Help finding a bag... how original

[oliton]

Hey all,

I have the gear you see in my sig.
I need to find a shoulder bag to carry it ALL at once, without being completely bloated which would make it really hard to reach a lens or change body.
I am currently looking at the LowePro Magnum AW and the Stealth Reporter 400.
If any of you have a similar setup and is using a bag like this, I would really appreciate some input. I am asking because I can't try those bags right now and I am about to order it online. I would rather stick with LowePro right now... and I need it to be a shoulder bag for ease of use.
Thanks for the answers.

That is a lot of stuff for any bag. I would recommend taking a look at the Crumpler 7MDH, I use it and love it.

My 'all at once' bag is a Lowepro Stealth Reporter D650AW, which I would say is very well suited to the use you intend. If you want to get all your gear in the bag, I think you may well need the big D650AW, but that's a decision you will have to make. Cambags (http://www.cambags.com) may help - you can see pictures of what others have crammed into their bags.

The Stealth Reporter D series are much more modern bags than the Magnum AW and similar, which were designed quite a few years ago. I'd think the Stealth Reporters are a better option, unless there's something you particular need that's found in the Magnum / Commercial range.

Wow, are you sure you don't need a truck?;)

I have half that amount in my bag, and it's not only full, it's too damn heavy.:lol:

a 7MDH is that big?

[oliton]

thanks for the insights. I didn't know (didn't check) that the stealth reporter lineup was going up to the 650. It looks like I am going to get it.
The Crumpler 7MDH is really, really nice looking, but is it easy to change a lens on the go with it?

Hunted the D650 AW... nowhere to be found in town. The only solution would have been to order it, and send it back if I didn't like it.
I got the Crumpler 7 MDH instead... Awesome bag!
I already went out twice for more than 4 hours with pretty much all my gears and the fit is perfect. On one of the outing, it was pouring rain. The gear didn't see any of it.
Thank you for suggesting it Paul.
