My next bag will be a backpack that better distributes the weight to two shoulders.  I've added a couple lenses since this shot, and I've almost outgrown it.... or so I thought, before seeing djeuch's post!! 6D, 50D

artyboy Senior Member  796 posts Likes: 1 Joined May 2007 More info | i agree that there's no single all-in-one bag. my Lowepro CompuTrekker is for storage while flying/travelling. its simply too big (fat) for everyday use. my walkabout bag is the Lowepro Toploader 70AW with extra lenses/flash in my Targus notebook backpack. that is quite inadequate as its not a real camera bag so im looking at the Lowepro Flipside for everyday use for a camera body + 2 lenses + flash. Canon 1D Mk III, 17-40 F/4L, 24-105 F/4L IS, 70-200 F/4L IS, 24 F/1.4L, 135 F/2L, Canon EF 1.4X II TC, Canon 580EX II, Slik 400DX, Lowepro CompuTrekker/Toploader 70AW

My everyday bag is a Domke and truly one of my favorites It's really good and broken in is covered in patches it doesn't scream camera bag and is really easy to shoot out of and the pockets hold a LOT of stuff..

I do have a Slingshot 200 and it is a great all 'round bag. I also have a Crumpler 7 million dollar home bag that is also one of my favorites. I also have a Lowepro waterproof backpack for hiking....it's great when the threat of rain hangs in the air. I also frequently use a small lowepro bag that only holds a camera with lens when I'm traveling light. Those would be my favorites
