Anyone knows where I can find some good Lowepro bags at a good price? I've checked out several shops which charge exorbitant prices. I went to Boeing in Sungai Wang and found that they don't have many bags.

I'm looking for a shoulder strap bags which can fit a camera with the lens plus 2 extra lenses and an external flash.

I've checked out Shashinki and found a bag I thought was nice, the Tamrac System 6 Pro bag.

last weekend fotokem gave 50% disc in their fair at PWTC.may b u can check with them ...

Im using Lowepro Slingshot 200AW, pretty decent bag & should fit your requirement. i like the way it can be carried like a back pack & be able to swing in front to access your camera & stuff.

that's the pricing in singapore. u can get a good bargain from it

yeah, crumpler 6million is very nice , doesn't look like an ordinary camera bag and it is very stylish!!

No such thing as CHEAP Lowepros. Tamrac's good also. I choose practicality over brand and I found that Lowepro suits me due the shooting condition I am always in. Always buy a bag/backpack that is at least 'twice' as large as the capacity that can fit your current gear, reason being should you 'overgrow' your current gear you dun have to buy another bag and another bag and another bag to pack more and more stuff like lenses and body and occasionally some personal belongings.

lowepro has alot of nice backpack bags...there is this shop in pertama comples unit 119 (first floors)

If you intend to get from Singapore, you should get e-quote from the various shops, e.g. Cathay Photo, MS Color, Alan Photo, etc., before going there. Usually, you can get better price than walk-in. Don't forget to bring a copy of the e-quote email with you when you are there. Another thing to note is that sometimes, the price quoted may not have included the GST tax (although this GST could be claimed back, if you are going by flight, through Changi Airport).

You could also check out YL Camera (Desmond) at 1st flr, Pudu Plaza. Saw some Lowepro bags in stock there.

1.99 is it..?

go get a crumpler la.. crumpler nice what? i use crumpler backpack. can put ur laptop as well.. but lowepro looks professional i guess

i'm using the tamrac 606 which is similar with the system 6 pro bag, and i'm loving it... i like the lens bridge design a lot.. the bag is good for a body with attached lens + another 4 lenses + a flash gun with other accessories.. bought mine 2nd hand from another forum..

Thanks for the tip mate, I am checking out those sites now.

Goto clubsnap.org and search for threads that keep track of Lowepro prices. If I'm not mistaken, Cathay is the only authorised dealer for this region that is listed on Lowepro's website. I think they offer one of the lowest prices in Singapore (and Malaysia). Try and get a Lowepro bag from Marina Square and you'll be charged at least 20-30% more expensive than what you can get it for from Cathay.

Prices for camera accessories, including lenses are a bit cheaper than Malaysia (from my homework) and 70% of the well-established shops are within walking distances of each other (Peninsular Plaza and Funan IT Mall).

Cathay is very well-established but their prices *might* not be the cheapest (aside probably for the Lowepro bags). However they don't act like most of Malaysia's bandit and conman photo shops. You can checkout Alan Photo and John 3:16 at Funan IT Mall if you have the time ^^

Crumpler shoulder bag is good ,I love my 6 million ,its stylish , though it dont have rain cover( my shoulder bag is use in indoor ,outdoor I use my Lowepro Rover AW II backpack)


Cheapest Lowepro is in S'pore
And I do recommand you Lowepro Nova 3AW if want cheap ,or else Lowepro Rezo 180AW / StealthReport 200AW is very nice .

crumpler is nice but stil loving a lowpero due to practicality..now using a computrekker aw plus...
