Bag for d90

Hi have ordered a d90 and was hoping you kind people would be able to recommend a good bag thats big enough to hold an additional lense - say 70-300mm.

im off to Jessops at lunch but guess I'll be able to save a lot by shopping on-line.

thanks in advance

looking to hold the camera with kit lense but room for a new lense plus small accessories. Have seen a pretty boy crumpler online for £20.

Another vote for the 200 slingshot.

Takes my d90 perfectly, with space for a 55-200, sb600 flash, camcorder and 50mm 1.8 in the main part, and a blower, lenspen and remote in the top. Plus a little space to spare!

I've just bought this for my D90 and the problem I have is the camera compartment is higher then the camera body. This means the camera moves up and down.

For now I've rotated the divider which sits at the end of the lens to sit above the lens/part of the body. Which now holds it in place well.

Long term I think I'll get a slab of foam from work and cut it to form a snug pocket for the body.

Or am I doing something wrong
