Can anyone recommend me a good bag?

[CarlukeDave]

I currently have a Lowepro Micro Trekker 200, it's great if I'm out and about, but doesn't hold all my kit now.

I'm looking for a shoulder bag that will take my 40D, 350D, Sigma 17-70mm, Tamron 70-300mm, nifty fifty, 18-55mm kit lens, speedlite 430ex, as well as various filters, chargers etc

Thanks for the replies

Markta, that looks like a cracking bag, but I'm not really after another rucksack.

Janice, I like the look of the pro12, that could be the one.

I've got a Domke F1x (little bit bigger) which will take all that and more!

I can get all my current kit in mine, including ringflash, 100-400L 70-200L f4 IS 17-40L 12-24 Sigma, 50mm f1.8, 100mm Macro, Ext tubes, 5D and 30D, 580EX II filters, batteries, Spare Cards and still has more room! But you don't want to carry it too far!

Look at the Tamrac range, very good quality!

I have a Lowepro slingshot 200AW and it is great - only gripe is that there is nowhere to attach a tripod.

Shoulder bag - Lowepro Stealth Reporter - I've got the 650AW. Of if you've got a lot of kit - Hama Defender series is very sturdy and reasonably priced.

I have a crumpler shoulder bag, cant fault it. They are all about £30 cheaper on amazon so check them out

It's a bit daft to ask this question, because most people will give a different recommendation, which could make your choice even more difficult.

For what it's worth, I use a Lowepro stealth reporter (AW 500), which will carry 2 pro bodies, half a dozen lenses, and more! I pack a top loader in as well - very useful, as you can carry your camera anonymously, and safely around your neck, and it's easy to get at.

i have a tamrac exped 7 (i think) and it's pretty decent.

I gave my Tamrac back after it was replaced twice because it fell apart.

I would recommend Lowepro now. I had a rucksack and slid doewn the road off the motorcycle - the bag got a bit torn. The gear was fine inside. They replaced the rucksack and have it on a mannequin at shows now, together with my riding gear (the least I could do after they swapped the rucksack for a new one!) The replacement hasn't got a mark on it, 5 years down the line.

Take a look at the Nova AW series too. All the Lowepro bags have excellent design features.
