[wegotitugetit]

im looking to get a crumpler side bag but with work being busy i cant get in to the local shops untill new year

so my question is what bag would be best i mainly carry a canon 50D now with a 28 -135 IS lens and 70 -200 F4 L lens plus grip and usual memory cards etc


dont want to spend lots on this as it is a spare

Crumpler are nice but they aren't very cheap. Might be worthwhile to look at other brands too. There are some nice bags that cost less. I think domke, lowepro and tamrac would be worth a look.

I have a hard time getting past Crumpler's tres-chic web site and goofy model names.

I have a 5MDH and love it. Very similar setup....

Funny, thats exactly what attracts me to them, well and the bags themselves.

[wegotitugetit]

This made me laugh. They are unique, you have to give them that. I like the quality of there stuff but I feel we pay a real premium for there stuff. The names they come up with are really over the top. Except they don't name their camera straps. They could have named the red one I bought the domestic depute. I'm pretty sure anybody married who bought one of theses was in danger of being strangled with it!!

Well, the neck straps actually are called "Industry Disgrace"...

If you are looking for the Crumpler MDH's, consider buying from eBags.com as bing is having a 20-30% cashback on them.

I have the Crumpler 7MDH. I have the following inside. Im sure if I moved things around I could fit a flash and mabie another small lens. Look on E-bags or Amazon. Or keep an eye out on this site, I see them for sale from time to time. I took mine on a two week trip to Greece this year and it was perfect for me.

Gripped 40D
70-200 F4 L IS
Nifty-Fifty
Sigma 18-50
extra battery w/ charger
2 Pelican CF card cases
Olympus P&S with Charger.

Hola! It depends on how you want to carry it but honestly, I'd say for that setup Crumpler is out unless you plan to add some more. The 5MDH is too small with the grip and the 6MDH is a bit too large IMO for just that. honestly, throw in a flash or another lens then it won't feel so empty. Aside from that I personally would suggest Lowepro next pending what and how you want to carry it. I've had a few bags myself and you can check out my reviews.

I have a 50D gripped, 17-55, 55-250, nifty 50, 580exII in a 6MDH and it still has lots of room. I reckon you can put the 70-200 sideways in the 6MDH if its too tall and you can still fit everything else in there without it being a tight squeeze. The only thing that I don't like about my crumpler is that it doesn't "crumple" even if there is nothing in it. They are kind of molded to shape and will stay that way no matter what you put / don't put in there.
