Finalists!!

WOW!! What fun!! It was tough (and hilarious), but we have narrowed down our entries to the Top 5, and we're going to let YOU choose who wins!! Make your selection in the poll to the right!! :)

Thank you to everyone who entered!! Good luck to our finalists!! Here they are in no particular order!

Contestant 1:

Why do I need a PLW lens bag? There are so many reasons, I can't even count them all! In addition to moving across the country, buying a house, having a baby, and training a puppy, I'm currently in the process of having to re-establish my portrait photography business in a city where I don't know anybody. I can definitely use some help getting organized right now, and having my camera supplies in order would be a HUGE help (and a definite mood-booster)!



Contestant 2:
I have bought all kinds of different bags and have yet to find the perfect one. If I have found one that is comfortable enough to carry it gets so beat up that it doesn't last long. That is what has happened recently and now I am stuck carrying my yucky canon backpack, which is so dorky that I cringe every time I load it up. Pro Lens Wear is so cool and hip (as well as appearing very durable). So if nothing else, please pick me to win the Pro Lens Wear contest for fashions sake. A photographer with an uncool bag is a terrible thing :)



Contestant 3:
Gina, as you can tell from my entry, I desperately need a PLW bag. I have tried many bags before and can honestly say that this one was the worst ever…the handles are flimsy, I can barely fit two of my lenses inside leaving them unprotected from the elements and it was torn before I even got all of my gear inside!



Contestant 4:
How do I carry my equipment at sessions? My very own pack mule! I load him up, and he follows me everywhere. I desperately need a PLW bag because hubby is running out of hands and limbs, and I can't always take him with me to every shoot. Please take the burden off this poor man and set him free.



Contestant 5:
Oh, I so need this bag!!! Look at me! I look ridiculous! My camera bag is solid, sits on my hip when I stand, or if I try to bend or move at all it slides to my front and gets in my way. The strap scratches at my neck, and leaves me raw by the end of a shoot. Well, that's if I wear it....lately I'm so frustrated I end up plopping it down on the ground, then I'm scared the whole time that someone will swoop in and steal it when my eye is looking through the viewfinder. It is almost not worth taking, except that I don't like being limited to just one lens, or one battery, etc.

Please help me!!!
