dan_k6 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have a D200, 80-200 2.8, 18-70DX, Quantum Turbo SC, SB-800, some wires, and I want to buy a 12-24 in the nearfuture. Is there a bag that you know of that would be perfect for this gear? The thing is, I don't want any extra space. I just want this stuff to fit in. I thought of a Tenba Pro Traveler II 655 but I wanted to know if there was anything from Tamrac that would fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richterjw Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have used both a Lowepro Stealth and Off Road for several years. They are different sizes and serve different functions for me, but both are extremely durable and effective. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 over the past three years I have really come to like the bags, and rolling cases from http://www.thinktankphoto.com . Before I was using a mix of Lowepro, Domke, Tamrac and others. My curerent regular camera bags for assignment work is one of Thinktank Photos Urban Disguise shoulder bag /briefcases and my walk around bag is their Rotation360 backpack -- both of which fit your needs to a T.

Matt Laur Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I second the motion on the Think Tank gear. You kind of have to lay hands on it to really see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_moseley1 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I love my Think Tank Urban disguise bag. However it is flawed..the zip runs right across the top of the bag and is no way waterproof or even near...as I discovered in a short but sharp shower...

steven_moseley1 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 "My UD came with a rain cover" ...so did mine, but here in the UK, showers can be over before you even have chance to get it out and fit it...and that is exactly what happened...

JAPster Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sort of ironically, I ended up buying a large Canon SLR bag to carry my Nikon d-300 & a 'normal' lens, an SB-800 flash, a 200mm zoom, and a 300mm zoom. And all the little accessories like CF picture cards, an ExpoDisk, Card readers, cables, filters, and etc. I think I got the Canon bag from Best Buy, and got it mainly cause it looked very durable and very well made, and it cost about $60. So far, I have not regretted this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_dark Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I guess it depends what style you like. I have a crumpler 7mil home, and it fits my Canon 40D w/ 24-70L attached with lens hood reversed, 70-200, 17-40, lens hoods for both of those, 50mm w/ lens hood, one flash, all my CF cards and batteries, some lens cleaning stuff, a good handful of spare AA's, a few filters, charge, DL cable etc all in a very comfortable shoulder bag. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it does shed water pretty well (better with a spray coating), and is roomy and comfortable to carry around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moseley Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ive used Tamrac bags for many years which are fine, but if you want a bag that will last a lifetime and becomes better the older it gets , grab yourself a Billingham. The bags go up in size with many models , they are excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccommins Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I also have the LowePro Slingshot 300, it is a great bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan_ross Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have a bunch of different bags in the closet. I usually use one I paid $30.00 for and has a broken snap. My camera lays in it just right with lens attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
