I'd like to get some recommendations for a camera bag. I intend to purchase a 20D, probably with the add-on battery pack, and at three large lenses (16-35 2.8, 24-70 2.8, and 70-200 2.8 ). I also have a 420EX flash, meter, etc., etc.. I'm looking for a shoulder bag that can store the lenses vertically and have the body attached to either of the shorter lenses while in the bag. Space for my G2 camera would also be nice. Any recommendations? I've been partial to Tamrac bags up to now, but can't tell on their web site which bags really would fit the lenses with hoods on them (reversed, of course).

Thanks in advance.

The Tamrac 612 or 5612 will hold a 70-200 f4L vertically, and either one will hold 2 bodies horizontally with lenses attached - not necessarily both with 'big guns' attached at the same time. The 608 will also hold the 70-200 f4L vertically.

I used to use the 5612 to 'hold everything', but my shoulder wouldn't hear of it (heavy!). So I took to using a larger bag that I take in the car, and packing just what I need into something smaller. Now I'm thinking about a Billingham 555 to hold the bodies with lenses attached (vertically), but that is a big commitment in $$$.

In fact, I have a 5612 and a 608 in excellent condition that I would like to sell, but enough of that.

Hope this helps.

Have Fun,


Rick

Lots of threads on bags here. I'd recommend a Domke if you want a shoulder bag.

Abel... thanks for the shot. I have the Lowepro Computrekker which is basically the same bag as yours but with the laptop section in the rear. I've been placing my camera 'right side up' in the bag and worrying about something pusing against the flash or banging it. Don't know why I didn't think about putting the camera in sideways to help protect it from any bumps.

It's the little things!
