i had a Tamrac thang with a laptop hole and all sorts but it was absolutely huge, swallowed all my gear effortlessly but was just too blimmin big!

slingshot is in good order, used but certainly not abused....consider yourself in position 1 matt!

cheers mate, picked sue one up from morris photo for £60 and its AW and allows quick lens changes - puts my micro trekker 200 to shame ;(

After something to fit similar gear myself (minus the laptop) was looking at some of the Crumpler bags - Long Schlong, and Geekstar, keep hearing how much these can hold, just cant make my mind up. :thinking:

You'd be amazed how much Marianne packs into her Long Schlong ......;) even knitting needles (for Matty) and crochet hooks, tablets, lippy, purse, spare earings, ...... actually found a lens the other day - goodness know what that's doing in there :lol:

No problems on that score Chris. I've installed a homing device to that baby! :thumbs:

ahh but how do you know she hasn't moved the homing device onto something else that is mostly always carried around with the D200?

These women are smart :geek:

I have a Tamrac 5549 which I like for Day trips.It carries Digital and 3 or 4 lenses.I can bend the top down to make it look smaler for flights.I also have Lowpro Road Runner Mini for long trips.Good luck with your Choice.
