Folks,

I already have 2 bags (crumpler muffin top 7500 and Tenba Messenger) but due to recent purchases, I don't think I can now safely and /or comfortably carry it over one shoulder.

The Kit

7D - No Grip with 15-85 f3.5-f5.6 usually fitted
10-22 f3.5-4.5
50mm 1.8 mk II
100m F2.8 L IS USM Macro
70-200 F4 L IS
1.4 x TC
430 ex II flash
Spare batteries
Various filters
Rocket blower

The requirement

I guess I have to really move to some kind of backpack this time to lug that lot about the place (plus maybe a gorillapod and a tripod of course) with any kind of comfort.

I guess my questions would be :-

1) What bags will reasonably fit that lot that are as light / small as possible

2) Are there any bags that feature easy access to the camera without having to take the backpack off and put it somewhere to get it out?

3) Anything "stylish" that doesn't look like a camera bag (I doubt any crumplers would fit)

Thanks in advance for your advice....

Ok very quick look around at the suggestions..

(Thanks folks for the super fast responses)

Kata3n1 30 looks nasty :( and the reviews all say its not usable as a sling when fully loaded due to the weight ) but probably would fit everything and could still be used as a backpack:thumbs:

Computrekker, looks kinda interesting, not sure I need the computer bit:thumbs::thumbsdown: undecided, would need to look at it

Flipside 300 isn't big enough, but the 400 looks interesting :-) :thumbs:

Any other suggestions for something different maybe?
 
Can't recommend any that don't look like a camera bag, but check out the Lowepro Magnum - awesome kit bag for the levels of gear you are looking for.
 
honest them flipsides are great bags ....extremely comfortable and also you can take the shoulder straps down - spin it round ya waist and you've got a little work top it saves you putting it down in the dirt!

Thats the kind of innovative feature I really like, I am reading the various reviews around the web. This looks promising :thumbs:

Never judge a book by its cover :p...

I've yet to read/see those/any reviews about the "weight & sling use" I dont find it a problem - but then again each to their own I s'pose..
 
I like my 3in130 for travelling etc, I don't wear the straps in the X shape, I just wear them normally. Holds a hell of a lot of gear, and as said can put more in the top bit. It's not my every day bag of course though..
