Bags - size matters (Kata D-3N1-10)

[FrostQ]

I'm looking for my first backpack/sling bag for my Xsi...i'm planning on carrying 2-3 lens and a flash around...the KT D-3N1-10 should be enough to fit everything in...but should I spend the extra and get the bigger KT D-3N1-20 ??

I'd recommend the 20. I'm not sure you'll be able to get the body, 2-3 lens and a flash in there unless you're using the top compartment to store that equipment as well.

at the least the 20....

I agree, the 20 is probably a better size than the 10 if you're mounting longer lenses for the quick draw.

i have the 20. And it can fit all my equipment. it can easily store the 70-200 f4 inverted hood, my kit lens, nifty fifty, and will also fit my 450d with grip with the 24-70 f2.8 hood inverted. i just didnt like the 30 it was just way to big.

Frost you can pick them up at Henrys. I picked mine up last week for 79.99

i did too..during boxing week.

they are back up to $99 though..I am sure you can ask for a deal.

does Henry's usually let you haggle?

and is that the price for the 3N1-10 or 20?

I bought this pack today, the 10, not 20. It seems pretty rugged and well built. Regret not buying something bigger though. Not sure how they would deal with it if I tried to return the bag. Like I say, it's really well built, there is enough room in the bag, but access to the different compartments can be tricky because of the quick access system.

you find the right sales guy... yes.

There is quite a bit of margin in the bags...from Kata and Lowepro...

When henry's had them on sale during boxing week...they were still make a few dollars.

I ended up picking up a Lowepro Flipside 200 + 50mm f1.8 yesterday at Downtown Camera...the sales there was very friendly and very helpful...i'd HIGHLY recommend them if anyone is looking for gear/acc.

I found that the kata 3N1 wasn't as comfortable as the other bags i tried on...and the compartments were actually difficult to get to...I found out that I dont' think I'd ever use the sling...so I just might as well buy a reg. backpack style bag...
