Need a low key shoulder bag for canon 5d3 with kit lens and 600 ex
« on: September 24, 2012, 08:41:28 PM »
Hi I am going to a wedding and want to bring my 5d3, 24-105 and 600ex only in the smallest bag possible. Any suggestions?

I personally love Think Tank bags.  They're a little more expensive but worth it in my opinion.

http://www.thinktankphoto.com/categories/digital-holsters/digital-holsters.aspx

I have 3.  1)  Airport Takeoff (Large): used to carry EVERYTHING (except for video lights and cages), 2) Sling-O-Matic 10 (medium): for walking around with most of my lenses and a flash, and 3) Digital Holster with attachment (smallest bag): for a flash, and an extra lens if needed, or my wallet and keys and some smaller accessories.

I think either the sling-o-matic or a digital holster would be great for your use.  The digital holster can be modified by adding different size attachments based on what else you need to carry.

Also, their service is friendly and I can get a hold of the rep in my area very easily.  Overall, it's a good company and they make QUALITY bags.

I'm still ga-ga over the Domke bags... got some from the 70's yet, when Paul Dolan and then Sterling Clark were my EPOI reps (Ehrenreich, pre-Nikon USA).   Got more these days, they're just great bags.  You can get 'em in non-steal-me colors too.

I use a tamrac rally 6 bag.

I really like how it looks more or less like a generic messenger bag and doesnt scream "I HAVE EXPENSIVE CAMERA GEAR IN HERE"

I can fit my 5d2, kit lens, 430EXII, and 70-200 f/2.8 ISII with lens hood.  Theres also room for accessories with all that stuff packed in.

Design your own Bike messenger style bag, as flashy or low-key as you want. They have a Camera bag insert that fits the medium size bags. 
I'm able to fit: 5D3, 24-70 2.8 L, 24-104 L and a 70-2002.8 L. And still room for Flash and extras.

Thanks everyone.

I ended up with a lowepro revo 170. Got it for $43 and it fits my 600ex, 5d3 with 24-105 and 40mm pancake along with battery charger and spare memory cards. So far seems good.
