In your bag 703, Ming Thein

I think many of you know Ming. He is the man behind the hugely popular blog mingthein.com and the most popular bag shot of all time on JCH, number 400. Today I got to spend the day with him in Tokyo, and this was his bag. And This is real, he really was carrying all of this. Check it out.



A quick poor quality grab with my iPhone on the hotel desk – nowhere else to put all the gear, and no cameras left over after all were put into the shot! I’m here (in Tokyo) on assignment and for video work (that’s a separate E-M1 based kit with my partner). I’m carrying:

Hasselblad 501CM with HC4 prism and CFV-39 digital back

Zeiss CF 4/50 FLE, 2.8/80, 4/150 lenses

Ricoh GR and GW-3 21mm converter

Cable release, Voigtlander VC-Meter II

A lot of spare batteries (more than shown), spare 32GB CF and SD cards

Late 2012 MacBook Air, fully loaded

Wacom Intuos Small tablet

Gitzo GT1542T Traveller tripod without the centre column, and an Arca-Swiss P0 Monoball. That thing around the top is a Gitzo belt holster I found at Bic Camera.

I have a Billingham 307 that carries it all, and a Billingham Hadley Digital as a day bag that holds two ‘Blad lenses, the 21mm converter and accessories. GR goes in a holster, and the ‘Blad itself is in hand.

Thanks for sharing this bag with us all Ming, it is really cool to see what you shoot with. I am sure a lot of people are interested to see inside this bag. Thanks for walking around Tokyo with me today, it was a blast.

Check out the links and make sure you come and comment.

Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.
