thomas_fiege Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi guys, I was asked the other day what I would like to have as a present. So I thought to wish something for my camera equipment. So now the question. I would like to have something to carry one D80 with 18- 135 attached + one spare lens (nikon 70-300 ore sigma 10-20) + SB600 + filter. I like the Crumpler bags as they don't look like that there are camera bags. But I don't know which sice will suit my needs. Are there other bags you can recommend? Say should be shoulder bags as the Crumpler daily bag. I already have a backpack wich suits my needs as a backpack, but nothing for cary around with easy access. thanks for your help any helpful suggestions and other thoughts and opinions are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darryn_richter1 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Perhaps consider getting a Crumpler Messnger Bag (whihc are fantastic quality and functionality alone) mated with a custon Photo insert. Use the messenger bag for work, and just slide the indsert with your gear in when you are shooting. I'm not sure which country you are in, here in Australia, it is the Wonder Weenie/Barney Rustle Blanket, with a matching "Bucket" for your camera gear. That will fit two pro bodies, a few primes and a flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seland Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm happy with the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home, maybe you should have a look at the smaller models (6, 5, 4...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_margolis Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I use the SlingShot 200. Nice that it is all weather and swings around for easy access. It will probably fit all your gear but if not, they make a larger 300 model. http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Sling_Bags/All_Weather_Cover/SlingShot_200_AW.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_arnold Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 here's another vote for the LowePro Slingshot 200 AW. it's a bit of a less-stressful fit on your back, hips and sides than a loaded messenger bag, and can easily hold a d80+zoom lens + 1-2 extra lenses + filters + flash + spare batteries/memory cards. it's trick feature is the ability to slide it into 'ready' position. the AW cover is nice in a sudden downpour.

ShunCheung Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You should be able to fit the D80, 18-135, 70-300, 10-20 and SB-600 into a LowePro SlingShot 200, with the SB-600 in the top compartment. If you don't need to bring all the lenses at the same time, you might even be able to get away with a SlingShot 100. (I have the 200 and 300 myself, but not the 100.) Whether you'll like the SlingShot or not is another issue. Only you can decide that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_leonin Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You were asked what you wanted for a present, and you're thinking about a bag? I would've said: "World peace, an end to poverty and starvation, and a Nikon D3, although not necessariliy in that order." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_fiege Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 thanks for the quick answer. I will have to look in a shop if I would like the Lowepro it looks more like a backpack to me. Keith I don't know if I would like to have a D3. I am not brilliant with the D80 so I would propably sell a D3 to get some better glas ;-) and books to lern more. A good tool will only produce good results in the hands of a master of his trade. it wount give ME better pics. only more wight to carry around.
