Agreed John, I was referring to something more discrete rather than a proprietary bag with a name brand on display.

Best regards

There is an inherent mistrust of people with cameras. Many people suspect that you are from a magazine or foreign news agency and are there to show their lifestyle and living standards.

In most cases, permission is given to photograph only after you have spoken at length and gained their confidence. They also appreciate a print of the shot which in all cases where asked to provide, I did.

Whatever you buy, make sure you treat it with Thompson's water seal as it probably won't have a rain cover.

Just another point, discretion lasts right up to the point where you take a camera out of the bag.

Any one who is interested in you as a foreigner already knows that you will be carrying kit that is not the norm for the locals in the same area.

Just be careful and cautious.

They were taken in Nizhnekamsk, Tartarstan, Russia during a visit in 2005.

I'll second the dry sense of humour...

Whilst at Whitby I had a close shave with the cameras, one was on its way to Terra Firma but stopped short of impact due to the strap being around my arm. It clashed with another camera which was already hanging lower on its strap.

The only comment I heard was "its OK, it's only a Nikon".

Thus the K7 and D700 physically met for the first time.

Being properly built cameras, they live to tell the tale.

Impotent was a good guy, I'm sure fat will be better!
