[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 133900, member: 9521"] A few months ago I scored on the greatest camera bag. It's a circa 1980's Fotima canvas shoulder camera bag. It has a large main pocket that holds my camera and three lenses (camera w/ lens on and two stowed in their own little squared off area) and has a large pocket in the front to hold all your goodies and two on the sides and a narrow on on the back. If I weren't so lazy I'd take a photo of it and show you. I love that it's made of good ol' fashioned canvas I priced a modern version of this bag with the same inside dimensions and the cheapest I could find it for was $160 and closer to $200 on average and they're made of a funky meltable plastic material. And the best part is that it cost me $20 on Craigslist (and when I pulled out the dividers I found a 55mm CP buried in there). The moral of this story is that if you don't mind getting a bag made for cameras back in the 80's or 90's that doesn't have a fancy name, you can save a ton of cash and protect your stuff as good, if not better than modern bags.
