Shoulder bag recommendation

[The Greek]

Gripped Canon 40d with 70-200mm lens attached, plus a Canon 17-40mm, 50mm lenses and a Canon Speedlite 430EX II.

Does this bag exist?

I don't want to sound like a jerk but why don't you just go down to your nearest camera shop and try bags out? Its the only way you can know for sure that you will find the bag which suits your needs. It's kind of pointless asking whether there is a bag that fits those things, obviously there is!

Lot of weight for one shoulder, not very comfortable or good for your posture either

Thanks for the reply, I did pop into Jessops Bournemouth and couldn't find anything suitable, TBH they stock a very limited range of bags. Thought I'd ask here and be pointed in the right direction.

Looking at the Lowepro Classified 160 AW, anyone own one and will I get all my gear in?

 

[Paul Holtom]

Have had a Classified 160 and you will certainly get it all in but the gripped body could make it a bit tight as the bag is not very deep.

Thanks, so it can take a 40D with
A 70-200 attached.

Have this bag, also the Lowepro Slingshot 200 and 300, plus the crumpler pretty boy, none will take a 70-200 with body.

I like the Tamrac Pro system shoulder bags, great value. Look here for reviews of most shoulder bags.

If you don't mind the sling type of bags Chris, have a look at the Classified 220AW

http://products.lowepro.com/product/Classified-Sling%20220%20AW,2141.htm

Very well made with a weather cover and tripod carrier, will definitely take a body with 70-200 attached, my daughter took it on holiday to use for her photo gear and double up as an overnight bag, takes a laptop too

Had a look before replying, and lucky I did, as I don't own a reporter 400, I have a 300 lol Doh!

Thanks Garry , very helpful link.

lol i checked as well in case i was "haveing a senior moment" It is very difficult to find a bag to suit every occasion, i couldn't find a one, and so have ended up with several to suit whatever i am doing.

The Lowepro Nova 180 / 190 / 200 series may well sort you out.

I've the 190 and can get camera and lens attached, with room for another lens and some other bits...

Have just made a drunken ebay purchase ..... stone sober! :bonk:

Just bought (panic buy) a Kata Back Pack R-102, why?

 

[Rockman]

Another vote for the Lowepro Stealth Reporter. I have 2 of them (for different systems). They are well made and fit everything I need them to.

Well I suppose it does go over your shoulders

Hope it does what your after, they do produce some nice bags and the R102 looks a nice backpack.

We will await your review ...
