Bag Advice

[SimonM]

Help please!

I'm looking for a new bag, at the moment I'm using Lowe Pro Vertex 250Aw, which is awesome, however I'm not finding it very convenient for access, so I think I need a messenger style bag???

I'm a Wedding Photographer, so just need something I can hang over my shoulder when moving around a location, that gives me easy access.

I'm looking to fit 2 bodies with lenses attatched (70-200) and a (17-55) on it's own an 11-16 UWA three 580 ex11's 4 PW's and sundry bits and bobs.

Any ideas??

Thinktank Retrospective 30 would be my suggestion, but there are loads of bag threads on here.

Lowepro Commercial? It would definitely fit all your kit in.

The Retrospective 30 won't fit a body-mounted 70-200 in vertically, but the Retrospective 20 does (I have one and it's good, but heavy).

I'd advise having all that lot pulling down on your shoulder, it's a very heavy uneven load and will do your back no favours. If you're shooting from two bodies I'd have a look at a dual harness system and take a smaller bag for your sundries.

Ah cool thanks. I wouldn't be hoiking it about all day it;s just to ease access I generally find somewhere to dump the bag during thee day, but want something a bit more easy access.

I use a black rapid harness already
