Which Bag?

I'm looking to increase my ever growing camera bag collection

So far I have:

Slingshot 100
Slingshot 200
Magnum AW
Stealth Reporter (Small one can't remember the number)

The Slingshots are good but I really don't like bags on my back
The Magnum is super but it's the size of a small house
The Stealth Reporter is okay but won't fit my 70-200.

I'll be looking to sell all of these except the Magnum in order to fund/part fund a new bag

What I'm after is this:

Shoulder bag - MUST be a shoulder bag
Needs to hold:
1x DSLR with 24-70 attached
*70-200 f/2.8 stood upright
*10-20
Ideally a speedlite (not essential - would leave out if this made the bag too big/heavy)
Ideally a 2xTC (not essential - would leave out if this made the bag too big/heavy)
Must be as small as possible - the smaller the better (when I need to take a lot of gear with me I'll take the Magnum, this bag is just for when I want to travel 'light')

*Ideally I'd like to take both lenses BUT I'd also be happy just to have space for one of these lenses and one attached to the camera


I'm basically looking for a bag that I can take with me when going for walks in the country where photography isn't the main point of the day and just something I might do if I see something that catches my eye.

So far the only thing I've found that comes close to the mark is the Lowepro Stealth Reporter D200 or D300 but just wondered if there was anything better and, hopefully, cheaper as it's not a bag I'll use a lot.

Any ideas?

Re: Which Bag?

Take a look at the Crumpler Pretty Boy range, the XL will hold your DSLR body with lens attached and one extra lens. They also do a XXL and a XXXL, which I think would be a better size to fit all your kit.

Cheers

Re: Which Bag?

I bought the Slingshot AW100 and hate it, apart from the fact it's turned out to be too small, it's awkward to use. Fine if you want to hook it over your head, as it's meant to be used but doesn't really work IMHO, but not if you want to carry it on one shoulder.

as dannymm says, take a look at the Crumpler range

Re: Which Bag?

For shoulder bags, Crumpler are likely to be your best bet. I've got a fourninety daily large which holds all you want plus a bit more. Top bag. In black it's moderately stealthy.
