Whats a nice, but cheap camera bag ? - 06-16-2007, 09:02 AM


I have a couple filters, lens cleaning kit, battery charger, etc...

Id like to get a camera bag that can fit a few lenses and all my extras, yet still be pretty small and most of all cheap. I dont care about name brand and anything real fancy, just do its job

suggestions?

I really like my Naneupro Bravo backpack. I got it about a year ago and it has been great. It's $50.00.

Lowepro Nova 5AW. I got mine for $58.95 from Digital Photo Club. It holds my D200 w/MB-D200 grip and lens attached, 4 more lenses and my SB-800. In addition, I carry several filters, cables, rocket blower and 4 spare batteries for the D200 plus 20 spare AA for the Sb800.

Now for something completly different ...

Go buy After Shave Or perfume at Dept Store and get a nice Polo or other bag FREE.
Then buy the custom inserts from B&H or orther.
I do this.
You get a good bag the size you want and customize it.
You look and smell good.
And it does not say Hey Photographer here - Steal my Stuff !!

LowePro is a Canadian company, and some of their dealers in Canada sell on eBay at very attractive prices (a good 25% or more below what any US dealer will sell for).

check out www.cambags.com

This will give you the opportunity to at least see what you are getting. It does not list prices, but you can check the prices after you see something that might do the job.

Most of the reviews have pictures with varying equipment so you'll know whether or not your set of equipment will fit.

Used anything. Lightly used is better. What's to go wrong with a used camera bag, eh! Watch the Buy & Sell forum here and the Classifieds at www.rangefinderforum.com.

Naneu and Quantaray (Ritz/Wolf house brand) sell some nice bags, albeit Quantaray has Naneu designing their bags - the prices differ.

I'm sure eBay/Walmart brands such as Digital Concepts and Merkury would do fine, I've always felt that the design of the bags was just too clunky and they looked a little chintzy.
