Yes
I was after a Crumpler Pretty Boy XXXL but it seems to be pretty much gone now (unless you want White or Red, which I don't), after a bit of research the replacement appears to be the 'Muffin Top', as always with Crumpler though, without some real-life 'money shots' of the bags loaded up and user reviews, it's almost impossible to know which one to go for.

Anyone got a Muffin Top? Mine would need to fit a Nikon D90 with 50mm 1.8, Sigma 10-20 and Sigma 50-150, the Pretty Boy XXXL seemed to be pretty much spot on as I want the smallest possible bag to fit that amount of gear in, but the new bags seem to sit between the old ones in terms of dimensions.

The Muffin Top 4000 or 5500 would appear to be the best options, not really sure though.

Thanks for the second link Shadow, I just bought it :thumbs:.

I have been after one of these as well and all the places I have tried have been sold out. I was only going to use ebay if one came up under £40 and from what I have seen not many have, not in the last few weeks at least.

Only had a quick look at this thread cos it reminded me I was after one and now I've got one :)

Cheers :thumbs:
