The Crumpler Pretty Boys I believe were replaced by the Crumpler Muffin Top. Look at the Crumpler Muffin Top 5000/7000. I have just bought a Muffin Top and its pratically identical to a friends Pretty Boy.

Tell me about it; the Pretty Boys were much cheaper.

I have the Olive one which is Orange inside which I think looks the nicest from the range. Oddly, they can be priced differently based on price.

the muffin 5500 is £ 55

or i can get a pretty boy 4000 (in olive) for £ 38

what would you go for ? ??

edit: or the muffin 7500 for £ 55

muffins do seem bigger

I would go for the Muffin Top. The 4000PB is quite small compared to the 7500 MT. They are all much smaller than they claim, personally go with the 7500MT.

I am having a very similar debate with myself, cant decide between the 5500 Muffin top or the Hama Defender 160 Pro Series Camera Bag?

Paul11 · 24 Jul 2009 at 13:15

to me the hama looks like a photo bag and the crumpler, less so

i prefered it not looking like i had a photo bag
