1. Adorama doesn’t carry Singh-Ray Filters.
2. B&H Photo doesn’t carry Think Tank Photo bags.
Result of this happy observation, I paid double for express shipping. I can’t believe these two awesome photo geek heavens don’t carry both product lines. Oh well, being out an additional ten bucks didn’t sting too much.
So why the gear post?
I'm about to live a dream photo gig. I'm currently in Chicago, spending some time with some really great friends. And I'm happy report that Chicago will be the starting point for my photo essay on Americana on Route 66.
I humped all most of the camera gear to Chicago via a Think Tank Airport Security V1 rolling camera bag. Along with the suitcase that housed my clothing, I had a personal carry-on back that housed my PC and other random required items. What was missing in this whole logistical arrangement was smaller bag to house the camera(s) and lens(es) for daily use. Thank you Adorama for shipping the Urban Disguise 35 V2.0.
Anticipating my equipment needs besides the basic camera and lens combinations has been a mild challenge. Having not done an assignment like this before, I've been playing out all the potential shooting scenarios in my head. This best thing I came up with to cover my photographic needs was a high caliber neutral density filter - a ND filter that changes density as you rotate it. On top of that, it is a polarizer as well. So there. Thank you Singh-Ray for making quality expensive products that receive high ratings from photo geeks like us. Now, all I have to worry about is vignetting on my uber wide angle lenses. There's only so much Singh-Ray can do to keep this thing as thin as possible. I'll have to live with the profile thickness.Mood: Mildly Jet Lagged-I’m weak
