I’m a travel photographer and one of my greatest quests is not to find the perfect shot, but the perfect camera bag. You probably know what I mean if you have ever bought a camera bag.
The internal dividers of every bag or backpack that I have owned never fit my gear perfectly. The compartments are either too large or too small for my lenses. This results in a lot wasted space, gear that isn’t completely secure, and difficult decisions about which lenses to keep.
(Yes, there are redundancies, but each lens has a clear purpose!) Yes, there is some redundancy, but every lens serves a specific purpose.

What’s the answer? Here I will explain how I optimize my camera bag’s space and offer a step by step process to pack your camera bag more efficiently.
