Need a Camera bag

Sparky · 21 Oct 2008 at 17:59

Got a 350d and a couple of lenses and could do with a bag.

Looking at the Lowepro TLZ1,

Would this be big enough, could you spec anything else that would be better?

Thanks

What about the Crumpler Pretty Boy 4000XL?

I've got a Tamrac 5534 (in grey, I might add) which is fine for what I need. I can fit a 20D with a lens attached plus a couple more lenses, some mini tripods (10" or so) as well as a few other random bits. Plus the bag is still small enough to lug around.

ive got the pretty boy XL, it's a good size for a 350D and 2 lenses, mine JUST ABOUT squeezes a gripped 40D, 24-105 F4L IS and a sigma 10-20 in, without the grip is comfy!

Very well made bag, love it

(you'd probably guessed its not my only bag, have a lowepro Vertex 300 as my storage / take everything bag)

I dont have to much in the way of equipment Tom, 3 Lenses, 2x 350d bodies[ 1 err 01 atm] and a couple of filters etc.

Have seen a couple of places with the Crumpler including the bay.

They may have bought out a new version of it, though I did find it on the well known auction site for ~£30.

blastman · 21 Oct 2008 at 23:06

When I first got my SLR, I borught a LowePro 15 or something and quickly out grew it.

I've snice got a kata rucksac, good for 4 large lenes and holds my 450d with batt grip ok. It's also got a laptop holdal and the top part is ok for a coat jumper and all the other crap I carry around with me.

That's what I've got, and fit's my D300 with two lenses. It's an excellent case!

I've got a Crumpler Stunner, a Pretty Boy backpack and Long Schlong and I love them all. I'd go back to Crumpler every time.
