When touring, I carry my cameras in an Ortlieb handlebar bag equipped with their padded camera insert. If I'm just out for a ride on an unloaded bike, and want take a real camera, I have a couple of home-made padded bumbags. Here's one with an Olympus Pen-F micro 4/3 plus 12-40 f2.8 zoom lens:

I use various Rivendell bags for carrying my cameras including my old Oly's. The Banana sax is my favorite, up front for quick access. If I put them in a basket, I pad with whatever works for the particular ride. There are some very light, very well padded cheap camera bags that B&H carry inclu

You can use a bar bag like a Randi Jo or something similar. If it's bigger, than Outershell Adventure has a nice front bag and sells padded camera slots to organize everything. On Friday, June 28, 2019 at 10:39:56 PM UTC-4, Philip Williamson wrote: > > What’s the best way to carry a valuable/sen

I have both the XA and the Rollei 35 and love 'em. Last time I had them on a bike trip I was in Yosemite and grabbed this: https://flic.kr/p/MFLwHt I used the Rollei for that one. To be honest, I think I used color film and then turned it into B&W digitally - cheating a bit I guess. You'll love

Awesome. I just looked up the Olympus xa, too. That looks extremely cool. I had geeked out on the Rollei 35 years ago, but never bought one. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this grou

I am interested! Orange for sure. I’ve been mounting a tender bag on the back of my basket, and this looks perfect, since it’s squarer. I have three bikes with baskets, and one is orange. It seems like I could move a camera from my body to the bag for transport stages or hairy trails where you m
