Looking for a New Bag Since Mine is Getting Packed

[xzombiex]

So right now I have a Tamrac Adventure 7 and with the gear I carry in the bag, it's getting pretty full and I think it's time (again) to upgrade to a bigger bag.

Here is a list of what I carry in my bag:
Canon 20D + Grip and Tamron 28-75mm mounted, hood reversed.
50mm f/1.8
430EX
Six BP-511A batteries
Eight AA Batteries
Canon battery charger
Lens cloth
Blower
Pocket Guide
BGM-E2
Tamrac Lens Strap
5 or 6 CF Cards


I was looking at either the Canon 200EG but I've read that with a battery grip, it's a really tight fit. I'm trying to keep the price reasonable ($100-$150 range).

Any help is helpful thanks!

Crumpler 6MDH should fit that stuff easily.

What are you looking for as far as type? Shoulder, Sling, Backpack, Holster, etc.?

Take a look at Domke's F-2, F-4AF or F-6 bags. The F-1X holds a ton (literally; mine was over 35 lb. last I weighed it, including 3 bodies)

I'm afraid bags are like lenses... one is never enough!

[Wilt]

Sometimes it is better to divide, to conquer! For example, longer lenses in one bag, shorter lenses in another. Or all lenses in one bag, all lighting equipment in another. That way you leave behind what I feel is likely not to be needed for a particular outing. You can always schlep both bags if you need, one on each shoulder, which is better on the spine and back muscles, too. 80% of the population has back problems at some point in their lives, so an ounce of prevention is worth Kilograms of pain medication.

I like the backpack style camera bags more.

I have the canon backpack that you listed above and it fits my 20D + Grip just fine. It's defiantly a full fit, but it'll hold:

20D + Grip w/ 70-200mm f2.8L
24-70mm L
Hoods for lenses listed above
Sekonic 358
580EX
CF card case thingy
Off Shoe Cord
Whibal (pocket size)

All that fits snug in the padded divider part, leaving room for batteries, more CF cards, Filters and other stuff like that in the zip up compartments.

I've got a ton of AA batteries, a couple extra camera batteries, 4 77mm filter cases, a large rocket blower, Canon battery charger, and a load of other stuff I'm probably forgetting in those compartments with room to spare.

...and it's only $50!!

I'm happy with mine :)

Check out the stickie at the top of this forum then check out cambags.com. Also, let us know what you're looking for.

I only have one actual camera bag which is when I have events. My last 3 everyday bags have been DIY bags. Check my reviews.
