Recommend me a bag

scottduffy · 4 Jul 2017

Guys I'm going away in a few days and I'm looking for a bag that's going to fit my 5d mk2 with 24-70 and 135 lenses. Looking for ideally a shoulder type bag but nothing too big as it'll be to take to pool etc.

Not sure about the size of those lenses, but have a look at a Lowepro Nova 170.

Retrospective 10 will easily hold all that lot.

Cheers guys. I'll have a look at these now.

I've just bought a Crumpler Proper Roady 7500. Takes my 5Dmk4 with 24-105 fitted with space for another lens. Quite compact, I like it. Less padding than previous Crumpler's I've had less bulky as a result.

Had a Retrospective 10, but got one of these now http://www.thephoblographer.com/2015/10/29/review-tenba-cooper-13-slim-camera-bag/

They also make a standard, but the slim was big enough for my needs, rarely use it though as I much prefer a rucksack (not photo specific type)

Retro 7 will hold it all too. My favourite bag over the last 4 1/2 years

I have my own large rucksack but the thought of that strapped to my back in the middle of the Egyptian day has me sweating already. Thanks guys.

I have a Thule Perspektiv and it holds a bit more than you mentioned. Best bit is that it doesn't look like you are carrying a few thousand pounds of gear.
Great bag, comfortable and different to others.

Recently bought a Billingham 307, quite expensive even second hand but a very well made bag indeed. Takes my D500/D810 plus Tamron 10-24mm, Nikon 24-70 and nikon 70-200. Couldn't afford a new one but some good clean used ones are available from time to time. Bought mine from Ffordes.

Another vote for the retrospective 7... got it with me at the moment with a 5d3 with 16/35f4 attached and 135f2... lots of room for other stuff in fact I'm probably getting the 5 as well... already have the 10...
( Ithink I might have a slight problem)

Yes, your problem is you don't have the 5 yet

gerry s · 5 Jul 2017

Already ahead of that one... wondering what I can get to justify a 20....

scottduffy · 5 Jul 2017

Cheers guys. It's not room I'm after though it's a snug fit for two lenses and the body. I'm looking at the think tank ones just now and I'll see if I can get on via Amazon prime.

Just got the retrospective 6 and it takes a 5d3 with 16-35 f4 attached and a 24-105 without its little bag. Still room for battery's cards and bits and pieces and it comes within Ryanair's second carry on bag size of 35x20x20 to go under the seat.
