I need to get Mrs Frac a small bag to carry an ungripped D700 with a 35-70 lens on it, a SB600,spare cards and batteries and some of her stuff.But I/she doesn`t want a rucksack or bag that screams camera.Is there anything even slightly feminine on the market?

Done a quick Google, but,as always, prefer real life advice.

Ta.

Oh yes, they are not the cheapest, but are certainly feminine - you can buy me one while you are at it Ade :D

some crumpler's are red iirc

The female smoothedit really likes her one of these from crumpler (http://www.crumpler.co.uk/?product=Pretty_Bellas&page=details&product_id=PBEL7500-002&view=2&size=big&lsc=&lcc=) which is fairly subtle but still has the dividers and amount of protection she would need to hold the gear.

No they don`t, but they won`t look after my D700 or 35-70 either.......:p

PS....I didn`t even look at the price of those.



Thanks all for the info and i`ll show Maggie the links when she get in from her chimney sweep round..........:thumbs:

Tenba messenger bag, doesn't sream camera bag. Teamwork sell them. Sorry on my Iphone and not sure how to add linky.

I've got a red crumpler that I bought on here and I have to say I love it. Got the same one for my laptop too.

Some very good sellers on the bay Ade. :)

[fracster]

She does not need to carry much, apparantly that is "what you are there to do!"............:thinking:

So she plumped for a white and bronze messenger 3000.

Thanks for all the advice folks.

Yvonne, she did like the white leather one you linked to......:thumbs:

[mastertrinity]

what about the new jill-e bag, or acme bags

[Yv]

They are the bags I linked to in my first post chaps, the Jill-e ones ;)

[gembobs]

I made my own up - I made my own inserts from a camping mat, then just put them in a regular largeish handbag!! Works a treat.

My old EOS 300v (similar size / weight to the xxxD cameras) just went straight into my normal sized handbag with my filters / spare batteries, but not a second lens.

Edited to add the Jill - E - Bags are nice, but pricey!
