Backpack For 5X7 Camera

This is the best camera backpack, let alone just backpack ever

These were perfect for my 5x7 photos.

this film smacks I love 5x7 :-)

I use the BlackRapid Backpack Breathe Camera Strap with a Lowepro ProTactic Backpack. One side of the strap connects perfectly to the rings located on the front of the backpack's shoulder straps and the other side connects onto a loop on the bottom of the pack on the other side. The BlackRapid backpack strap allows me to have quick access to my camera. With the camera on the BlackRapid strap, I no longer need to bring my backpack to my side to remove and use my camera. I now use my backpack only to store and change lenses. My camera can now remain outside my backpack, located conveniently to my side at hip level. When I want to shoot, the camera slides smoothly up the camera strap to eye level. I like that the camera hangs upside-down when resting on the strap. It makes for an easy get to position when my camera is resting at my side. This strap is amazingly slick and fun to use. I have to admit that I find myself playing around with it, like I'm some sort of gunslinger, showing off how quick I can be on the draw. I appreciate the movable clips provided on the BlackRapid camera strap. The two clips are easily adjusted, allowing me to restrict the movement of the camera to stay in one place on the strap when I am planning not to shoot. All of the attachment parts seem well made and designed. I keep the bottom strap strapped to the bottom of my backpack and store the rest of the strap in a small pocket on my backpack when I am not using the strap. Then, all I have to do is remove the strap from the small backpack pocket and connect the free end to the opposite shoulder strap . . . and I'm ready to go! I wish the piece that that screws into the camera (Camera Socket Attachment) was designed so that the camera could sit flat when attached, and if the design of the socket attachment would permit a tripod or mono-pod to be screwed into it without having to unscrew it from the camera. I absolutely love the BlackRapid Backpack Breathe Camera Strap!

I have taken photographs for over 50 years with 35mm film cameras, Canon digital cameras, a medium format RB 67 and a 5x7 Deardorff. The combination of this lens on the Leica M10 Monochrome produces images that rival a 5x7 camera, and you can carry it in one hand. Once you see the sharpness and contrast from this lens you are spoiled and other camera / lens systems seem just a bit off. Warning: whenever you're using your other camera systems you'll be wondering how much better the image could be with this lens.

I use this when shooting with a 4x5 or 5x7 large format field camera. The compartments hold three or more film holders, a spotmeter, and a set of 4 49mm filters fitting the smaller lenses I usually use for 4x5. The velcro closures are very secure, at least when new. After selecting the lens I am using (typically from a backpack), everything I need close to hand is easily accessible.

I use this paper in a 5x7 view camera for portraits and creative photography. It is easy to develop in standard black & white chemistry and is very fun for teaching young people about photography. Hopefully Ilford will continue to make it, and I hope to eventually use it in an ultra large format camera (11x14 or larger).

I haven't used the cloth in the field, but I'm trying it in my home studio on a Deardorff 4x5/5x7 camera. The size is appropriate for what I will need it for. The cloth is of good heavy material and makes viewing the ground glass comfortable. I appreciate the double-sided material which will be useful for protecting the camera in inclement weather and also as a small reflector if needed. I had been using a dark cloth that came with a 1920s 8x10 view camera that was worse for wear and very thin, so look forward to using the new cloth. I highly recommend this cloth at least for studio work and hopefully for landscape field usage.

Leave it permanently on your Large format camera, 4x5, 5x7, Pentax 67. Fantastic solution.

Good Price for the Mitsubishi 5x7 Paper.
