Looking for a bigger bag

[OsRuS]

New user, Hi guys.
I seem to be addicted to buying addons to my 300d :D , the problem now is my kit will not fit in my Lowepro Nova 3 :x .
Any sugestions for any other brands or should I just go for a bigger Lowepro?

I too had that problem, not to mention wanting it to be a little easier to carry, then a shoulder bag. So when the Tenba DB series was recommended to me, I took a look. I eventually bought the DB-17C, which is a little bigger then I needed, but I am very happy with it, with 2 exceptions. 1) there are no provisions for a tripod, (fixed this with a homade tripod case out of cordura that clips ti the side of the bag) 2) their workstation, it would be nice if there was a velcro strap so that when you open the bag it goes with the flap instead of covering everything. i have carried this bag with all of my camera gear (except tripod/monopod) all day and found it to be very comfortable, and the side entry flaps extremely convenient. I would wholeheartedly recommend this series of bag to anyone.

I ordered this bag this week, wont' receive until next.

I have a 17" powerbook that I'd like to slide in there. Was interested in if you carry a notebook as well?

I have two bodies, multiple flashes and just a couple lenses but I'm adding to my lense collection quickly.

The tripod issue is a drag, so can you snap a picture of how you solved it?

Jhankins,

I have only carried my laptop in the bag when i have traveled long distance (coast to coast) and then took it out and left it in my room. My laptop is a 15" Dell.

It is going to take me a little while to be able to get the picture of my tripo/monopod bag for you.

My biggest concern when buying this bag was would it be big enough, for in the past the bags I have bought previously, I did not have the foresight to test fit. I had the same problem with this one, so I bought the bigger one (DB-17C) and boy did I ever get more then I bargained for.

Yes. Then you use the tag before the full address followed my at the end

The easiest way to work it out is go to a post with a picture in it and hit the quote button and look how it is done.
