Camera Bag Backpacks?

Recommended Posts

Anyone have experience with these? I just purchased 2 more lens and some filters and I need a bag (or I thought backpack) that I can walk around with if I'm in a city or keep in the car at a meet to swap lens, filters...etc.

 

I have a 18-55mm, 55-200mm and a 35mm prime lens...probably will be purchasing another prime lens sooner or later.

 

Just wondering what brands and models I should look out for, thanks.

My brother and his business partner both use these. Not sure how much you where looking to spend and its not a backpack but a very good bag nonetheless and will protect your gear from the elements and anything you 'run into'.

I don't use a backpack but I use this for daily Domke F-2 http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=domke&itemnum=700-02D and for shoots I use this Domke F-1x http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=domke&itemnum=700-10D

 

I love them both and got them at Midwest Photo. Swing up there and take a look around they have quite a few options. I personally love the look and feel of the Domke quality stuff!

Paging Tim for 3 paragraphs about camera bags.

 

 

:lolguy: <---------- Insert your penis here on Josh and I'll get a picture for the two of you :p

 

 

I only use a backpack on occasion. I recently gave my Canon One to my brother in law. I liked it, but prefer something a little more non-descriptive.

 

This is like the one I have now.

Let me state this first, i LOVE backpacks, i have many many of them for different uses, I hate them for my camera equipment.

 

I have this.. It fits my acer netbook, camera and 3-4 small/medium lens and a flahs, PLUS lots of little stuff, (markers, memory cards, business cards, and other crap)

 

I love that i dont have to open the flap to get to my camera or other stuff, they sell a large and small version of it. Great bag..

Tenba Mini Messenger (There is a larger version that has an insert you can pull in and out)

I ALSO have this backpack. I have had it for a while, It was a decent bag when i was lugging around my 17" laptop.

Now it sits behind my couch waiting for the right buyer.

I'm still very amateur, but I love the LowePro Slingshot bags as linked above. I started with the small size 102, and now that I have 3 lenses and other accessories I use the large one, the 302.

 

As shown on the website, it's handy the way you can swing it around to your front, and use it almost like a hanging workbench lol.

It also comes with an integrated, hidden rain cover that works well and encompasses the whole bag.

 

I gave my parents the small one when I upgraded, and it has held up very very well.
