Yes
Another bag question - having had 3 bags in 6 months, it is about time I got the right one...
I want one I can access while wearing it, so a backpack is out, and I didn't get on with the slingshot, so am now looking at a Crumpler, but can't find a site that gives me an easy-to-understand idea as to what they will take.
I have a 30d, a 70-200 2.8IS, a 17-55, a 10-22, a 50 1.4, plus a 430 flash. Rarely, I may need to take another body (currently a 300d, but it may get replaced by a 40d or 5d at some stage) and a second flash, plus the usual gubbins.
Any suggestions which to look at, or where to look - the Crumpler site is too much hard work for me to wade through..
Thanks,
Steve
 
I'm sure Crumpler would sell lots more if they just gave easy to understand details and clear pictures. Getting details on the bags is a right p.i.t.a.!
 
I have a Geekstar. I can get a pic of mine with my 30D with grip with Tamron 17-50 on for you if you like. There should be enough room in the bottom compartment for a 70-55 and a flash, and from room at the top for 2 more lenses. Fitting in another body might be possible if I don't attach the lens tot he first body.

I will agree with that RobertP but they are damn nice bags, way over engineered and nice quality materials though. I really like them, its just finding one thats suits!!

This is the Crumpler December Quarter that I have, dont think its a current model anymore but you can still pick them up from various places last time i looked.

I have a small Crumpler bag I use all the time. I'd like something similar but a little larger. Finding out which model that would be is just depressing!
 
chillimonster - that was the one I have been looking at pictures of, as it seems to be big enough, but doesn't look too big. I don't have a laptop, so don't need to carry one, but just want to be sure that all the stuff will fit, and if not all of it is being taken out, that the bag will still hold what's in it safely.
Time to get it right this time, but as RobertP says, they might well sell more if the website wasn't so 'clever'

Remove the front flap inside the front pocket to reveal

A secret compartment for more stuff.

With the camera in position on its side so I can grab it on the grip and shoot immediately. There is room for a lens or the flash or a body once i take the dividers out.

The bottom holds the rest of the stuff, 550EX with Off shoe sync cord and diffuser. Could jiggle it more when i get a 70-200 so it fits in there no problem.
