Leather camera bag that can hold a 15.6" laptop


Recommended Posts

I did a little googling but couldn't find anything so excuse me if this has already been covered...

I'm looking for shoulder bag for my fuji kit that can also take a 15.6 laptop (I have a Dell Latitude E5550 that's 38cm long (roughly 15inches), 26cm wide (10.3inches) and 2.5cm (1 inch) thick). As for the kit, I currently have two xt-10 bodies, 18/2, 23/1.4, 35/2, 56/1.2 and the 18-55/2.8-4, but I only need to accommodate for one body. the kit lens will most likely be left behind, and the 18 and the 35 are small enough to be stacked toghether. I'd very much like if it were a retro looking leather bag (ona bag type of look). I've searched the amazon for stuff like http://goo.gl/TiKrd9 or http://goo.gl/FQgzkw but I'm still not sure they fit the requirements.

I know I'm asking quite a lot from a bag, but I'm also sure the collective fuji hive mind could return some great suggestions :)

Thank you!

I can only think of the Ona Union Street or the leather version of it.

 

or maybe if you like the style, you also have the Billingham 335 or 555.

 

But heck, they will be far above the budget of the Amazon bag.

 

Personally I have the 335 in black and while it is currently retired for more modern looking bag, it still have served me very well for the past decade. Now it mostly holds lenses that I am not using on regular basis, ie. anything non-Fuji.

But it has been under quite a few adventure with me and always ready for me, I really can not find a fault in it for all its parts are still working fine even after so many years of usage.

true but it is a large computer pocket probably fitting a larger computer.

 

It measures 37cm width to almost 27cm in the height but it might fit the 38 by 26cm because there is some “ give” being a relatively soft material  ( it’s difficult to be precise in measuring exactly because it is soft).

 

You must have tour reasons to want to edit your picture while on the go ( I only ever did take a MacBook when I was on the job and really did this only to show the client the shots, not so much because I was going to do any editing myself then and there!).

The ability of being able to quick edit pictures on the shooting premises is what pushed me to get a 13" ultrabook laptop with a dedicated video card.

 

I used to carry around a bigger 15.6" laptop several years ago also with a dedicated video card but it was starting to get heavy in the Billingham along the Nikon FF + lenses and two years ago, I decided to go lighter and smaller. That's how I ended up with Fuji, came really close of Olympus but in the end, I preferred Fuji IQ over some of the features of the m4/3 format.

I went for the 15.6 mainly for the IPS panel (it's a Dell Latitude E5550). Just couldn't find anything smaller with a similar good display. I also wanted it to be able to partly replace my desktop. I don't regret the decision with the exception of poor mobility

Asus Zenbook UX305 series, 13.3" size, you can change easily:

 

- 1 RAM slot, 4gb is soldered on the board

- HDD slot for either fat HDD drive or fast SSD

 

And if you are good with IT parts swapping, without too much hassle:

 

- CPU

- Battery

 

Touch-screen, IPS display, tri HD resolution too. Cheaper version without the touch screen and graphical card at sub 900$ or higher up with the touche screen and GPU at 1300-1400$ depending on CPU versions (up to i7 dual cores).

 

Less than 2cm thickness and weight 1.4kg with the battery cable, 3 USB 3.0 slots, SD card reader mini display port and HDMI. I was really hard pressed to find something as small with that much punch to it.

 

The screen HAD to be calibrated, it has a very nasty yellowish tint by when coming out of the factory.

 

There are several flavor of it and I think they have released an updated version of mine with a slightly better GPU.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
