Need a bag to hold D7000 with grip attached

[PeterM69]

After going through several camera bags recently I'm now having to look again as I want to keep my MB-D11 battery grip attached to my D7000 (17-55mm fitted) and store it comfortably allowing easy access. I'd also be carrying a Tokina 11-16 and a 35mm around and possibly need room for a flash which I'll be getting shortly. Also looking for a small bag for just the D7000 with attached 17-55 & MB-D11 when I dont want to carry the rest of the equipment. Theres so many bags on the market I thought I'd get some first hand advice.

I'm pretty sure I use this. It holds a full gripped D7000 with 18-200 attached, plus I've also had a 105VR, 70-300VR and SB600 all in the bag at the same time, plus there's room for extra batteries, memory cards, remotes etc.

It's small enough to use just for the D7000 with grip, but will take the extra when needed.

I can't be sure that it is the exact same, but I've compared the pictures to what I've got and it looks pretty much identical.

Think Tank Retrospective 10 - takes a gripped D7000 and 17-55 with the hood reversed with room for additional lenses and flash. Ace bag.

As far as travelling light, have you considered a man-bag and a Domke protective wrap? Works for me.

That's definitely one to keep in mind, was just on the Lowepro site, they have a handy 'Bag Finder' app that allows you to ad your equipment and it selects a bag. The one you have may be good enough

Thanks Slaphead & adrianday,

Looked at the Think Tank Retrospective 10, found it a little expensive and was actually drawn towards more of a backpack type with quick access. Eventually decided on the Vanguard Up-Rise 43 Sling Bag, looks pretty good to hold all my gear and be comfortable and light enough to use just for the camera and lens.

Thanks again for your input despite me buying something completely different
