Default Need a bag...help me please!

And I'm not talking the grocery kind either!

Basically I'm after a shoulder bag to carry my 40D and four lenses (see sig) and possibly a flash (pending purchase). I like the idea of the Slingshot 200 but I'm going trekking soon so will have a backpack and I can't see me carrying both. Can anyone recommend a bag that will carry all my equipment, is weather/water proof and doesn't cost more than £75/$150.

Thanks in advance!

I have a canon OTS bag that I'll sell you for $55 shipped it's in great condition just a few scratches on the metal clips. It'll easily hold your 40D, Lens, and more with side and front end storage compartments.

It's this same bag

PM if interested

Thanks for the offer, I'll give it some thought. Is it weather/waterproof?

I'd suggest you look for a waist/fanny type bag. IMO a backpack and a shoulder bag isn't the most comfortable combination for extended periods of time.

I'm not exactly sure. According to canon it's a "water resistant nylon" Never got caught up in bad weather with it and even if i did I always have a Pancho in my bag .

Let me know if you want pics of the actual bag I can post them after work.
