Need your help on a new camera bag.

[illbowhunter]

I purchased a 70-200 2.8 for my D90 and now I have a problem. It won't fit in my camera bag!!! I have a D5000, D90, a couple speedlights, and a few lenses plus now the 70-200. I need to get a different bag but not sure what to look for. I am open to any and all suggestions. What do you use?

Does it straight up not fit, or does it not fit with all of your other stuff inside as well? The reason I ask is because I don't carry every piece of equpiment that I own with me. I configure and load up my bag depending on what I will be needing. Take out some lenses, or leave one of your bodies or both speedlights at home. This is just my suggestion however.

I've got the lowpro Slingshot 320AW and I like the way I can swing it to the side and retrieve my camera without having to put the bag down. My Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 attached to my camera slides right into it and then I still have 4 other lens locations I can use. I've started looking into getting some pelican cases so I can start removing some stuff from my bag, but I normally carry 4-5 lenses and at least one speed light and a bunch of filters.

It won't fit by itself. The bag is too short. The lens by itself will fit but not if mounted on the camera.
I usually carry both cameras with a lens on each one and one extra lens with one speedlight. I have another bag for all the other extras.

I've tried all kinds of bags, straps, backpacks, etc. over the past 35 years or so. Currently, I use a Think Tank Belt System, and load it with whichever pieces of gear I need. I honestly don't see me ever going back to any other kind of carry system. Here's how it works:

I want something to carry 2 bodies and a few lenses also. I haven't bought one (yet) bit the lowepro nova 200 aw looks like it could do the trick

If I was you, i'd look around Amazon.

I have the Think Tank Retrospective 20, and it fits my gripped D3k with 70-200 attached. The 7, 10, and 30 will also fit a 70-200 but without the body attached I believe. It's very comfortable to carry all day, and doesn't look like a camera bag if that's a concern for you.

ThinkTank Streetwalker series is also good. Great, actually. I have the Streetwalker HardDrive and I absolutely love it, but it is rather big.

What style bag do you like? Backpack? Satchel? Shoulder bag?

Is having a lens mounted to the camera while it's in the bag important to you?
