Before I get flamed for not doing research, not reading up, not doing my homework etc etc etc before posting this common topic, I would like to state first that I've already searched through Clubsnap, googled and read up many reviews, most which are helpful, but none fits exactly what I'm looking for.
I am looking for a messenger-style shoulder cam bag which can fit the following:
1 SLR body + 1 mid range zoom mounted
2 lenses (1 prime, 1 wide angle zoom)
small flash
~10 rolls of film
1 digital compact P&S
several magazines A4 size
1-2 novels/travel guides
1-2 maps
I do have a 7-inch Eee PC laptop so a bag that can fit this too would be good
maybe even a light cardigan
I find that most camera bags are just that - camera bags. The main compartment for most bags is usually exclusively for cam eqpmt with no space to slot in magazines or a slim laptop behind the padded inserts (if you can visualise this). Most are catered for photographers going out on a photo shoot and almost nothing else. I'm looking for something more for casual shooters, a bag which one can carry around in the city with a small laptop travel guide maps book mags etc while travelling, and if an opportunity arises, take out a cam for some shots. Hope I'm making sense here and not the only one with such needs (or, wants?:bsmilie....
So far the Domke F-6 looks the most ideal, at least in terms of shape, size and looks, but Domke prices are a bit of a turn-off... Any recommendations? Price wise:think:, <$100 hopefully, but feel free to throw in any suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
