Hi. i am looking for a new bag that can carry my gripped 400d with a 70-200mm f2.8 mk2 lens and also a flash and my tamron 17-50mm.
i forgot to mention that i have a black rapid strap attached to my 400d gripped as well.

the ones i am interested in is the lowepro 160 aw classified, Think tank retrospective 30 and the Think tank urban disguise 35.

which one do you recommend? if none of these, what others?
 
I've got simular equipment(yet to get 70-200), and im looking at a lowepro flipside 400 aw.
i think it'll be fine for what i'll have :)
 
I carry similar-sized kit in a Thinktank Retrospective 20 and it fits perfectly. In fact, if I remember correctly, the Retro 20 is actually slightly taller than the 30 so better accommodates a 70-200 when attached to a body and pointed down into the bag.
 
I just bought a flipside 400, but it may be abit big for what you have at the moment.Though if you plan on getting more kit it seems like a great bag.
It is a big bag though and even then only just holds my kit.
I might not have packed it the best though.
In nine i have
d700 with 70-200 vr2 attached(tripod collar removed/hood attached)
nikon 24-70 2.8
nikon 85 1.4g
nikon 50 1.8d
the hoods for the 24-70 & 85
together in a section
sb600 +8 batterys
2x spare d700 batterys
charger and cables+ camera usb cable
cleaning clothes

thats just in the main section. with this it weighs a fair bit.

for a smaller carry bag i think i may look at the think tank retrospective next

I also have the Retrospective 20 and Manxmaid is correct about it being the taller option. I fit a 100-400 attached to 450d in mine and there is plenty of space for other lens and bits and pieces. Very comfortable strap as well.
