Well, it happened. My latest purchase has finished stuffing my Nova 5 bag. There is no room for much of anything else, besides a couple small items. maybe a filter or step rings. So, whats next?

I guess instead of a larger bag (or backpacks) perhaps I could look into another bag around the same size and have two.

What do you recomend? I can leave the 20D behind because that is more for astrophotography, but I do kind of want to keep my gear, at least stored, all in one place. I could use a larger bag or backpack or something for home storage and when I head out, I can load up the nova 5 with what I think I am going to need

When my Nova 5 filled, I moved to the LowePro Magnum.

I went to the Vertex 200 AW, however I generally use that as "base camp" and still use the Nova 5 for carrying what I need for a specific task.

I think you should consider the Domke F-2. It's wonderful to carry just about everything and then some. My Nova 5 is pretty stuffed, too. I use 2 bags because it's already too heavy to carry for the long haul. Think about the weight before buying a larger bag.

Thanks! I added this one to my wishlist. I think it would work as a home storage bag and I can just use my Nova 5 when I go out

I got to looking around and the Pelican 1614 has got my attention as well. looks like it would be good for home storage and if I ever go on a trip, I can just wheel the whole thing into the car and go :D

I have the 1514 and it is wonderful. If you need the bigger one, just remember you can't take that size as carry on. The 1614 is way bigger, stores a ton, though.
