camera bag and up to much more for robust back-backs or brands. Luckily there are half a dozen second hand stores near the town or in Zurich. Today I found a upholstered artificial leather photo bag in nearly unused condition. It has separate room (compartments) for a camera body, flash, two big lenses and a lot of space for filters and film in separate pockets and other useful equipment. It was $3 and at that price, they have a lot of special back-backs too, some in nearly new condition. I own now one for every of my 3 camera/lens sets ready to go outdoors:-) I often find filters and good books too, the camera bodies and lenses are mostly defective or in doubtful condition. The salesperson do not really know the value of filters, I get them for $3-$5 independent of brand, size or type.
Do you have second hand shops like these and did you already make some good deals there? happy pentaxing Markus > BTW, I just noticed that KEH.com has some pretty cheap used ones... > tan.
