Recommend a compact bag for D70

zmwang · 11th March 2005

I want a compact bag for D70 with 35-70/2.8. Prefer the top load type. But not sure which one is better.

Also want to hold one more flash as well.

Thanks

Can try the Lowepro Toploader series.

Can go to Plaza Singapura look for Hassel/Shriro shop
they got hassel stuff displayed there too.
Easy to find, a lot of black decor
Ask Helen Wong for the Tamrac bag series.
There is a top loader suitable.

Hi
zmwang

Have not seen the Lowepro toploader so unable to comment.
A good brand too.
If you are not a pro, maybe I suggest you avoid too-large bags.
Pros have no choice as sometimes they just must have the equipment at hand. With backups too, in case their camera fail during the shoot.
But hobbyists like me prefer not too large bags. So bring less equipment.
Lighter to lug around.
I was told some pros have suffered spinal problems after years of lugging very heavy equipment on their backs.

Poor guys. My sympathy to them. It is a job hazard.

Nice hunting for the bag!
