Spec me a camera bag

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 5 Aug 2014 at 10:53

I am looking for a photo rucksack under £120,for a D600(maybe also a second body but its not really important ATM) and two lenses - something around the size of 150-500MM and a a standard zoom like a 24-85MM.

Any suggestions??

I got Velocity 9x recently to add to my collection, it's a sling type so a cross between a backpack and messenger bag. Very well made and stores loads.

It's just a bit more practical than my backpack type bags when i don't need to bring along my entire kit.

You can put in the gear you have and it shows the bags they fit.

Just bought a Lowepro 202 AW for my 700D, great bag and extra space without being too big.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I ended up getting a Tamrac Velocity 9X. It seems to fit my D600 and the 100-300MM/F4 I got perfectly plus the 28-70MM/F3.5-4.5 I am using ATM.

I have a lowepro pro runner 400 aw and cant fault it.

Bags are difficult to recommend; there are so many types, sizes, configurations that you need to assess it based on your own requirements.

I've just bought a Lowepro 17L AW Nova Sport because I wanted a small, lightweight bag which could hold a camera, 2 lenses & a flash with easy access.
Equally a Lowepro Urban Reporter 150 covers these requirments but is double the price due to better quality materials.

If you want a more serious bag for backpacking, hiking, climbing skiing (as in strapping skis to the bag, needing space for climbing rope, havign ice axe clips, etc.) then nothing comes close to the F-stop gear.

Expensive but worth it if you want something more serious. Otherwise Lowepro does does several bags for more casual use.

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 302 AW it has a rain cover and you can slip it round to your front to remove the camera from the side access panel and also use the bag to lean on while its in this position
