Pentax carry systems and bags?

tonyjayice · 07-04-2010, 11:03 AM

why doesn't Pentax make more bags and carrying equipment..?
I've seen but a few bags, small ones, that would be fine for a camera with the kit lens and an extra.. but why nothing bigger? ..
does anyone know of any Pentax bags still in production that would fit more than just a beginners kit? and don't they make a bag for medium format systems?

Because the competition is better at it. Tamrac and Lowepro can take care of all your needs IMO.

maybe that's the case but if I wanted a pentax labeled bag, since I'm all for pentax. and looking at canon and sony f.ex. they make bags and cases for their gear, and even with respectable size and features..
and choosing a bag is very hard.. I just wish pentax made bags and cases ..

I think we all end up with several because we are in pursuit of the one that will take care of all of needs in one bag.

Adam is right the Tamrac and Lowepro are better at it. I got a small Pentax brand sling bag on clearance and while it is good quality, it is essentially a copy of a Lowepro.

I do wish Pentax would make tags, stickers and patches instead of water bottles, pens and mousepads. I would love to have something like that for my bag.

What..and those water bottles and pens and mousepads don't fit in your bag?

I'm sure if they made patches and the like, we would also like them to make pens and mouse pads if they didn't actually have made them yet.
