which bag to choose?

[leila_griffiths]

<p>I have just upgraded my equipment and my current bag is now too small....I am female and slender so I dont want anything to bulky....and i usually carry my equipment all day on weekends<br>

I currently have the canon 40d<br>

canon 430 speedlite that I leave in its pouch<br>

canon 135mm f2L that I leave in its pouch<br>

canon 50mm f1.8<br>

sigma 10-20mm<br>

I also have a tripod but i dont mind carrying that seperately<br>

I would prefer a rucksack but it has to have a cover like the lowepro bags do just it case there are slight showers any suggestions</p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>

<p>Bags are such a personal choice, and while I really like Tamrac bags, I think you might be looking for something like a Billingham, or Lowe Pro also has a new series of bag.</p>

<p>Thinktank makes many nice bags, probably the best quality bags I have seen. I also like the Tamrac velocity bags and a few Kata bags as well. Its hard to find just the right bag so I end up with far to many.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.cambags.com">http://www.cambags.com/</a> is a very good place to see many different bags with real camera gear in them. </p>

<p>I have a LowePro FastPack 200 that I like a lot. Kata has the 3N1-20 which isn't too big, but I think their bags dedicate too much space to padding which seriously limits the amount of gear you can carry for a given size bag.</p>
