need a new bag.

[Kev M]

My little used camera kit has outgrown it's current bag to the point where stuff is starting to get damaged. I've got one of them low pro things which is half rucksack, half camera bag and I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

I'm after a full sized rucksack not one of these half and half jobs. It needs to carry one body, 2-3 lenses of average size and a couple of flashguns.

I can't believe the price of some of the bags on the market, it's a bloody rucksack with some padding in FFS, so on this note I won't pay anywhere near £100. The only thing I've found so far is the Tamrac Expedition 5 backpack HERE (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=1008576). It's an ugly bugger of a bag but I can't see anything which compares on price (still OTT) and storage capacity. Has anyone got one of these or can you recommend another bag for under £100 (preferably no more than £75)

Cheers,
Kev

Its an olympus badged bag and will fit an average sized laptop as well.

They were part of the E-3 promotion and a lot of people are selling them on as they are too big (!)

Usually go for around £50 +P&P

Cheers chilli,

That bag looks pretty good and I'm not bothered about the olympus badging. I'm not sure if it'll be big enough but I'll certainly keep it in mind to compare against any others. I like the price too, much more reasonable.

Have a look here (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Aspen-of-Hereford-Limited_Camera-Bags_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ276945QQftidZ2QQpZ6QQt Zkm), more bags than you can shake a stick at - the Tamrac is a bit cheaper also, I've used them for bags blowers and a tripod always excellent service.

Currently using a Tamrac Cyberpack8. 1D MkII with 70-200, 20D with 50mm, 100-400, 24-70, 17-40, couple of flashguns and a P2000, tight but it fits. Loads of pockets for all the crap. Only thing wrong is that there's no waterproof cover.
