    Camera Bag

    What bag would be good for holding a 20D with a 70-200 f/4 L mounted in the worst case scenario? I will also be storing a 50mm f/1.4. While I plan on getting other lenses, I won't be storing any more than 2-3 at a time nor do I plan on getting a flash.

    I'm looking at the Lowepro Nova 2 AW. Is this too big, too small? How much space would I save if I kept the 70-200 unmounted inside the bag?

    I have a Lowepro that holds my XT with grip, kit lens, 50mm, 420ex and has space for another couple of lenses. I wish I knew where the model number was so I could make a suggestion.

    Look at the domke bags. They are classy and well built. They also don't scream steal me!

    I have the F2, it's a bit large, but their are taller and smaller ones.

    Yes... That's the problem with Lowepro. I'm thinking of getting something completely innocuous like a diaper bag and putting some padding inside...

    Yep, that's why I did it. Here is the mine:

    It also has a small strap towards the back that I can hold onto with my hand, just in case someone tries to steal it off my shoulder.

    I've got a Lowepro Nova 4 AW and it holds all my equipment (listed below - except, of course, for the printer ), with room for accessories. Got a good deal from Digital Foto ($49). I've heard the argument about camera bags that scream steal me, but nowadays ANY bag large enough to carry your equipt will get some attention - from thieves and the authorities. But I have to admit, those Domke bags look great.

    In Life, as in Photography, things look much brighter, once you remove the lens cap

    Tamrac Adventure 75

    I needed something to easily access Bigma and carry it on hikes, so I got the Tamrac 75 backpack style. Also has a holder for a tripod (I carry my monopod instead). Room for quite a few *standard size* lenses plus Bigma and a flash, memory cards, all imaginable small accessories like cleaner, cloths, etc. Wasn't what I consider cheap though.

    Ouch.™
