stwrtertbsratbs5 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I like the Timbuk2 bags myself. And you can customize it if you order via their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyk Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I have 2 of the older style photomessenger bags that look a lot less "space-suit-like". I have the small and medium sizes: http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-Photo-Messenger-Camera-Black/dp/B00004X10J/sr=8-12/qid=1160765454/ref=sr_1_12/102-7746178-0029764?ie=UTF8&s=electronics and http://www.amazon.com/Tamrac-Photo-Messenger-Camera-Olive/dp/B00004X10H/sr=8-10/qid=1160765468/ref=sr_1_10/102-7746178-0029764?ie=UTF8&s=electronics Good: I took off the black stripe on the bags with the "Tamrac" name on it. They look like regular messenger bags. The medium sized one can hold an SLR with lens, 2 lenses, and a Leica M6 with 50mm and one other lens. The small one is good for the SLR with a couple of lenses. What I like about them is the fact that they are slim and don't look like camera bags. Bad: The flap is not zippered down. There's a single buckle that holds the top flap closed. On a trip to Hong Kong, with pickpockets everywhere, I ended up using my wife's LowePro Lynx LX-160. Now that bag really looks like any other cheap shoulder non-camera bag, and is zippered. Too bad those are no longer made. tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
