The Bag in Question, Case Logic

I have two bags that I use regularly... My "Everything But the Kitchen Sink" bag and my more-or-less daily "Grab and Go" bag.

The first one holds everything, right down to spare body caps I never seem to need (well, there was that experimental period with a Pinhole lens...) and my Shutter Boss and what not, but this bag rarely gets carried, it's really a storage container and spends most of it's time in the trunk of my car.

My G 'n' G bag carries my '7100 with my 18-105 mounted, my Tok 11-16mm and my Nikon 35mm. There's Yongnuo 468-II in there, some filters (ND and CPL), lens hoods, a spare camera battery, two spare memory cards a lens brush and that's about it. I try to travel as light as possible.

Pretty modest kit. How do you like that bag?

Not sure if I understand your question. But the bag is great! Fits everything comfortably and distributes the weights very nicely. I went hiking once with about half my gear in this bag and it never bothered me. With all my gear in it, it does feel a little bit on the heavy side. That being said I think I paid like 60 bucks on Amazon for it so it was well worth every penny.

Thanks for the info and sorry for the type error. My fingers are not cooperating with what I have in mind. ;)

The reason why I asked is because I am looking for a grab and go bag that can be configured with various short and long lenses. Something weather resistant (reads "rain" or water resistant) just in case it pours. I have four bags already but they have their own purposes and are mostly being used to store my equipment.

Glen, I have the same bag, they are really nice. Even has a laptop pocket in the back. It's my main travel bag. I have been using the lowepro more lately because I don't need to take all of my equipment every time. I ordered it online, but noticed my camera store is carrying them now. Lots of configuration options and it holds the tripod/monopod on the side.


Sorry OP for taking over your post, just wanted to sing the praises of the bag.

For $60, that is not bad at all. I'll check them out to see what's best for me.

Now back to the original discussion.

Kata bee222ul bag with

Nikon d7100, nikon d200 with grip, 18-200, 12-24mm, 105mm, 55mm macro, 35mm, sb910 flash, ipad 2, 16 inch asus 53nq laptop, minolta light meter, various filters and cleaners. Giottos tripod with manfroto head strapped to side of bag.

The top part of pack was clear for food or what ever. The pack weighed a ton due to contents not bag itself. Ok for carry-on but would not like to carry it far.

Normally would not take the d200, laptop and some of the prime lenses.

Do you like your md15 grip?

despite having numerous lenses, i now prefer more and more having a "walkaround" all purpose zoom on my camera and just enjoying the walk without loaded down with gear. of course, the walkaround zoom is crippled by a dark maximum aperture, slower than ideal focusing speed, etc, but the joy of lighter weight makes me want to just leave gear at home!
