ive actually done a little research but wanna get some quick suggestion anyway. I need a bag that can carry:

1 body with grip and 80-200mm attatched to it
1 body with a wide zoom attatched to it
1 tele macro
1 flash
1 tripod/monopod
1 laptop
some accessories

i dont really like those mini trekker bag kind of look honestly...i actually like the compu rover aw...but the camera compartment is really small....but doesnt seem like i have many choices. I dont want to get the omni..it can carry alot of stuff..but very inconvenient when I need to take things out. Mari mari suggestion!

yalor...2 bodies very hard ler...most ppl like that will get 2 bag, one big one smaller since i don't think there will be any ppl bring ALL theirs gear out everytime for shooting since it's heavy to carry, you dun need all gear at one time, dangerous (later kena rob ler)...

Bring a body, 1-2 lens which cover all your shooting distance would do...

Err..you like BackPack Bag, Shoulder Bag or Sling Bag ?

HERE a SUPER GOOD LINK MY SIFU INTRO ME TO SEE AND CHOOSE bag type, brand according to your need.

Hope this really help smile.gif If yes you owe me one liao brows.gif brows.gif

Have you tried Crumper bags?
I think its Crumpler - Karachi outpost.

Price is a bit steep..but looks good and can fit your laptop in too.

I have the computrekker but it is kind of short to put to 2 bodies with lenses attached.

In this case, I will suggest Computrekker Plus, which is longer. And it should do the job.


Hope it help.

@alamaklor

try the not so common bags, u might find a gem.

thinktank is one, lowepro's quality is almost sh** compared to it.

i'm using naneu pro,pretty nice and it's not a recognizable brand

I know about cambags but havent quite looked into it thoroughly. Crumpler is very rare over here and significantly over priced so that is not an option.

Initially I wanted to get the mangnum aw/compact aw.....ngam ngam fit everything except that i cant carry a laptop with it, and i need to kepit the tripod on one of the straps....pretty heavy for shoulder strap. The laptop is a last minute change of plan...laptop getting very cheap nowadays...I wanted to pick one up.

How about a compurover aw + a smaller top loader for my wide zoom? biggrin.gif for something more future proof, i do agree on computrekker plus...but it looks very ugly sad.gif

the thing about bags.

i had a look at bags from Bagman and Crumpler that holds lotsa lense and laptop. they aren't that convenient when it comes to accessing lenses.

the Lowepros, the backpacks has lens compartment at the bottom. nice but then if you examine it in detail it lacks space.

so far the more convenient bag for lens changes on the go (i find) are sling bags. i like the backpacks for the ability to transport lotsa goods. smile.gif

i find backpacks with lens pouches very convenient. sling bags just put too much weight on one side of your body..

backpacks with lens pouches? what to lens pouches look like? is it like the lens holding compartment on LowePro CompuDaypack?

http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Backpacks/...mpuDaypack.aspx

i agree on the slingbag part. i'm using a shoulder bag now, LowePro Apex 140 AW. even when i walk around with my 350D + kit + prime + tele + extra batt, i have to switch shoulder once in a while.

sth like this

http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Accessories/lens_cases/

all new lowepro bags got sliplock attachments where u can easily slide the case at your waist for accessibility.

i can carry 2bodies +3-4 lenses without feeling that tired.

that said u're gonna look very 'touristy'
