This is what I will be carrying in the bag.
-Rebel Xs w/Grip
-18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
-70-200f/4L
-50mm f/1.8

and later down the road I may get a flash and another lens(apart from upgrading other lenses)
Along with a filter or two. (may not pack, I never use them)
I also have an expodisc, and battery charger.

So basically, a good bag with a little bit of room to grow.
I would like a shoulder bag so that I can access my lenses and such quickly.

I don't want to pay more than...$130? I always up for saving a few bucks though!


So I've been looking at these:

Domke "Little Bit Smaller" Bag.

http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …_Million_Dollar​_Home.html (external link)
Crumpler 6mdh


any other recommendations are more than welcome too!

The local camera shop doesn't carry crumpler and you have to special order domke. :/

Does anyone else recommend the 6mdh?
I may pull the trigger on that.

I keep going forth between the Domke and the Crumpler though. *rips hair out

Crumpler 6mdh

Greetings:

I purchased the Crumpler 7mdh from Amazon for $140 recently and I'm very satisfied with the quality of construction and the ability to [I]cram[I] a bunch of stuff into it; I have a 20D w/BG-E2N battery grip attached, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, an EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM, a Speedlite 580EX Flash and a bunch of accessories. I'm able to close the flap with the 70-200 attached however, the 24-70 fits perfectly attached and allows for the use of the underflap velcro besides the flap latches. I also have the Crumpler Whickey & Cox backpack . . . I like using the 7mdh much more!!! I can send photos or answer any questions you may have pertaining to the 7mdh.

Good luck with your purchase decision.

The Tamrac Pro 8 would probably work for you AND it's under your limit:

The Pro 12 is just over your price range but it's probably major overkill for what you currently have:

(Disclaimer-I own both of these bags and they work quite well, the Pro 12 was my go-to bag until I acquired a backpack jones:lol:)

It carries very well over the shoulder and it's not too heavy. The strap's long enough that if you wanted to you could probably carry it bandolier-style

+1 6mdh

Fits my 40D, 17-55, 70-200 f4 IS, 430EX, and 580EXII comfortably. Nifty fifty was easy to add when I had the lens. Sigma 30 can be sqeezed in but it is kind of unnatural.
