crumpler bags

[evetan83]

Well I'm now looking at camera bags. I'd like one that's not too big and bulky since I've got very little to haul around. I was looking at the crumpler bags. The barge backpacks for trips, and the smaller 4 or 5 million dollar bags for everyday use. Does anybody have any of these, and what do you think about these bags? Also, does anyone know of a store in the dallas or houston area that sells these? I'd like to look at them before buying.

Thanks!

I have used a Crumpler bag for about 2 years. At first I have to admit I didn't really like it -- it seemed too stiff! But it's grown on me, and now I use it a lot. It's an older model, and I've forgotten the name, but it's pretty similar to the 5million dollar bag. I put my Pentax K100D w/ a lens mounted + 2 additional lenses in there (or 3 if I put a 50mm on top of another lens in the same compartment). Plus it has room for filters and miscellaneous other jazz in a zippered part in front.

Definitely go try them out in the store first. I found it hard to shop online for bags.
