Jul 28, 2009 08:01 | #1 I am looking for a nice quality small bag that will just hold my 5d 24-70 or my 50d 28-135. I already have a nice backpack to carry all my gear and I have a Canon shoulder bag, but I'm looking for a smaller one where I can just carry the one body and lens, with the 24-70 being the larger of the two. It would also be nice to have a small pocket for a couple batteries and cf cards. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. http://www.jakegregoirephotography.com

My wife got one from the REI outlet sale (for ~$20 shipped) when I got the XSi, and of course I dropped the 5D in it to test fit and it works. Nice small package IMHO. My Gear List

I am not without my Lowepro Toploader 75. My 5D with 24-70 w/ hood fits really well and it's got pockets for cards, batteries, rocket blower (small), remote shutter release.

Jul 28, 2009 13:43 | #8 Thanks to all, looks like the Lowepro Toploader 75 would work well for me, as I can also use it with my 70-200... http://www.jakegregoirephotography.com

TimSnow Member  231 posts Joined May 2007 Location: Montreal More info | Jul 28, 2009 21:42 | #11 I just picked up a Think Tank Digital Holster 20 and it fits the bill perfectly. I use it with my 5d MKII and 24-70 with hood reversed. It also "pops-down" to accommodate a 70-200. I love Think Tank! 1dMkIII, 5dMkII, 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 f/2.8IS II, 15mm fish, 24 1.4, 50 f/1.4, 135 f/2, 580 II, 550, PW Mini's Flex's and Plus II's, Think Tank AI V2.0, Think Tank Skin, Alien Bees -

tvphotog Cream of the Crop  More info | Lowepro Classified 140. Top opening, built like a tank, doesn't look like a camera bag. Plenty space for small items.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Jay

TimSnow Member 231 posts Joined May 2007 Location: Montreal More info | Jul 28, 2009 22:51 | #13 Forgot to mention, one of the best things about the Think Tank bag is that it is shaped much like the camera, it contours in on the shutter release side so it is not unnecessarily bulky. It is great! It also fits nicely inside the bottom of my hiking backpacks (North Face Surge for trail, and an Asolo bag for the trails/mountains) to nicely protect my camera. 1dMkIII, 5dMkII, 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 f/2.8IS II, 15mm fish, 24 1.4, 50 f/1.4, 135 f/2, 580 II, 550, PW Mini's Flex's and Plus II's, Think Tank AI V2.0, Think Tank Skin, Alien Bees -

I bought mine this afternoon and I love it. Perfect fit for the 5D-II and 24-70 with the hood reversed. I can unzip and extend the bottom to accomodate the 70-200 lens as well. Very well designed and manufactured.
