Hi All,

I'm looking for a new rucksack, At the moment i have a Lowepro 202 AW, but i'm not a fan of having single shoulder when full of kit.

Requirements:
Smallish bag
Cheap
Normal Zip (don't like the side zip flap thing)
Secure (straps as i ride a motorcycle to and from gigs)
Fit the following:

Canon 1D Mark III
Sigma 50-500mm APO DG HSM f4-6.3
Bower 8mm f3.5
Canon 50mm 1.8 Mark II (possibly change to 1.4 or even 1.2 in the future)
Canon Speedlight 430 EX II
Monopod / Tripod

Accessories like Spare battery, gloves, CF card etc.

Can anyone help me out here? Not after too much am i? haha!

Hey, I don't know how big the 50-500 is, but I have a 150-600 on 7d, attached with hood in shooting position in a flipside 500aw. Has room for about 4 more lens and other assorted stuff. Deep if your cam is gripped. The material quality and build are excellent.

Yeah, the 1D isn't gripped but it has a built in grip. and i think the 50-500 is around the same size as the 150-600

The reason I bought it was I had a 300, but the hood had to be reversed, I usually carry my gear at work for birds and wildlife and wanted to be able to pull it out quickly, ready to shoot. Really nice bag, think I paid 129.00 w/ free shipping off eBay. You can carry 2 bodies easily too with lens attached with normal lenght lens.
