New Bag Required

snips86x · 30 Jan 2014 at 19:33

I currently own a Lowpro Slingshot 200 and due to the purchase of additional lenses, i need something bigger.

Looking to spend no more than £40-50 and will need space for 2 bodies and 5/6 lenses, multiple batteries and memory cards. I'd like something waterproof, but this is not a requirement.

What do you recommend?

I've been looking at bags recently. I quite fancy a Billingham, but I spent a lot of time in the shop looking at those and also the bags from Kata. The latter is much more modern, but seemed very well built. A cursory glance on ebay shows lots of them at about 50% off rrp.

2 bodies, 5-6 lenses?

I'd get a Pelican 1510, or a Thinktank International V2.

Then use your Slingshot for day outs.

Ah I missed that somehow. That's a lot to carry around in one go!

Think you'll struggle to find something with appropriate compartments for that sort of budget.

Lowepro Photo Travel 350 for £80 maybe?

They do look nice, but I need something bigger.

That was my intension, I need something for the days where I need to take the majority of my equipment. I'll check those out.
