What is the best camera bag for a D90 with 12-24 lens. Been looking at lowepro but can't decide. Help..

[quarantine]

lowepro slingshot 100. if you have more equipment you'd like to carry around. consider the 200 or 300

[Vudoo4u2]

Kata Prism U

get it and you wont regret it, its a reasonable size bag, not very big, but it fits my 5d mkii with 70-200 f 2.8 Is L mounted on it in the top pocket, and its a fantastic bag for ~85 dollars

I don't know about the sling shot. In my opinion, it looks kind of odd. Something a gay kid would wear in high school or something. (nothing against gays) What do you guys think?

i had the slingshot 200 and i like it alot. carried my D90, 5 lenses, charger, hoods for the lens, filters. liked it cuz it had side access, very convenient for me. but i upgraded to the fastpack 250 cuz i got another lens and flash and wanted something to carry my laptop and camera in one....love this one! it also has the side access. go to lowpro's site, there's a bunch of bags to choose from...

get a bag that doesn't look like a camera box.

www.crumplerbags.com

but don't get those stupid "home" shoulder bags. try the keystone - more than big enough for the D90 and a few lenses.
i have the whickey & cox bag myself - houses my D3, 24-70, 85, 50, 30 and a bunch of goodies. really comfortable - have hiked all of Manhattan, Rome and a bunch of towns in Italy with no discomfort. and no rain leaks, even in down-pours.
and no one can unzip you from behind. not without taking your bag off. but it's easy to remove your camera from the customizable insides, so i can just unzip the top portion and grab the grip and pull it out. and weather proof, too.

that is a good site. Bags looks nice.

I have bought one of those photo inserts from B&H for $20 and it will fit most of standard messenger bags!

I have like 2 inserts and 4 or 5 different style messenger bags that I can switch around for style or for difference places I go to.

These are for casual photoshoot and I bring these constantly with no prob at all, perfect size.

50D
17-55
70-200
50 f1.4
580 EXII
2 or 3 filters
a few spare batteries
cleaning kits
misc what nots.

Ive got a lightly used slingshot 200 if you're looking to buy one... doesn't fit my 70-200mm.

i know what you mean about the "style" but it serves a purpose. Its great to be able to get to the camera without even taking the bag off your shoulder.

[Vudoo4u2]

oh seth, dont u wish you got a kata!? hahaha

[UdubBadger]

no i just got a stealth reporter 650... this bag is the shit

[FrankiE90]

just another option.
Sling Pack from Incase.

[UdubBadger]

that looks nice but also a lot 'boxier' than it needs to be

[PNF]

get one of these


It is actually bigger than what the photo shows and also you can divide the 2 outer pockets in half (for your flash light and filters for example)

Let me take a pic of mine next time and show you how it looks.

This is the best "carry-around" insert IMO and fits most of the messenger bags.

I might just grab this.

[UdubBadger]

I actually just grabbed the 12-24mm. thinking about grabbing the 18-200 VR for my d90

the 12-24 is

[lovemyBimmer]

congrats on the new lens purchase! make sure to post pics when you can! the 18-200 is a good walk around lens, love mine! i believe they are coming out with a new version of it..

Nice. I really want the 18-200 and the 10-24. Those with a 35 fixed are all I would need.


BTW, I use a Tamrac Velocity bag:

I like the low pro... sling bag. Easy to carry and easy to put in and take out the camera. Also very easy for me to carry when I ride my motorcycle.

I have that bag too, but I need to replace it. the main zipper wore out and doesnt stay shut anymore. over used/abused.

[Speedtrap]

Billingham is one of the best around...all pros use it.
