Crumpler Ben's Pizza/Million Dollar Home

[lakiluno]

Hey all

I'm interested in getting a Ben's pizza (or another similar sized shoulder bag). The 5 Mill. bag sold in the US seems to be the size of the medium or the large, but I don't know which. Does anyone have experience of these? I want to fit the kit lens (or a slightly bigger walkaround zoom to replace it), and at least 2 spaces for the flash and another lens/2 lenses.

I will probably get the grip in future.

I can tell you that the 5 Mil is just slightly bigger than the 4 Mil which is tiny. I can tell you that my Velocity 5, Crumpler 4 Mil, Domke F-5XB are all too small for your request. The Crumpler bags are smaller than what they say.

I see your bitter from your failed 4 mill :D

I was going to get the UK equivalent of a five mill, but I think I'll just get the BP L or XL and see how I get on :)

I was set on a $5M Home myself... until I saw it in the store. I took home the $6M Home as a result of that experience, and I sometimes wish that I had gone with the $7M... they are really not big bags at all.

I already have a rucksack that fits my gear, so I'm not looking for a big bag, as much as a walkaround handy bag for when I want easy access.
I'm probably going to go with the Ben's Pizza Large, unless anyone knows differently

Leo why dont you try looking in Black & Lizars in Shandwick Place they have Crumpler bags there.

Thanks


I saw a Pizza Large going cheap on Ebay, so I grabbed it. I think its about the size of the 5mill.

Leo, did you order the bag? Did it come yet?

I ended up with the 7 million dollar home. It's not a huge bag, but I just use it as a all round carry bag, love it. But it's not a big bag.
