I am looking for suggestion on some bags that I would be able to carry my Macbook Pro 13 inch and my T2i with maybe a couple of lens and some accessories. Thanks in advance!

I use a Lowepro fastbpack 350 for my 15.4 laptop and 40D and I have room for several other lenses and my 430ex. Its the bigest of the fastpack line so you might be able to go down to a smaller size.

I like Tenba bags. I have a Tenba messenger mini, and it can fit a 13 inch macbook pro. If you want something bigger, you can get a small or large tenba messenger.

Domke F-804 Reporter's Satchel with the 720-230 insert would be good.

Thanks guys! Keep them coming. I found a few that I like so far, but just want to see what else it out there before I commit to purchasing one.

I just ordered a Kata DR-467i for my 7D + lenses and 15" Macbook Pro. The DR-466i will fit a smaller Macbook.

Think Tank "Urban Disguise 35" has a 13" laptop compartment plus a nice size camera compartment. I think it would hold your gear list with a lot of layout flexibility.

I'd happily go with the suggestion of the Think Tank UD35 or Tenba Messenger too.

The Think Tank occupies an incredibly small footprint for the space that is on offer which makes it ultra portable IMHO. It comes with a rain cover and the zipped closures can be secured.

I had the small Tenba Messenger. It will take up to a 15 inch MacBook Pro and gear. It has 24 pockets, a removable insert which will allow it to be used as an overnight bag and a base that is water resistant. The side of the back that is nearest you is made of a ' breathable ' material which makes carrying more comfortable but there is no rain cover and the bag cannot be secured.


Hope this helps

I'm looking at the LowePro Vertex series if you're thinking about a backpack.

Crumpler Cupcake Photo or Half Cupcake Photo. I'm trying to decide between the half photo and one of the Kata DR's mentioned by tech.geek.girl
