I want a bag to carry my gear with me on trips and situations where I need more than one lens. I'm looking at the SligShot 100. Will it fit :
Nikon D70s
50mm 1.8
18-70 ( 75,5 mm long )
sigma 70-300 ( 122 mm long )
and maybe a flash unit ?
Would the camera fit with the 70-300 ? And would it fit with the 18-70 attached and the 70-300 somewhere else ?
Could someone post pictures with a similar setup ?

I think that would be pushing it for a 200AW much less a 100AW. Then again some are more comfortable packing it in tight that others are. Thats coming from a 200AW owner.

Do you think the backpack, the mini trekker classic, would be better ?

I like the sling as you can get stuff in and out of it while keeping it on the sholder and just swinging it under the left arm.

I have a 100 that fits a XTi, Sigma 17-70, Sigma 10-20, Canon 50 1.8 and the normal extras. But, that is it, there is no spare room. You could fit the camera in with the 70-300 attached but the problem is it would be hard to get that in the bag with any other lens on the camera. You'd be forever swapping lenses just to get everything to fit. And, no room for a flash.
Get the 200, or look to another line of bags.

But what is yours? Looks too big to be a 100. Is it the 200 you have for sale?

Oh yeah, it's the 200. Someone mention the 200 so i went off that. The 100 be way to small for that kinda gear.

I think the Tamrac Velocity 7 can fit all those. It maybe a little tight but if you want a small slingbag type.
The Lowepro Micro trekker 200 will also fit all of that with plenty of room left.

I decided to go with the SlingShot 200 and I'm more than happy with it, fits everything with room to spare. Thanks everyone !
