Professional trip: Two camera bodies and three lenses - one bag Munich
Anyone who takes professional photographs knows the dilemma: you often need two camera bodies at work so that you don't have to keep changing lenses, for example one camera with a wide-angle lens for reportage and a second with a telephoto lens for details. You may also want to have a third lens to hand for special requirements and you also need to have your laptop or tablet within reach at all times. Transporting such extensive equipment can quickly become a challenge and you definitely need a good, specially designed camera bag to get everything from A to B safely and securely. The Oberwerth München camera bag was developed for just such a situation. It is one of the most spacious shoulder bags in the Oberwerth universe and offers the necessary volume for particularly expansive equipment.
Why the München offers so much space
This Oberwerth München layout guide will show you how to make the most of the space available in the bag and pack it perfectly for a long-distance photo trip with two bodies and three lenses. A particular advantage in this context is that the bag offers a good amount of space thanks to its special depth and height. This is because attempts to pack more compact bags often fail due to the height of professional SLR cameras or mirrorless systems with portrait format handles. But that's exactly what the München is designed for with its capacity of 13 liters and easily offers space for extensive equipment, making it a perfect travel bag for up to two cameras.
In addition to cameras and lenses, space has also been provided in the padded outer compartment for a 14" MacBook and a tablet up to 10" in size. There are also two spacious front pockets, a separate cell phone compartment and a lockable inner compartment for additional accessories or personal items. The bag is available in classic, vintage and full leather versions and offers different color combinations and materials depending on the model.
Perfectly packed
The classic Munich inner bag has a hinged lid and is available in black-red, black, olive and beige. The entire inner bag is removable, but remains firmly attached to the corresponding camera bag thanks to its Velcro fastener and cannot slip out even when the bag is open. There are two sewn-in leather compartments in the flap for storing memory cards.
If you don't want to use the bag to transport your camera and photo equipment, but instead have a laptop and folders with documents with you on a business trip, for example, the Munich can be quickly and easily transformed into an elegant and functional business bag. Devices such as a 14" MacBook as well as tablets, various documents and other necessary business utensils then have sufficient space in the bag.
Practical packing diagram: two housings, three lenses
However, if you want to store two cameras and three lenses in the Munich, you should give some thought to the organization and arrangement of the equipment despite the extensive storage space in the bag. For a practical packing arrangement, for example, the camera that you use most often can be placed in the middle of the bag. A lens is already attached to it, which can be used in a variety of ways. On one side of the main camera there is still room for a second, possibly slightly smaller camera, while the other side offers space for two more lenses or even a very large telephoto lens.
As transporting so much equipment is not just about storage space, but the equipment also weighs quite a bit, the München has a wide padded leather shoulder strap that distributes the weight optimally. Another advantage is the special layout of the bag insert, which has been designed so that the bag's center of gravity is always close to the body. This prevents the bag from swinging back and forth unpleasantly when walking. The practical trolley strap is a particular advantage when traveling, as it allows the bag to be easily attached to a trolley case so that it no longer has to be carried on the shoulder.
Safety and weather protection
Anyone who travels a lot and has expensive equipment with them knows about the challenges that the constant transportation of equipment in often unfamiliar places can bring. If you are traveling with two cases and also need them for your own work, you usually have high demands on their safety, and rightly so. Here too, the München offers a real advantage, as its design protects against both theft and adverse weather conditions.
The bag has been designed so that the lid slightly overlaps the sides of the bag, which prevents rainwater or dust from penetrating inside the bag. It also offers mechanical protection, which is particularly guaranteed by the material of the bag, as the Cordura® used here is very durable and tear-resistant. So not only can you take everything you need with you on your photo trip, you also don't have to worry about the safety of your equipment.
Conclusion
If you like to be well prepared, need to have various cameras and versatile lenses quickly to hand for your work and are looking for a good, safe and, above all, elegant way to transport them, the Munich camera bag is the perfect choice. Thanks to the large storage space and particularly good interior layout, this model offers plenty of room for cameras and lenses as well as all kinds of necessary or useful details when taking photos. Despite its complex equipment, the Munich camera bag manages to remain clear and easy to organize thanks to the flexible interior layout with insert. As an ideal travel bag, it also manages the difficult balancing act between maximum protection for the valuable contents and high aesthetic standards.
