Agree with you.
Very wary when the price is that cheap. < US$30 for a messenger bag in Vietnam.:think:

Wow! Thanks for the update! I never knew! Hehe!
Really? That's weird. My 5 Million Dollar has them, and I have an impression that all new Crumpler Million Dollar Home series has the function.
If you're looking to put a 70-200, i think you should perhaps look at the 6million as it has a much deeper base
Mine can fit the following inside:-
1) Canon 7D (w/o grip)
2) EFS 10 - 22mm (Attached to body)
3) EF 70 - 200mm F4 IS
Can choose to replace the 70 - 200mm with a flash (Eg.580EX)
It's a great bag for a day of casual shooting.
Everything fits just nice in it, no room is wasted in the bag.

Dont think so.:think:
TS was using the T17-50 + 50mm + flash and it was just nice. I doubt your 70-200 can fit in.
I also have the 5 million dollar home. This is what I have been able to fit in it.
These are maximum takeoff weight loads that I have used. Most of the time I carry much less.
Internal:
Canon 350D with grip and 50 f1.8 or 24 f2.8 attached
and
Nikon FM2n with 50 f1.4 attached
and
Sigma 500 DG Super flash or Holga.
Assorted cards, film, remotes and filters in the 4 additional pockets.
2. Same as above but with 7D without grip (don't own the grip) in place of 350D.
Also my TLR fits just fine with either of the SLRs.
3. Don't forget that the bag has attachment points for external storage. 2 Lowepro lens cases can be attached on either end. By this point it gets a little heavy but not so bad.
So full loadout although now for all this I would use my 7 million.

Not for the older version. If I'm not wrong, the 2 buckle version is the newer version with silencers.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
I have 1 question though. Can it fit a body with a vertical grip attached?:think:
It would, but it would be really tight. You may want to get its brother instead, the 6 million dollar home.
My comes with a silencer so, I use the buckle instead of the velcro.The 4th con (for all the crumpler bags): Velcro makes wayyy tooooo much noise when you open the bag, rendering the bag difficult to use for unobtrusive photography.
Congrats on your purchase anyway
As a owner of 2 Crumpler bags, I have not experience any 'furring' before. Will definitely take note of it. Perhaps, it's due to the rough material.
I got my from TK Foto at $100 (there's a sales going on now @24 June). The boss was exceptionally friendly.
It would be a bit tight, I believe. You should try it out at the shop. However, if you don't mind having the lens detached it would definitely fit.
The f/4 version would fit but not the f/2.8 ones.
China. I can assure you that once you touch it, you won't be concerned where it is made in just like all the Apple products. (No flaming on that.
)I have the 6 million that is free from Canon...with silencer too...nice and compact to use...I use this interchangeably with my Lowpro backpack

I was concerned of the quality made in Vietnam, the price is of course :thumbsup:
definitely the ones bought from retail stores are well made, I own one too :bsmilie:
Went down to Paragon Crumpler shop to try out the 5 Million. With my D300s with Grip and 16-35mm. Buckling the bag is stretching it. Really tight fit. Infact, inserting another 50mm is really pushing it.:sweat:
No space for flash. :nono:
Sigh.
