Are there unique camera bags designed for micro four-thirds?

Question

There are a lot of discussions about bags for DSLR — but since micro four thirds is all about size, there have to be some unique bags designed especially to take advantage of the reduced size. Using a SLR bag for Micro 4/3 equipment seems plain stupid.

Requirements: fit a camera, a bunch of lenses and some accessories (like extra battery / charger) plus a MacBook Air 11".

Answer 1

Well many a camera bag has interchangeable dividers that allow you to custom fit the interior compartments - so any of those can be a micro four thirds bag. Since you're going to be throwing the whole kitchen sink your bag ("a camera, a bunch of lenses and some accessories (like extra battery / charger) plus a MacBook Air 11") there's little use in recommending a particularly small bag. Just get the size and style of bag you want that has the movable dividers.

Answer 2

Some smaller camera bags like the Think Tank Retrospective 5 are marketed as being designed for MFT cameras, but that generally just means they're slightly smaller bags. As rfusca mentioned, pretty much any smaller bag with adjustable dividers should function.

Answer 3

I am sure that such big manufacturer like Lowepro will have something to fit your needs. They have very good and modular bags and cases. Just have a look. As I wanted to buy some case to fit my DSLR with my Tamron 70-300 plus some additional lens, filters etc. - it was finally not a big problem and I quickly found their Inverse 100 AW. There are also other good brands like Caselogic or Kata. :-)

Answer 4

You can use padded lunch bags for storing MFT gear in your regular bag. This opens up a whole world of options with far better designs than most camera cases.
