Smallest Bag For Gripped D90 + Lens

[PhotoXopher]

Hi all, I'm in search of my next bag and I come to you for advice.

I'd prefer Lowepro but I'm open to other suggestions.

What I'm looking for is the smallest shoulder bag that will hold a Nikon D90 with grip and 18-250 lens (similar in size to the Nikon 18-200).

6"H x 5.5"W x 8.5"L

Some room for other miscellaneous would be OK but not necessary.

Thanks in advance!

The bag I use when I run light is the one below (Lowepro). It fits just fine with my Sigma 70-300 APO mounted as long as the hood is not mounted....the sigma is right at an inch longer than your 18-200 so length wise you should be good even with the hood attached.

I bought the bag before getting the grip and it fit perfectly. Now that I have the grip....it still fits, but it is a much tighter squeeze. Don't know if that helps..but it's all I've got.

Thanks!

I was actually thinking about the Toploader 70 AW or Toploader 75 AW since the Zoom 2 seemed a bit shy for space with the grip mounted.

The Tamrac 5627 looks promising as well.

Tamrac 5627 ended up being the winner

The price, size and reviews ended up selling me on it.

I am sure you will enjoy it a lot, but if there is one thing that I learned fast... you will outgrow it pretty soon... always go 1 notch bigger than you expect you will need. I thought about small and ended up with a LowePro Trekker mini AW. 2 years later, I carry it... and 2 more bags when I go shooting. Had I gone bigger, it would have been one backpack and I would have been done, but I do have to say, the mini-trekker AW is perfect for those multi-day long jaunts around Disney... lol

I already have my 'carry all' bag, it's a Lowepro Flipside 300 that holds everything I own including my tripod (minus my light stands/umbrellas). This is something I want just for trips to the little league games, zoo, walks at lunch time, etc.

Must be a sign, they canceled the order because it was out of stock.

Going to look into others now just to be sure.
