Camera Bags

After reading several post about the wonders of the Lowepro I decided to look at them a little closer. I looked at the
[h=1]Lowepro - Urban Photo Sling 250 Camera Bag[/h]and It seemed like a pretty good fit for me. I have:

D3100
18-55
55-200
40mm Macro
assorted junk like remote release cable and charger.

Would this be a good fit and if not what would you suggest.

What I liked was the ability to wear to the back, side or front. Wear on the back and swing around to front and change lens and swing it back and shoot.

Ideas?

I like Lowepro bags they are as far as I am concerned the best in the business, for protection, durability & travel, plus the best warranty period. When I am out in the field I use one of 3 Domke bags - usually the F-5 it's made out of canvas with a water repellent wax( kinda like a rain slicker) it has very little padding which makes it great to work out of nothing to hang up on or get in the way.

There's just way too many bags (and makers) out there at the moment, but Lowepro always comes up in the top lists.

I have a Lowepro Flipside 300.
There's space a plenty for the kit you have currently to fit into that, plus it's a rucksack/over the shoulder type bag. Also, if you wear it over both shoulders, then you can swing it round and get access to your gear very easily, as the opening faces up towards you, and when you wear it on your back, the opening is resting on your back, not exposed to the person behind you with swift fingers!!!

I think I've written a better view on it somewhere else in the forums if you wanna do a search.

Looked at if Lowepro Flipside 200. Think it will more than hold what I carry and not be in the way.

I have the Lowpro 302 AW slingshot.It holds what I need and them some and totaly protects everything.Worth every penny.

I have the Flipside 200. I like it.

I could fit my D3100 + both kit lenses + 55 micro + some odds and ends in the extra pockets, no problems.
I just got a 70-300VR, I now leave out the 55-200, its a tight squeeze getting the bigger lens in, but it copes OK.
I can see later on I will need a bigger bag as I get more gear, but will keep the Flipside 200 for outings.

I have a Tamrac "Pro12" whatever that means. I can only get 10 lenses in it instead of 12 so I think that is false advertising. In it I can fit 10 Nikkors from my 16mm fisheye to 300mm, two camera bodies, my two meters, a boat load of filters and other assorted doo dads and can even get one Sunpak 544 in their and still be able to close it (only with the snaps, forget trying to zipper it shut with that much stuff in it). It actually holds TOO much stuff because this bag, as you see it, is pushing about 35 pounds. It also has some adjustable straps on the bottom where I can attach a monopod.
