Bags

[Sparkles33]

I thought that once I got my pretty new lens, I wouldn't have any major G.A.S. (Gear Aquirsition Syndrome) for a while...but no, I'm wrong...VERY wrong!

I need a new bag. The 2 I have I suppose I could combine and use both at the same time but erm...I'd prefer one. LOL

How do you store your stuff?

I need to be able to take both lenses for my Sony, obviously my sony and my fuji also in the bag and it has to be able to go on the back of my chair (otherwise I would have had a backpack style one, but since I can't strut my stuff anymore, I have to be able to carry it on the back of my chariot). I Really don't want to spend a fortune, I've kinda spent alot already, just want something that I can fit all my gear in, so a slightly bigger bag than usual. I have a 70-300 lens and that's kinda what is making all the fuss cause otherwise I'd just keep the fuji in its soft case.

Any thoughts?

I have a Lowepro Slingshot 300. It fits all my kit in it (including my 70-300) with ease. 3 lenses, cables, a flash, camera, cloths, filters, batteries, everything. And there is still space in there for another 2 or 3 lenses.

I fully recommend one.

thanks

not sure if I'd be able to use that though, - for putting it on the back of my wheelchair, but definately looks like a great bag! I really like that.

 

[Chumpalot]

Perhaps a bit too big then.. maybe consider the Slingshot 100 or 200?

 

[Sparkles33]

will definately chek them out.

It's such a farce TBH, sorting out bags that are "compatable with chariot" lol

I think for the moment I'm going to have to double up using both of the bags that I have at the moment, one for the camera and one for the accessories.

 

[Chumpalot]

Seems a bit of a pain. There must be one available that you can use to store everything.

I hope so, I'm going for a wander and a shoot in a bit, so ill pop into currys and check out the 100

Would a conventional shoulder bag fit your chariot? How about the Lowepro Stealth Reporter range?

 

[Sparkles33]

yeh a shoulder bag does fine. I've kinda come up with somewhat of a temporary solution... My fuji fits into my handbag anyway, but the sony with the bigger lens on doesn't fit in the sony shoulder bag with anything else, however, if I put that in it's cute little lens bag and put the other lens on the camera, with my fuji in the soft case in my handbag, everything is kinda sweet.

Only problem is...I've fallen in love with my new lens! LOL

I'm not 100% sure of the size of a 70-300 but there are a couple of Lowepro Shoulder Bags that could be worth a look, the Lowepro Fastpack 200 and the Lowepro Flipside 200.

 

[Sparkles33]

thanks

I'll check those out too

only because I saw the new ad in the forsale section and noted the 10% discount, have you looked at the Redsanpper stuff? I have no idea what its like but loads on here seem to rate their stuff :shrug:

Now that you mention that I have the Redsnapper Verso Bag which is very adaptable and I am certain it would hold an A350 with the 70-300 lens attached, mine used to hold my A300 with the Beercan attached with plenty room spare.
I'd certainly recommend Redsnapper for quality and price.
Although better to get something that fits your needs rather than the cheapest!
