Reccomended carrying case for D300 + large lenses+laptop

<p>I posted a similar question in the bags forum last fall but am still looking. I need to meet all the following criteria.</p>

<p>D300 with grip and preferably with attached 17-55 F/2.8G ED AF-S with reversed hood<br>

70-200 F/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR with reversed hood<br>

Sigma 30 F/1.4 EX DC HSM with hood<br>

Batteries, Charger, USB cable, extra compact flash cards, MP3 player, cell phone, pager, 2 1/2 inch USB hard drive, Flip Mino, Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Digital Camcorder, several 8 1/2 x 11 spiral bound notebooks, and ultimately a Kindle2<br>

15.4 inch laptop with mouse and AC adapter<br>

Airline carry-on<br>

Shoulder or messenger bag preferred</p>

<p>I'm not asking for much<g>.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance - Mark</p>

<p>if you preferred shoulder, look lowepro stealth reporter bag <a href="http://products.lowepro.com/product/Stealth-Reporter-D550-AW,2048,20.htm">http://products.lowepro.com/product/Stealth-Reporter-D550-AW,2048,20.htm</a> or <a href="http://products.lowepro.com/product/Stealth-Reporter-D650-AW,2049,20.htm">http://products.lowepro.com/product/Stealth-Reporter-D650-AW,2049,20.htm</a></p>

<p>Dodo,</p>

<p>I've been looking at the Stealth Reporter D650 AW but couldn't find whether it's rated for airline carryon.<br>

Just looked one more time and found the airline symbol. Have you used this bag?<br>

Many Thanks - Mark</p>

<p>The Crumpler Karachi Outpost fits your specifications, except that it's a backpack rather than a messenger bag. Cavernous, well constructed and it's very well padded. The only 2 issues I have with mine are 1) the outside pockets are an afterthought, and almost inaccessible, and b) It's less convenient to quickly switch gear into and out of than a messenger bag, so I use it primarily for airline travel, and use a smaller, no-name shoulder bag when out shooting.</p>

<p>Take a look at the Osprey Transit (or Torque). They might satisfy what you are looking for. I have both and am very happy with the bags. <a href="http://www.ospreypacks.com/Packs/TravelCouriers/Transit/">http://www.ospreypacks.com/Packs/TravelCouriers/Transit/</a><br>

<p>I have found through trial and error that the Think Tank line of products is well designed, useful, comfortable, and very durable. I have several different bags from their line that I chose from depending on the outing and need of the job. <br /> <br /> http://www.thinktankphoto.com/ttp_product_ArprtUltrlght.php</p>

<p>Mark, i have lowepro vertex 200aw <a href="http://products.lowepro.com/product/Vertex-200-AW,2073,16.htm">http://products.lowepro.com/product/Vertex-200-AW,2073,16.htm</a> , it`s possible rated for airline carryon and 300aw too <a href="http://products.lowepro.com/product/Vertex-300-AW,2074,16.htm">http://products.lowepro.com/product/Vertex-300-AW,2074,16.htm</a> , but it`s no shoulder bag :-(<br>

my second bag is shoulder lowepro stealth d550 aw. it`s rated airline carry on, and d650 aw too. if you look links from my first answer, you can see symbol "Airline Carry On" by this products.</p>

<p>I recently purchased a Thinktank ChangeUp. Its not big enough for your needs but I like the waist belt - shoulder strap design very much. One thing I don't like is the lack of a zipper pull tab at each end. Nothing opposite to grab to when pulling the zipper on a full pack. I went to the local camera store with my gear to see which pack fit my needs.</p>

<p>I am very happy with a think tank urban disguise. I carry similar equipment with plenty of room and it has been great for airplane travel. The bag comes in several sizes.</p>
