Which bag to go for?

[Dean.]

Hey Everyone!
I'm after a new bag to carry my equipment in, and I'm on a budget of £50
My equipment which is going to go into the bag is as follows

Nikon D3100
Nikon Kit 18-55 Lens + Hood
Nikon 70-300mm Zoom + Hood+Case
Nikon 35mm Prime + Hood+Case
Shutter Release Cable
Battery charger plaug
Maybe a few other little bits and bobs (e.g small l.e.d torch for long exposure stuff)

I don't want a bagpack bag, more of a shoulder carry case?
Is there anyhting you guys would reccomend?
I've heard the name lowepro mentioned a couple of times?

Cheers!

Hi Dean

Have a look at the Lowepro Nova AW range - I've one (either 180 or 200 - will check) and I can get body with kit lens on, 70-300IS lens and other bits in aswell.

You should be able to pick up the 180 for under your budget and the 200 for just over your budget, have a good shop round

For an idea on price

I would suggest the Kata 467 (or some similar number). I have had this for a few years now and it has been brilliant. You can store a descent body and at least a couple of reasonable sized walk about lenses, a load of accesories, your lunch or other essentials and a laptop if you want. It comes with a rain cover and looks like a normal backpack so doesn't draw loads of attantion. For the price I think it is pretty unbeatable.

Hey mate, just had a look at those 2 lowepro bags and they look perfect
the 200 looks as if it will be a little bit too big for what I need (the fact it is designed to hold 2 x cameras + lenses, perhaps the 180 would be more suitable for what I need, and its under my budget

And if your quick, the 180 has been dropped to £40 today on Amazon (was £45 yesterday) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

I don't know this bag, but it is well within your budget and it can be used as shoulder bag and has a backpack option too.
