The go-to shoulder bag for errands and photowalks with my film camera. Sport it in black, or a rad color way if you're into a retro style.
When I’m out on a photo walk or out on a photoshoot, it's really nice to have a light load on me. The last thing I want to do is have either too much on me or have a heavy load. A camera-designed sling is perfect for these situations. I’ve been using the Long Weekend Santa Fe Shoulder Bag since September, and it's been so handy. I take on every walk I do now. The sling is a 2-liter bag, so it fits everything I need. From my Fujifilm 16-55mm F/2.8, filters, moment lens, batteries, earbuds, gum, keys, wallet, and more! It's pretty impressive.
Sleek, Yet Low-Profile
I not only have less stress on myself but also can cover more ground, and not only does it hold what I need, but it matches my personality and fits my style as well. I’m a pretty default-type person (I prefer black clothes). So, the black Santa Fe shoulder bag is perfect for me. If the black-colored sling isn’t for you, then there are the iconic cream and multi-colored purple colorways! I wish I were able to pull those off. My personal experience with the sling has been nothing but positive. I wish I could share some things I don’t like about it, but it’s hard to find flaws.
Being able to zip open the sling and switch lenses quickly helps out a lot when out on the street for photo walks or shoots. Being around the Bay Area, it’s important not to stick out with your gear because you risk becoming a target. Before the sling, I would walk around with a backpack, which was not the smartest thing to do. Now, after walking around the shoulder bag, I feel less stressed, and I can cover more ground while getting more done.
Light, Everyday Carry
I think this is an item every photographer should have in their loadout. As I said in the beginning, I love to carry light. It's good for your health and efficiency, and it helps you blend in while looking stylish. If you are thinking about getting this bag for a friend or loved one, just be sure to stick a few Moment Lenses in there for the mobile creator or a few extra stocks of Kodak Portra 400 for those film lovers. You can never go wrong with more film, trust me.
