Crumpler : difference between Messenger Boy 7500 & Muffin Top 7500

[kennysarmy]

Hi

Does anyone know the difference between the two Crumpler bags?
Messenger Boy 7500 & Muffin Top 7500?

I've seen this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRUMPLER-MESS...s_JN?hash=item3355e7bfb5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

and it looks like a good deal to fit in my kit:

40d
Tamron 17-50
Canon 70-200F4
Canon 85 1.8
430ex flash
gorillapod maybe and usual spare batteries/filters etc.

I have a rucksack style bag for long walks out etc but want something a little less conspicuous for when just out and about.

Cheers.

I have a Muffin Top 7500 and get the following in it just about:

1 x 40D gripped
1 x Sigma 24 - 70mm hood inverted
1 x Canon 90 - 300mm hood inverted
2 x Canon 580EX II
loads of batteries, cables and memory cards etc

I had thought that the messenger Boys were a courier type bag though

Hope this helps

I don't think the Messenger Boy is a camera bag..

... pretty sure it is. Looking at photo's it looks very similar to my Muffin Top. Think that the Messager Boy is just an older model. MT 7500 available for just a few £ more ...

I bought a Messenger Boy 7500 from Jacobs not too long ago - definitely a camera bag, padded with all the usual velcro inserts. Size-wise not sure about the difference between it and a Muffin Top 7500 but I think they are pretty similar...
