Best WalkAround BAG & STRAP for 5D Street-Photography

[jon_kobeck]

I still havent beeable to find an ideal bag for walk around street photography

for my Canon 5D. I dont carry more then 2 lenses, but the camera is heavy. Any

recomendations ?

If you carry a lot of stuff, I like the Lowepro slingshot. It is a shoulder pack that swings around so that you can access your camera in front of you without taking off your pack. If you travel light, I prefer a Lowepro chest harness w/ holster camera case and belt pack w/lens case. This way you have instant access to your camera. The holster camera cases come in many sizes, the one I have can fit my D80 w/300mm zoom lens. Lowepro are excellent quality.

What lens?

I like ThinkTank Photo for bags and belt systems: its all designed by working phtographers

and two former lead designers at LowePro.

My walk around lense is te 24-70 2.8L and its big and heavy

[jon_kobeck]

I really like the Crumpler 5 Million dollar bag. I only carry max 2 lenses incuding one mounted andno speedlight. I like the idea of easily gabbing the camera and shooting. Do you gus thing the 5d and 28-70 mounted will fit ?

[bennett_richards]

I use a ThinkTank Urban Disguise 60. A 50 would also do.

 

None better built out there....

Bennett: I just finished up placing my order for 2 Think Tanks. I got the digital Holster 20 for my light and easy walk around town days and the Urban Disguise 30 for when I need to pack a couple extra lenses. The 50 seemed like more then I need. It looks like the 30 will hold the 5D and 28-70 mounted plus 2 more lenses. Do you think it will be too small ?

[jon_kobeck]

LOL, I changed my order to the Urban Disguise 50, After looking more closely, I think the extra space will come in handy

UD50 is a good choice if you need extra space. I have one. Only problem is that I ended up putting in more than I need most of times. It tends to get way too heavy and my shoulders get sore about a while. I now use it as a transport bag only. My favorite walk around bag is TT Changeup. I have 5D, 24-70L, 16-35L and 70-300DO in there. Depending on the situation I replace one of lenses to 135L. I use as a belt pack with shoulder harness support. I can carry my gear practically all day long without feeling much weight. I use it as a chest pack when I'm in a crowded places. You should give a try when you have a chance.
