Hi Guys,

My current backpack is a sling and wasn't the most expensive in the world and as my gear has increased in quality it's really not up to the task any more and the stitching is going away. I need a new bag but don't have a fortune to spend on one ideally under £100. I do like the sling design for easy access but as the gear is getting heavier a backpack may be a better option to spread the weight. The minimum gear I need to able to carry in a bag is as follows....

D700 Body
70-200 lens
50mm lens
28-75 lens
1 speedlight & trigger
4 spare batteries
4 spare memory cards
lens pen kit
rogue flashbender & grid

If it had an attachment for stands or a tripod and would also carry my gripped d7100 and macro tubes as backup that would be a bonus but at present I've got a separate messenger bag it lives in with some other gear which is working ok and much more gear I find the weight get a bit unmanageable for my back.
There's so many options out there and I would rather buy something I know is going to work so anyone who carries similar and could give me recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
 
Have a look at the tamrac evolution 8, is around your budget on amazon but can swap between sling/backpack and has tripod holder aswell
 
Depends on what sort of style your after, do you need much room for personal items or prefer a full photo backpack? Not sure if it's in budget or not but there is something like the crumpler proper roady full photo
 
Thanks for the help so far, I've had a good look at those mentioned whilst reading a bunch of reviews and I've shortlisted the following bags.

In budget I've seen the lowepro flipside 400 or fastpack 350. I think the flipside looks nice but I can get the fastpack for 30 quid cheaper and looks like it would carry what I need. Slightly over budget I liked the look of the tamrac expedition 6x and lowepro vertex 200. Bags ain't the most exciting things so not desperate to spend a fortune but want to get something that will last and do the job well. If anyone has personal experience of these bags it'd be good to know peoples thoughts.
