Hey guys!

At the end of the year I will be purchasing a new camera kit to replace my current one and I was wondering what camera bag I should get with it.

My soon-to-be (hopefully!) kit:
Canon 7D or 60D (depends on how much money I have at the time) (would like some opinion on this too if possible please)
Canon 24-105mm f4L USM
Canon 70-200mm f4L USM
Canon 50mm f1.8 II
Canon 430EX II

I am deciding between:
Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home
Domke F-6
Kata DC-445

After I upgrade to this kit, I most likely will not be upgrading again/buying more lenses for maybe 3-4 years.

I am open to any other suggestions.

Thanks! :D

Maybe the ThinkTank Retrospective 10.

Maybe the TT Retro 20 instead? He can have his 70-200 mounted on-camera. And it'd be slightly less tight?

I was thinking about the ThinkTank, but I was kinda put off by the price of these things.. $200 for a bag + shipping! :cry: Do you guys know where I can get it cheaper? I don't mind used, but must be able to ship to New Zealand!

Yeah, the R20 will work, too.

Although he does have the 70-200 f/4, so it won't stick out of the R10 as much as the f/2.8 version of that lens (the f/2.8 version is 1 inch longer than the f/2 version). The R20 might be overkill.

I like the Retrospective 10 more than the 20, not just because of price, but because the R20 is way to deep!

I believe you can still fit 70-200 2.8 mounted into Restrospective 10 (70-200 F4 for sure), 20 is way too high and sort of disproportional to my liking.

The author replaced 20 with 10 as found 20 too big.

Since you are looking into shoulder bags, here's my suggestion to add a variety: Timbuk2 Snoop in Small size (medium would be too big): Linky (external link)

I use the Snoop with my 7D+24-105 in the middle compartment, 70-200 f/4 IS on one side and the 430EXII on the other side. You can fit your 50mm under the camera if you have a foldable divider that you can put in the middle compartment (I had one from another bag). 7D+70-200f/4 also fit in the middle compartment (hood reversed, of course) and you can close the bag comfortably (it wont stick out).

Besides, you can remove the "insert" and use the bag as a regular messenger bag if you wish.


Canon 7D | 24-105mm f/4 | 70-200mm f/4 IS | 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 | 60mm f/2.8 Macro | 430EX II | S95

Yeah that would help, sorry. Considering the others you are considering any of the Lowe Pro Classified AW Pro Shoulder Bag Series.
