Bag Recommendations??

[ClickClick]

Ok, I am looking for YET another bag.

I want this bag to be the "carry all" bag. The one I pack everything into and travel with. Now, I have a couple of bags that I will use once I get there to pack just for short trips during the day. I will only need to carry a small amount. But I need one bag to haul this all around in.

This is what I have so far.

XT w/grip (but can come off as I am not a huge fan of it.
Tamron 28-75
Sigma 105mm
Sigma 10-20
50mm 1.8 (probably won't need)
Kenko Ext tubes (probably won't need)
430EX flash
380EX flash (probably won't need but better safe than sorry)
off camera flash bracket
LAPTOP COMPUTER w/cords, blank CDs, etc..
various supplies like hoods, remote, extra batteries, filters, memory cards, etc...

Now in the very near future I am also going to acquire :

second camera body (either XT or XTi)
telephoto lens (either 70-200 F4 or 100-400)
a fast 1.4 lens for nightclub photography

I think this will do it, but always to be safe a tad bit more room.

What would you suggest?

Oh yeah.. it would be a plus for it to have wheels for pulling in the airport.

Hi there

If you want to check it and with a lot of gear you don't have much choice.. it needs to be a rigid flight case.

We used to use these http://www.cabbagecases.com/ for transporting all the gear ; long lenses; lap tops and camera bags....Strong; got wheels; and you can put them in the baggage check without too much worry...At least I never had any mishaps...

cheers

I was looking for a bigger bag to carry my XT and XTi (both with battery grips,) along with my 420EX, 70-210, kit lens and Sigma 17-70 but I didn't want to spend a fortune. I ended up buying a Canon Professional Gadget Bag 1-EG from Adorama.

It won't hold as much as the description claims but it's a really nice bag for the money. I was able to configure it to hold my XTi with the Sigma lens mounted, the XT without a lens and all the rest of my gear. I still have space for some more lenses and there plenty of pockets. The only negative is the big Canon nameplate on the front. I would rather not advertise that it holds camera gear!

It's really well made and the weather flaps are a nice idea.

It's funny but the two camera bags I bought that were a great deal are both Canon bags. My other bag is the GB2400 with is incredibly priced at $24.95 at B&H. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=302290&is=REG&addedTroughType=search
