Hey all,

Well i've been very lucky this week and managed to add a 5d2 to my kit. Adding this has made me rethink my bags and i've come to the conclusion i need to get a small shoulder bag that can carry my 5D2, 17-40/24-105 attached and also a small prime (50F1.4/15mm/85F1.8) with a flash gun stuck in there somewhere too.

So far the only things that jump out at me are one of the lowepro toploaders or maybe a Domke/Crumpler bag?

Anyone want to chime in on this?

A bonus would be that it could also accomodate my 1d2 as the body on occasions when i take that over the 5d.

Depends what kind of materials you like. I have some bags I use all the time and others that just happen when I need them. I love my Domke F-802. I use that the most. For the small 5DII and 24-70 set up only, I take the F-5XB. For trips where I cannot put the camera down, I take the Kata bag. It holds the 5DII with 24-70 attached and the 70-200 2.8 IS. The only thing is, most of my bags are without grips.

Domke F3X sounds like it'd fit your needs quite well.

You should take a look at Crumpler's line :)

No need for something that big. For a 5D2 with ONE of the two lenses attached, you could get it all into a 5 MDH. It would be tight with both lenses AND a flash, but you could definitely get the 5D2 and both lenses. Extremely tight -- but that's how I pack my kit.

If you want more room, the 6MDH would be completely sufficient.

Yep. It'd be perfect.
