Lowepro slingshot bag, great for camera body with 24-70 lens flash, and filters , 70-200 in its own bag on my belt. $155

I have a crumpler 5 million dollar home. Fits my 30D with 17-40 and my 70-200 F4 plus filters, hoods x2, batteries, cloth, cards etc.

I also have a crumpler beer back (backpack). I like the crumpler stuff as the shoulder bags are waterproof in the rain and dont have any annoying zips so you can grab your camera out and put it away quickly. They also dont look like camera bags which is good in dodgy areas. The backpacks have the zips at the back so you cant unzip the bag without taking it off (good when travelling). All their stuff has a lifetime warrenty too, its not cheap though. Mine has been around the world and has never given me any hassles.

Will probably upgrade to the 6 million dollar home next or maybe even a crumpler courier bag with salad bucket insert.

5 million dollar home.

I'm a fan of the Lowepro bags

I currently have 2, the SlingShot 200 AW and the Mini Trekker.
But I am selling the SlingShot 200 on the for sale section
Reason for sale?
It only holds 1 camera body which is perfect for most people but I like to carry 2 cameras.
I have used it and yes it is a fantastic bag.

If you're thinking of a bag for one camera only, I would recommend this one even if I wasn't selling my own one!
