Hi all. I am currently using a Tamrac 3385 and it is a great back pack for carrying all my gear around. The bag works fantastic. The problem is, I sometimes do not want to carry all my gear around. So I would like some help finding a smaller bag for when I do not need everything.

I would like a bag that will work with my gripped XSi and a Sigma 24-70mm and Sigma 70-200mm. These are the lenses I most use and would like to be able to accommodate them. Having my Teleconverter with me would also be great. Any suggestions for a smaller bag for this purpose?

I would love to be able to just walk into a local shop and try bags pout, but unfortunately the few local stores around here do not have much selection.

I would also love to have something that is not obviously a camera bag.

Thanks guys and gals for any help.

Juan

I'm a Domke fan. I have the F-2 and the F-3X. The F-3X is the perfect "smaller" bag for me. I carry my gripped T1i, 70-200 f/4 and 17-55 easily. The flash and accessories will go in the side pockets. With a little more organizing I can get a third lens in also, usually my 10-22. I like the way it doesn't look like a camera bag and when not stuffed full it will squish down and appear even smaller. I have the brown waxwear version, love it!

Sigma's 24-70 and 70-200 are larger than their Canon counterparts. I'd suggest the Domke F4AF, much as I like my F3x. The F2 would be good if you want to carry any of your other gear as well, but you'd want a different insert, maybe the 720-245. And don't forget the Post Office Pad shoulder pad.

Jon - are you sure about that? The Canon 24-70L is ginormous.


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

It's a tad shorter and a bunch fatter(88.6 mmx115.5 mm vs. 83.2x123.5 mm); the fatter part is going to be the problem.
