[QUOTE="hark, post: 513442, member: 13196"] Hi Donnie. :) The bag you returned and the one you're eyeing are both in the under $25 range. I doubt you will find a quality bag around that price big enough to hold a future 70-200mm f/2.8 lens along with your camera, other lenses, flash, and accessories. The Fro Knows bag doesn't appear to have a great deal of padding the way he flattens out the empty bag so personally I wouldn't want it. There are shoulder bag and backpack manufacturers that make durable bags with padding. Can you give us a higher price range and also let us know if you'd prefer a shoulder bag or are leaning more towards a backpack? Being a female, my needs may be a little different than the needs of guys. I own a couple of Tamrac bags that are discontinued. They are shoulder bags that covert to waist packs. I also have several bags. One is a big bag to hold gear that I don't take with me and which also stores things I don't use frequently. Then I have a couple of bags to choose from when I go out. One holds the camera and 2-3 lenses. The other can hold a couple of bodies as well as a couple of lenses, or I can take one body and add 3-4 lenses (and I can squeeze even more into it). Just remember, the bigger the bag, the more it will hold. And gear gets heavy if you are carrying a loaded bag. Think Tank makes several types of products one of which is a waist belt where components can be added individually. If you want to carry a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached to a body, they make a component that can be securely fastened to the belt for it. Please give some thought to a higher price point and let us know if you are leaning more towards a shoulder bag or backpack. [/QUOTE]
