So in preparation for today’s factory tour
\n“Arc'teryx Chalk Bags C80P”
\nI’ve been making a lens change belt using an Arc’teryx chalk bag
\nA quick-swap lens change belt.
 
\n
 
To be honest, wearing it any time other than when you’re constantly swapping lenses looks really uncool.
\nI didn’t fully understand the structure of the chalk bag.
\nIt’s nice that pulling the cord closes the top, but…
\nThere’s a plastic retainer around the perimeter that makes it easier to put your hand in.
\nSince this retainer doesn’t close, my heavy lenses aren’t stable.
\nFor a quick lens swap, I put into this bag…
\nThe 70-200 at 1540g & 17-55 at 755g & TC-14eⅡ at 200g = 2495g total
\nTo prevent the belt from digging into my waist, slipping, and falling off, I repurposed an unnecessary strap.
\nI also used a plastic buckle to make it easier to put on and take off.
\nMy sewing machine has been acting up lately, so I hand-stitched it.
 
\n
 
After trying it out
\nIt works fine with something like the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f\/2.8G IF-ED
\nBut the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f\/2.8G ED VR II bounces around when I walk with it in there.
\nIt’s pretty risky when walking
\nBut after using it today, I can swap lenses super easily and quickly!
\nIt turned out to be more useful than I expected & I’m glad it didn’t end up as trash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
