I bought a Domke F-6 camera bag from a bloke on eBay. It came cheap because he'd lost the strap. Domke spare parts are quite expensive, and so I found another eBay trader who made straps to fit. They mostly served the equine community. In some respects the replacement strap is actually an improvement and quite a bit cheaper. Nikon D2Xs with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens in poor lighting.

An old Billingham 225 camera bag, very dirty and neglected when bought, and given a scrub with soap and water, followed by application of boot polish and Brasso as appropriate. I admire Billingham bags for their craftsmanship, gear protection, weather proofing, and durability. I have owned several different models. But I have not enjoyed using them, with the possible exception of the Hadley. They are heavy and not the best for access. Plus, they are expensive, as you might expect from the materials used and the impeccable construction. Photographed with a Nikon D90 and AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.

Nikon D700 + Nikkor AF 50mm f1.4D lens.

In the western liturgical year, Lady Day is the traditional name in some English-speaking countries of the Feast of the Annunciation, which is celebrated on 25 March, and commemorates the visit of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, during which he informed her that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In England, Lady Day was New Year's Day from 1155 until 1752, when the Gregorian calendar was adopted. Nikon D700 and Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens.

Everything manual, including the lens, a Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 on a Nikon D300s. The bag is a Billingham Hadley Original.

The incidence of triangles in Christian churches is smaller than you would imagine. Nikon D700 + Nikkor-O.C Auto f/2 35mm lens.

A detail of an Edwardian wardrobe I bought for less than the cost of a decently-built contemporary alternative. It's a bit beaten up but remarkably resilient. Nikon D700 + Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens. f/5.6; 1/60th.

Taken with a Canon EOS 20D on an overcast day in March,2014. This is a repeat posting following some processing to lighten and improve the clarity and luminance. The original was rather dark and moody, and hid a lot of the detail.

Top: Billingham Hadley Pro. Bottom: Billingham 550. Originally Billingham designed and manufactured sturdy waterproof canvas bags for anglers. Then they noticed that photographers were buying their products. Then they got rich. Nikon D700 + AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D lens.
