Need a backpack...help!

Columbo · 18 Jul 2012 at 11:20

So I'm sick of choosing what I can and can't fit in my bag prior to leaving for a days walkabout and because I'm useless I always end up leaving the wrong gear at home.

So I need some help with a bag, prefferably a backpack, that can fit the below gear in.

Sony A77
Tamron10-24mm
Tamron 17-50mm
Sigma 30mm
Sony 50mm
Sony 85mm
Tamron VC 70-300mm

I also need some pockets for filters, trigger, a flash, batteries and a tripod holder.

Does one exist?

Lowepro Slingshot 202 should fit all that lot in quite comfortably.
Also has various other pockets for little nik-naks etc etc

Do you want that much stuff in your bag for just doing a bit of a walkabout?

For me, a walkabout means a small bag with likely just one lens that is a 'walkabout' lens. If you don't want a zoom, a couple of primes don't take much room.

Where in the UK are you?

When I was looking for a new bag, I got bored of looking on-line and ended up taking my gear to a specialist shop who have a huge range of bags (Lowepro, Tamrac, Kata etc). They are quite happy for you spend a couple of hours in the shop putting your gear in the different models to see what fits.
