I feel its time I bought a new bag I have a crumpler XL at the moment but could do with something a little bit larger I dont want something too big but do need a bit more space any advice on a suitable bag and where to buy from
Cheers Bob
 
If you have been happy with your crumpler why not get another? I have a Pretty boy XXXL which is my most used bag and I believe they are on close out at the moment so there could be some good deals to be had.Mine takes the following at a squeeze---40D gripped with an 18-50 f/2.8,Sigma 10-20 f/2.8,Sigma 50-150 f/2.8,2xTC,430ex Speedlite + polarisers,cloths and bits.

lowepro vertex aw 100? i have this and its a great bag with oodles of room in it at the moment i have in it a nikon d80+grip fitted, sigma 70-300, sigma 18-200, nikkor 18-55vr, 3 uv filters all different sizes, 3 spare batteries nissin di6622 speedlite with mini stand lens pen cleaning stuff in a leather pouch, my charger, all cables (usb and video) point and shoot, my sony vaio and my manfrotto 190xb and head, this bag also has a rain cover which is very useful if you get cought out by the weather on walks.
 
The Pretty Boys are being replaced by the Muffin Top. I got a Pretty Boy XL last week and have been blown away by the quality. I also have a Lowepro Slingshot 200AW and the difference in quality is noticable. Stick with what you know and go for Crumpler again.
 
Oh yeah, Redsnapper. Forgot about him. There is a good review of one of his bags in the review section and very good it looks too.
 
Redsnapper do their own brand bags too? I just recently got a lowepro slingshot 200 and its doing its job well for me, just the right size for what I got but if I get any more glass then defo going to need a upgrade.

i'll second the slingshot 200aw i have just got one and apart from my 70-200 its holding all my kit nicely..
 
Slingshot aw300 for day to day use and a tamrac adventure 8 for when i need the the kitchen sink.
 
Thanks for all the advice since I am off today going to have a look in Jessops see if they have any in but like the look of the slingshot so that looks fav at the moment
Cheers Bob
 
Does anyone know when Crumpler Muffin Top bags are going to be available in the UK (sorry for semi-hijack)? Spoke to Warehouse Express and they have no ETA.
 
Have you also considered the Kata range of bags?

They are quite pricey but superbly made and designed. Only downside is that I don't think Jessops stock them, for a quick peeky..

Kata bags are distributed mainly to the big mail order companies, but a local independent may stock them ;)
 
Thinking of the slingshot 200aw @£47. delivered I think this seems a good price unless anyone knows better before I order
Cheers Bob
 
Thanks for all the advice I have now ordered the slingshot 200 aw should be here by Friday
Cheers Bob:thumbs:
 
I have a Slingshot 200 and its pretty good.
Dont forget about the top zip pocket, holds my Jobo SLR-Zoom with space for something else.
