Bag question

Jazz Monkey Jr · 20-09-2006, 1:54 PM

I am looking for a new bag, I have a backpack but I would also like a shoulder bag for easy access to my stuff.
I have been reading and it looks like a Crumpler Loyal Chap may be my best bet - where are the cheapest places to get them from, or are there any other recommendations.

It is for the 350D + handgrip, 24-105, 10-20mm, 50mm, 430EX flash, some other bits and bobs.

Thanks.

I have seen it for £49.99 HERE, or would I be better off with the Geekstar?

I've just had a Crumpler Long Schlong delivered today, which would also fit the bill (shoulder bag, lots of room for lenses/accessories, easy access etc) - very pleased with it. Got mine from Memory Card Zoo (£44.99, free delivery) which is same overall price as fotosense (£39.99 plus £5 delivery), was delivered next day. Looking at your kit list requirements I think it would fit everything in.

JMJ would a LowePro Nova 4 AW be of interest (see here) - I am after a backpack to replace mine & I'm sure we could work out a good deal (?)

Thanks for this link, I bought myself a Loyal chap in green. It’s a great bag, pretty spacious and very well made.

Even my wife, who is a bit of a bag expert (owning about 300), thinks it looks really great!
