Camera bag

[dustydes]

Hi

I'm looking to get a new bag, rucksack type. Have been searching local shops and web. So far I like the look of the tamrac 4 or 5X.
I like the fact that the whole of the front face opens up, are there any other makes that do this, so far I have not had any luck in the shops, limited choice.


Thanks

Des

A couple of us got a Domke ProPack 418 when B&H had them on sale. Great bag, but apparently discontinued. If you can find one, snatch it up.

I have the lowepro 302AW. Great sling pack and holds everything I need.

I, too, very recently got this Lowepro. Loving it as a bag for carry-on as well.

I'll throw in for the Think Tank line: Backpacks & Sling Bags | B&H Photo Video

I chose the Streetwalker Pro: Think Tank Photo StreetWalker Pro Backpack 477 B&H Photo Video

They are also sold at places other than B&H.

If you can, take your camera with you and fit it to a bag. In addition, try several brands, if you can.

Lowepro bags are great and they have a great warranty

Thanks for all the help.

Did a few miles to try out different bags and in the end brought the Tamrac 5585 5x as this gave me what i wanted and a bit of spare space for extra len's etc, when i can afford
I could have saved a few quid online at thedigitalcamerashop but decided to buy now rather than wait ( too impatient )
Brought from T4 in Newbury very helpfull, and they matched the most common web price.
The gentleman in T4 did say that the shop will be closing soon which is a shame and moving stock to Swindon including the selection of Malt Whisky
