Guilty as charged! On single day events,I carry my Olympus "snapshot"
style camera (film type, I get a disc made with developing if I want to upload the pics anywhere). On tours (multi day, with packs) I also pack my Nikon SLR, a 35-105 zoom lens, three filters, a small backpack tripod, and sometimes an doubler/extention tube for telephoto/macro shots. - - "May you have the winds at your back, And a really low gear for the hills!"

What's a good way to carry a camera, I'm talkin' a big old circa 1970's style SLR, with a nice collection of equally elderly lenses. The camera bag is too big, the backpack to flimsy in a crash....

I used to have a Chinese made K-1000 style. Now, I'm a much better photographer and I carry an automagic Nikon SLR. It's $300 of lens (bought new) on $200 of camera body (second hand) with $75 of flash (on loan). I do not carry it when I go bicycling in China, though I will almost certainly carry it with me when I go bicycling at home in the US this summer. I'm not too afraid of breaking it. But, I'm very afraid of being robbed. I mostly bike alone. If I could find a biking partner I'd probably carry it. I just don't like putting temptation in front of people who are making less than $50 a month. -M |

Response to C.J.Patten: (I still have a medium format camera and an old 35mm Voigtlander here.) I really, really wanted a good rangefinder (had a few bad ones...), and was always on the lookout for a bargain; if I was going to get back into film photography, that's the sort of thing I'd go for. It's a bit out of date since I've been offline for two weeks, but I have been carrying a recently acquired Canonet QL17 early 1970s rangefinder in my bike bag. It's lens is decent and it's lighter and more compact than an SLR. I've got a 4x5, but haven't tried biking with it... Rob Dean |

On Sunday, under the auspices of looking at the big sign with bicycle club information someone was inching towards the mass of unlocked bicycles with the obvious intention of taking one of them. It's only the cheaper bicycles (like mine) owned by those of us who aren't bicycle weenies (like me) that have kickstands and can be left standing up in the road. I moved my bike (which was on the outside) up on to the sidewalk and one of the big big fellows with a carbon fiber frame ($2500 on a Chinese salary!) glared at the man until he got the idea that going away empty handed was better than being chased down by rabid rapid spandex-clad bicyclists. -M |
