Not because I bought all of them, many were part of the "Goodie package" every accredited photographer covering an international sport event received as you registered for the games. I still use my shoulder bag from the Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea 1988. It was part of the KODAK contribution to the package.! Handles all I need, a couple of cameras, M8 and Canon digi camera, extra lens or two, spare batteries and battery charger, extra cards, freezer Ziploc bag with about a pound of raisins, always great snack food ! A solid bit of experience advice.... do not mix a cup of Vodka with them and seal the bag! Trust me it doesn't work! :-) I also have a half dozen or more "photo vests!" Remember those? With all the pouches for 50 rolls of film, spare lens or two, note pad, accreditation and passport pouch, Start list for the races of the day, big back pouches for heaven knows what you might put in there... a 280mm Leica 2.8! And another big bottom pouch for a light weight rain poncho. I gave a bunch of them away to young guys starting at a local photo school and one to my grandson along with an M6 and 35mm f 1.4 lens. He'll begin college next month learning to be a written journalist and photographer. Then hopefully become a TV journalist At his interview last week he was asked ..."Where did you get your interest in photography?" As he was telling me this he smiled and said... "Oh my grandpa likes photography so it came from there." :-) "Remember grandpa, you did say... "KISS" is the best way!" And laughed. So what else could I do but laugh with him. :-) Considering he came out of the womb into a world of photography, so I expect he'll do OK. ;-) Dr. ted :-)
