I'm lucky. All my camera gear can fit into my Lowepro bag!
Trouble is on the way though. All the compartments are full and I just ordered another lens! What to do when I leave the house? Which one to leave behind?
Maybe it's better to buy a bigger bag also...

Lowepro rules!

I need a bigger camera to fit a bigger bag. Dont I?

I have a Crumpler (the "3 million dollar home" bag). It's a fantastic bag - very practical with lots of pockets to keep all my stuff (like spare batteries, filters, etc) and well-designed. It's very sturdy, and doesn't look like a typical camera bag.

I reckon that Lowepro bag sounds like a bargain though

Ha! Just when you’ve thought you’ve spent enough money on photo gear, along comes another lens/body/accessory that you don’t have room for!

I have a Lowepro Photo Trekker Classic, which is a rather large backpack style bag. Is it large enough? Nope. I’m considering hiring a crew of Sherpas to help lug my gear around…

It comfortably carries my 20D with 24-70 f2.8, 10-22mm wide angle, 70-200 f2.8, my Canon A85, spare batteries for both cameras, a Jessops 2x TC, remote shutter release and lens hoods for each of my f2.8 lenses. I also used to lug around a Canon 75-300 IS USM lens. and i don't even use all the pockets in it.
I know it's only 3 lenses but every one of them is a 77mm filter so they're all BIG..
I normally carry it over one shoulder but for longer walks i put it on properly and it it's really comfortable. It's amazing how heavy you can make it and still carry it in comfort without straining your back.

It's a great bag and if i ever replace it, it'll be another Lowepro.

Ditto... Lowepro is excellent.

Just one point. Dont get regrets for buying something you know will work for you.

Recently I purchased a fly fishing vest for my photography stuff as well as for fly fishing.

Hey, it works.

Yea it isn't a Lowepro or something else, but for my budget, you cant go wrong with $20.00 at Wal-Mart.

Bags are even worse than tripods. Soon you'll have a closetful of them and none will match your needs exactly.

As I was reading this thread I was thinking to myself how I would like to have one of these bags...

then I look up at the shelf with the 3 tripods and 4 bags I have already (for 2 cameras).

Did I mention I am shopping for a new tripod as well? :blushing:
