1 Tamron 28-75
1 Canon 420 EX flash

Do you want a backpack to take in the field or just a storage bag to put all your gear away at home?

I have the Lowepro Rover AW II, i love it, so much support for trekking, very comfy, even with a bit of gear in it.

What type of bag do you like??? eg, topload pro bag, backpack or messenger bag.
I have the Tamrac Velocity 9 and it should be able to fit the equipment you listed.

My suggestion is to go to a site like Tamrac or Lowepro and look at the bags. They also list what the bags can hold, eg large lens, medium lens, body and flash.

For that gear, I'd recommend the Lowepro Mini Trekker 100. I have one and am considering buying another one. It's a small backpack thats very easy to carry and you can buy for around $35. Here's how I typically load mine for a casual day. I love this bag, as long as I don't need to take ALL my stuff, then I have to lug the bigger bag as well.

Lowepro Mini Trekker 100 looks like the bag I need. I have a one right now but is only big enough to hold the Rebel, 18-55 on the body and the 50mm F1.8. Thanks

Oops, I called it a mini and its a micro trekker.. You definitely can't get a mini for $35.

B&H has the micro100 for $45

Either the price on them has gone up or I'm remember incorrectly what I paid for mine. I know that Best Buy sells them for around $60 though. $45 from B&H seems pretty reasonable.

I got the Lowepro Nova 5 AW recently and love it. Lot of space, although that is filling fast and nice design.

i just ordered the canon backpack and it has good reviews at FM so i figured it was worth a shot for 35 bucks HA
besides its the same as the tamrac expedition 3 or 4..and those go for 100+
yes its NOT as nice..but its def. worth 35 bones :)
