tom_collins3 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>Here's my gear that I want to be able to hold all in one bag:</p> <p>Canon Rebel XS<br> Canon 40D<br> 18-55 3.5-5.6<br> 50 1.8<br> 85 1.8 (soon to have)<br> 17-55 2.8 (soon to have)<br> 70-200 2.8 (future purchase)<br> Canon 430EX II Flash<br> Vivtar 285HV Flash<br> Cactus V4 Wireless Trigger with 2 Receivers</p> <p>I currently have the Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW and I LOVE the design (sling around for easy access to the body) but I realize that I'm going to have trouble finding a sling that will hold all of this (and trouble with my back if I am wearing all of this gear at the same time). </p> <p>Mainly what I'm looking for is a bag to protect my gear, keep it all in one place, and make it easy to transport to a location (wedding, portrait session, etc). Once I get to the location, I will likely ditch the bag, wear two bodies with two lenses (and maybe carry an additional lens or two with me in a modular belt system, memory cards and batteries in a hip pouch). </p> <p>Eventually I will be upgrading to at least one full frame camera as well. Any recommendations for a bag that will hold all of this (with some room to grow) are much appreciated!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>Since it sounds like you might be leaving <em>some</em> of your gear in the bag as you shoot, you might look at some of Think Tank's rolling/pack bags that include a locking cable to help secure things. Their <strong><a href="http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/airport-international-v2-roller-camera-bag.aspx">Airport International</a></strong> comes to mind. Your laptop can go along for the ride, too - and all of the other little odds and ends.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_collins3 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>Thanks Matt. That looks like a perfect solution, a little pricey, but hey, you pay for quality, design, etc. I love the locking cable feature and the fact that you can pack a laptop too. Also, perfect size for carry-on to avoid checking a bag with this much gear (makes my stomach a little queezy just thinking about it.) </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zml Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 <p>If you get TT Airport International, consider the low divider set as well: since you don't have any big lenses, low dividers will give you 2" of room for your laptop inside and other stuff.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
