Question

Hook, Line and Sinker

I have bought into this photography thing hook, line and sinker. Can you believe this?

I went out and bought a new laptop that would fit into my new camera bag. How sick is that?

The bag maker said that it could hold a laptop with a 15.3" screen. Unfortunately laptops have 15.6" screens. Even the 14" screens would not fit because the pocket, while wide enough, is not deep enough.

Oh well, now I have Windows 8 to play with, and a touch screen to boot. So I guess I need to try writing touch apps since the Adobe software for that comes with the Creative Cloud.

    Steven,

    I have a 17" laptop bag, sitting totally unused (my laptop is more of a portable workstation, so I do not travel with it). I would be glad to send it to you, if you do not mind having a bag, that will likely need a strip, or two of foam (probably picked up from the scraps at any upolstery shop).

    Just drop me an e-mail with the shipping info and it's yours.

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    I'm gonna buy another one of those plastic carrying cases with wheels..they are cheap...about $26.00. And do more or less what you're doing, Steve. You know, get stuff sorted into bags and so on so I can get out and shoot when my camera arrives. I'll take out all the 6x7 mamiya stuff from current bags, put that into plastic thing with bubble wrap etc, and use the bags for new camera stuff. Some of those camera bags were waaay expensive ! Padded, waterproof, and so on. Have dividers with velcro tabs so you can sorta arrange things ( bodies, lenses, meters, filters, etc ). Pretty cool.

    Not hard cases like real pro stuff for shipping etc.. just soft cases.

    Oddly enough I now feel less enthusiastic than I did when I ordered the camera. I don't know why. I think it's fear maybe ? Or maybe it's the learning curve thing.. my first digital camera capable of shooting halfway decent motion.. and I don't know how to use it yet. Oh well, maybe I'll get past that and love it when it gets here.
