Bag advice

Need some advice/help on getting a camera bag, but.......it has to be able to fit a Canon 1ds 4 lenses (one is a 70 to 210mm 2.8) and a flash, but it can't be a backpack I've already have 2 of them lol. But as i have a wedding coming up, (this time i have no one to help carry my stuff) i was looking for a messenger style bag, so its not to cumbersome and i can have quick access to my lenses. I was looking at the think tank range, but my finances don't stretch to them So any ideas?............... anyone?

Tarmac velocity series always worked for me.

I did look at these Jnaks but they are just a bit to small to fit all my lenses in.

I use a billingham 550 when not using a backpack. I've tried several other makes and designs, but always return to my 550, which must be nearly 20 years old and still going strong. Only the internal dividers have been replaced.

Oops! Just noticed the financial constraints - sorry.

Yeah would love a billingham, way out of my price range though

Lowepro Stealth Reporter Series. Many sizes, black for the wedding! Top zipper access, or flip up top, your choice in the field. A very pro bag design and fabrication.

That's a great recommendation. I have 2. It's an all weather bag if you need it. It's a shooters bag too.

Here's a review of another bag, although I don't own it, I find it interesting as a lens changer bag.

Off the cuff...consider a Tenba Messenger bag, if you work with camera body out of the bag.

If you have 2 camera bodies on the go, you will need another choice.

Thanks for the recommendations i was looking at the Lowepro classified 200aw, and it looks like just what i'm after, but does anyone know what the difference is between the 200aw and the 200aw pro as they look the same bag to me.

Didn't know there were two 200's.

I have a 160 AW. it suits me well provided I don't load it fully. Moderately loaded, I can get my camera in or out easily. It's harder when the bag is too full.
I am not keen on the strap when I am wearing my goretex coat.

Sorry got that wrong it was a lowepro pro messenger 200aw

I haven't bought that bag. There are comparisons here of it and the Retro 30 from Think Tank.

I like the quality from each maker. So it comes down to features, and that's your call.

I had a Retro10. That was like a portable office that carried camera gear too!

The Classified have a zipper along the top you need to open, to draw your camera, or change lenses. Takes two hands when I do it. Has a nice rain cover.

The pro messenger is easier to use with a top flap.
