What's a good travel bag that is just small enough to hold a 40D along with a 17-55? I want to travel light and that's all that I will be carrying. What's a good bag to have? And any good lens bags/cases around to protect just the lens?

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 08, 2009 09:25 | #5 The Domke F-5XB is what I use for my 5D2 and 24-70 and there is NO WIGGLE ROOM! For your 40D with 17-55 it should be just right, and you can fit a few CF cards, batteries and maybe wipes and you're good to go. It looks like a regular canvas bag, too. It doesn't scream camera bag. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

Didn't think the velcro would be as loud as on my Crumpler but still very happy with my first Domke. Fits my 50D + 12-24 Tokie + 50mm f1.8 + 580ex II with some room to spare for small accessories like a lenspen, extra batteries, cleaning cloth and my wallet. Yet still maintains a small form factor. That is easily adjusted to anything you want. Simply get a bit of velcro and press it over PART of the original velcro. Leave enough uncovered to still grip to your satisfaction. Of course, that will work on your Crumpler too.

cohenfive Member 195 posts Likes: 3 Joined Apr 2008 More info | Dec 09, 2009 14:40 | #14 it depends on what sort of bag you want...there are holsters, sling bags, shoulder bags, and belt packs. i have a think tank holster which is great, and i also have a lowepro inverse 100aw belt pack which also works well (it is for sale however as it's not quite big enough for my newly acquired nikon d3)...the best advice will come if you know how you want to wear the bag. camera gear: nikon d3, d300, 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, 300 2.8vr, sb800, 105 micro, canon g9, lots of bags
