Abstract
Abstract A combination camera bag of flexible fabric comprises two "twin" camera bags, one the mirror image of the other, which are selectively attachable side by side for individual use when only one camera system is needed for a photographic field trip, or for doubled use when two camera systems are required. Each twin bag has a partitioned and cushioned camera and camera accessory insert which can be removed and used either for storage of a camera system or for replacement by still other inserts, selectively, holding other camera systems in storage.
