Looking for a bag...

[Invertigo]

Hi all

I'm wanting to get myself a new, smaller bag. I have a Lowepro Slingshot 302 right now, and for carrying lots of gear its excellent. I can take all 4 of my lenses, 2 bodies and accessories in it.

However, I want something a little more...portable.

It needs to be able to hold my 7d with 1 lens fitted, as well as space for 2 more (17-55mm 2.8, 30mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8 examples), as well as having space for my laptop (11" MacBook Air, 1 thing my current bag doesn't fit properly)

Ideally I want a messenger style bag, and a removable insert would be a bonus, as I could us it for uni as well then.

Help appreciated, thanks!

Lowepro Classified 160AW?

Nice messenger bag and one I use myself when the Flipside 400 is too much.

Mine can hold;
- Canon 5D MKII Gripped with 70-200 f2.8L attached.
- Canon 24-70 F2.8L
- Canon 16-35 F2.8L
And at a squeeze a 50mm f1.4 on top of the 16-35.

Space in the front for a small netbook/ iPad.
If you want one for a larger laptop look at the Classified 200AW?

either the 10 or 30 will fit you - it really depends on your macbook air. try find one in store and see if it fits into the "accessories gap" next to the compartment where you put the camera and lenses

Ended up going for the Redsnapper Snapper Duo after reading a few reviews. Looks very unlike a camera bag, and seems to have plenty of room.

I'll report back when it arrives!
