Looking for slime messenger style bag

I would like to fit,

Sony A6000,
55-210 Zoom Lens,
30mm Macro lens,
19mm Lens
35mm Lens,
60mm Lens.
2 batteries.

One lens attached, which needs room for four Sony and Sigma lenses. As the camera and lenses are not huge I should get away with something smaller.

I've looked in local photo shops but they have nothing I'm after.
 
Tenba Cooper 13 Slim or slightly wider Think Tank Retrospective 10

I have both, not completely decided which one I prefer, leaning towards the Tenba, but neither are too bulky
 
Anoyher vote for a think tank retrospective, I've had the 7 for 4 years as my everyday bag. You might want to pick a different size but mine looks as new as I got it.
 
Thank for the help all.

I need to see the bags that cost £150+ I don't mind spending 30 quid on a chance.

Need something that will hold a bit more than that Sony bag Dan :)
 
Tenba Cooper 13 DSLR or slim. Quality bag.

Fits my Fuji xe-2, 27mm, 18-135mm, 100mm macro, 35mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.7, oh and my laptop. Or alternatively the Canon SLR with the 300mm f4 and 1.4x TC. Just sayin ;)

Wex have a lot of the bags if you're anywhere near there. You can always buy them both and return the one you decide against.

I chose based on looks and got lucky with how good it is I guess. YouTube is good for bag reviews too.

If you are anywhere near Cambridgeshire you are welcome to give my bags the once over.

Relying on 30£ worth of bag to hold and protect 1000+£ worth of camera gear, ok (n)

I've got a great lowepro bag that holds my 7D + lenses. It cost £25 from ebay. What's wrong with that? Nothing! If the bag is good what does it matter what it cost (y)

Yes but apparently I misunderstood the post. It was not 30£ but 30£ more :)

Have you got one? If so, how many lenses can you fit?

What I carry in mine, sorry for phone pics.

Without the ringflash I could fit a couple more lenses etc.

Same a mainstream fishing rods. They make loads and companies add their Logos. I think I heard once there was only 3-4 places in China that made them. Not the handmade rods. Just ones you can get off the shelf.

A good friend of mine works for a Chinese fishing tackle/outdoor equipment manufacturer.:D

Thanks for doing that :)

Yep it's dslr, you probably could fit all your kit in there and have enough room for a couple of pork pies too!

I think only Zziplex and Century are manufactured in the Uk now, and they are top of the tree where sea rods are concerned...but they cost!! Many years ago I worked at Hardys, rod making.

Hardys, Bruce Ashby and so on make Rods. The stuff you get off the shelf is all made in only a few places.

Bruce died last year. :(

He used to use a lot of Harrison blanks, made in Liverpool. I build on them too. ;)
