Crumpler 5/6/7 million?

[babekha_2]

I have a gripped Xti, 18-55 IS, 50mm, 430ex flash and possibly getting a 50 - 250 lens in the future. Which million dollar home bag fits all that?

[Richgsr]

I'm thinking about the 5MDH. I saw one at the store (going to order mine online, it's much cheaper) and it looks like it will fit your gear fairly (including the 50-250), but you won't really have room for much more.

I would go with either the 6 or 7 if I were you as they have substantially more room. I have a Lowepro Flipside 300 to carry all my gear and want the 5 as a walkaround bag for just a body+lens, a flash, and maybe another lens.

quoting myself from another thread:
;7017203']+1 on the 6 MDH. It holds everything I own right now: 450D, 18-55IS w/ hood, 50mm w/hood, 28-135IS w/hood, charger, sd cards, external card reader, manuals, rocket blower, lens caps, extra filters, small notepad and pen... with room for maybe a flash and some extra batteries and other small items...

[ooo]

6 million dollar home would fit all that and leave room to fit 2 more medium size lenses or a large one.

I can fit 40d + 17-40L gripped | 50mm f/1.8 | 70-200 f/2.8 | 430ex | 100mm all in a 6mdh.

do you want to stack any lenses? or do you want each lens to have their own little home? You could probably do a 5mdh but everything would be pretty tight. If you wanted a little bit of growing room, I'd say the 6mdh would be a better choice if you wanted to not jam pack the bag. Have you checked out their website? they've got a good video showing what exactly they fit in the bags.

My 6MDH fits my 70-200 2.8L, Sigma 30mm, Sigma 10-20mm, and my 20D and has some room to spare. Thats not including a handful of batteries and memory cards, etc in the pockets.

There are three main pockets that can each fit a lens the size of a 70-200 comfortably, or two smaller lenses. Although I think if you put lenses in all three pockets, things would be crammed pretty tightly. Two pockets with lenses + 1 with a flash or body works though.

Here's a link (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6821314&postcount=3) to show how I fit everything in my bag.

The 7 is too big, the 5 is too small. Your best bet is the 6. It will all you have and more when you buy more gears. I have the 7 and when it's loaded, forget it, it's too heavy.. good thing that I am 6ft 2ins and about 240lbs of muscles. :)

Definitely the 6 MDH! It's possible to stuff everything in the 5 MDH, but it would be really, really tight and it would be a pain when you reached in to pull something out.

+1. Definitely get 6M. The 5M is actually very small.

I agree with the 6 MDH. You could get away with the 5 MDH, but you would need to lose your grip.

[MattMoore]

7MDH isn't as big as one would think.

I think its a fantastic bag and just right for 2 spare lenses, and one mounted on a body (esp a gripped body).

Mine has a 70-200L f/2.8 IS, 5DMk2 w/ 24-10L mounted, 85 f/1.8, 1.4x TC, and a bunch of accessories (rocketblower, CF cards, charger, remote release, 12 AA batteries, etc) and I still have 1 extra lens slot open (430 could easily fit)

[Thordic]

I'm a pretty big guy too, about the same size as the above poster, and I think the 7MDH would be heavy fully loaded. If I have my 6MDH fully loaded, and I carry it around all day, its light enough so that it doesn't bother me, but heavy enough so that I think if it were much heavier it would be a PITA to carry around all day.

I was wary that the 6MDH might be too small, but it seemed like the perfect sized day bag once it arrived.

If I need to carry around all my gear, I'll use my CompuTrekker.

How do you know how big I am?

And yes, the 7MDH home is heavy fully loaded; depending on what you put in it.

I meant mufutau55 :)

Oh ok, I was wondering.

Just for reference, I'm 6'0" & 265 of (mostly) muscle...but I'm puttin' up 300+. So I guess we are about the same size then.

I just wanted to make sure you weren't that guy who keeps looking at me in the gym (not that there is anything wrong with that...I'm just not that way). :p

No need to fear, Crumpler Man is here!!!

6MDH hands down would be the best bet and most comfortable. The 5MDH would be getting into a tight squeeze especially since it doesn't come with that many dividers. It should fit it all but they'll be touching and that's all it will fit. If you have a chance try them out but if not I'd say go ahead with the 6MDH.

What makes you 'Crumpler Man'? If its shear volume of products owned, then I should be called, "useless light modifiers Man".

[_aravena]

And it will be so ;) Now where's that TF when we need them?

[T. VO]

I've got the crumpler 6 mil on it's way. For light travel, wanted a bag that wasn't too big or too small and the six seems to fill that need. If I need to take everything, I'm using a backpack (Kata 3N1-20).

BTW, is there a new 2009 model of the million dollar bags? Saw this on flickr..

That might be why they offered a 40% sale to get rid of all their old bags.

[Thordic]

If you were really Crumpler Man, you'd have pictures of your own Crumpler Robot somewhere.

[_aravena]

There are special edition colors out now, that's all. I do. But I prefer my Crumpler Dude over the Robot.

I've seen them made into fridge magnets.

[_aravena]

Yeah, the wife won't allow that and i have nothing else metal of mine to stick one too. I used to have one on my desk but now it's crammed with a bit more than use to.

[SnlpeR]

any more info on the new crumpler bags?
i was gonna get a 7mdh for when i want to lug the laptop around

currently have the 6mdh

[L1TTLEgreenMAN]

I have the 5mdh and I agree with a lot of the other comments above. Its just too small. def get the 6mdh.

Even though I haven't seen one in person, I'm going to have to agree. I just got my 6 MDH and the first thing I thought was, "Wow, it's pretty small". I bought the 6 cause I only wanted to bring the neccesities and it does exactly that but I bet the 7 would be just as fine as well. The good thing is the 6 will limit how much I'll carry at one time so it'll stay lighter compared to the 7. :lol:

[_aravena]

The 7MDH is quite large. I knew the 6MDH would be the size I needed and actually wanted in a daily bag, but it's not tall enough. I typically leave my 70-200 attached and as such need a bag that accommodates that. Although I only use the 7MDH for events and weddings, the same principle follows.

[rhyno]

i just ordered the 7mdh about 10min ago, and my mom has the 6 but for what im wanting to do with it the 6 is just a little small, so i guess we'll see

[canonnoob]

I just picked up a 6mdh in black :)

Ill be carrying a 70-200 2.8, 40d, 18-55, 85 1.8, and 50 1.8 and possibly an external flash.
