recommend a bag to hold my gears.

[spartan30]

hi guys.

currently i need to buy a bag to hold all my gears.
my gears are as follow:
d700 with grip
70-200mm
24-70mm
Sb800

the bag i am considering now are
i) crumpler 7 million
ii) lowepro Stealth reporter 300aw / 400aw

i was wondering if camera body with grip mounted with 70-200mm can able to put into any of the bags mention above?

but if you got other good choice, please let me know.

thanks

7 mil is quite good. can fit a lot of things if u really want to squeeze.

i have 30d with batt grip, 17-40, 70-200 580ex (all about the same size as yours)

still got space to put my video cam (sony cx12) and probably can squeeze a smaller lens (50mm type) with no problem.


for your consideration.

You may use Lowepro Stealth Report AW400D to carry these items. NIkon 70-200 can be inserted vertically into the above bag when NOT mounted on the DSLR body.

It can fit the bag but not the 70-200mm mounted on the camera. Maybe you can try with the 24-70 mounted. All of your gears can fit the crumpler 7 million.

Thanks for all your input.

so there's no shoulder bag that able to hold a camera body with grip mounted with 70-200mm

seem that crumpler 7 million is a good choice.
In term of easy access to the gear in the bag, which is consider better? 7Million or 400AW

cheers

hmm...i've got requirements similar to the TS's

So...crumpler is the only option?

[egnaro]

ever consider fotofile pro 1? difference from the rest. haha...

I can show you mine if you are keen. (I am not selling but can buy on behalf for you)

Other than the Crumpler or Lowerpro Stealth Reporter, you can also take a look at the new range of Kata Digital Photo Series shoulder bags models KT DC-443 or 445.

I have almost the same camera gear set-up as you and was in the same situation, I almost made-up my mind to buy the Lowepro Stealth Reporter 400AW until I came across the Kata series and fell in love with it immediately. It has such a stylish exterior and the interior is well design and built to hold and protect all your expensive equipment according to your needs but the best thing of all is that the price is only 2/3 that of the Lowepro and the Crumpler and the quality is the same, if not better.

I think no words will be able to describe it and I suggest you take a look at their website at www.kata-bags.com and decide for yourself but if you want my advise, get it and use it well, you will have no regrets buying it.

Hmmmmm that kata bag range looks nice.

It is indeed very nice and reasonably priced too. In my opinion, better than the Crumpler or Lowepro shoulder bags.

[spartan30]

currently i got DC443 but this bag too small for a 70-200mm lens.
so no choice, i got to look for a bigger bag.

i do agreed that kata bag look styish.

after reading through the forum, there's few bag to consider now
1) crumpler 7 million
2) domke J2 / J3
3) stealth reporter 300/400

cheers.

Try looking at the bigger brother, their newest addition to the Digital Photo range, the DC445. I believe it will fit the 70-200 as I have it as well and it fits perfectly with some room to spare too.

If only slingbags, my choices:

Crumpler 7 Million
Lowepro SR 500AW
Thinktankphoto Urban Disguise 40/50/60

Or for a tighter fit. The UD 35 with backpack harness.

[PrimePhotog]

Billingham 306 or 335.The bag made for abuse...

[Daedalus Trent]

my eyes are on the Kata T-214



(dunno if it'll fit the battery grip though )

So are Domke's. My Domke got totally trashed by mud, rain, sun, people, etc etc in Vietnam, and it's still intact and in great condition.

Yes, it is able to fit a D90 with batt grip attached with 70-200, cos i have one

[santaclaus2100]

If you need to mount your 70-200 onto camera.

Have a look at the Think Tank, Urban Disguise 35 or UD 50.

Can mount "tall-wise", just lift flap and pull out.

I am using the UD35, but usually mount the 17-55 f/2.8. Plus notebook computer for everyday carry.

70-200 f/4 can easily fit onto the side.
