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!!!

Inside the Bag!

As requested, here are some photos of the inside of the large bag!

The back 3 outside pockets. Your lenses sink down nice and snug in these pockets.


The front 3 pockets, under the cover.


The smaller front pockets will snuggly hold a camera body/grip with no lens.


Shown empty. 19w x 11h


----------

This is looking at the (small) bag from the left front with the cover folded behind and empty. Here you see the smaller front pockets for your smaller accessories. In the right pocket is a key clip and the attached reel you see on the left can be used for numerous things, including your light meter, expo-disc, etc.



Here is the bag with a Canon 70-200L lens (with hood on correctly) and an external flash. These would be considered the "front" pockets that the cover would cover over when moved to the front of the bag.


These are the back pockets with a Canon 24-70L lens (with lens hood on the right way) and again the external flash. Usually I carry my 85mm in that pocket as my 135L is on my camera, but I wanted you to be able to SEE that there was something in that pocket, as the 85 and 135 both sink down and are snug.


Please feel free to ask if you have ANY questions! I hope this helps you visualize the bag better. Again, it's a lens bag, meant to be used while at a session or wedding and not for storage of your equipment. If you are looking for a well made camera bag, check out Tracy Joy.

Bags! Bags! Bags!

Whew!! Ok, so that backorder "stint" put me behind, but now the bags are flying out the door and we're back on track!! Here's 3 of the 5 that shipped today!! Enjoy your bags ladies!!
