Who carries Crumpler bags in Houston?

I know Co-op does but they stopped carrying their line awhile back so they don't have much left..

thats it, co-op has a few but thats it.

If you are looking for the bag called five million dollar home, let me know. I have one barely used sitting in my attic.

I also would like to know who carries them here. I know HCE doesn't, I urged them to do so though.
Why is it you want a local place, Abel? To see them in person/try them out?

Circuit City carries up to the 5 mil (well, used to, hee hee)...but, I thought if you were looking for a small one, then you might check them for a good deal.

I've got an oatmeal/olive 5MDH. You can't have it though.

You can, however, read about it and see extensive photos HERE

I want one but nore sure on size, will a 5 hold a 70 200 2.8 IS or a 100-400 or would i be better off with a 6??

The 5MDH might carry a a 70-200 and the camera body, but not mounted. It would be tight. The 6MDH will definitely carry both of those lenses, and the camera body and probably a flash and so on. The 6MDH is huge. That's why I didn't get it.

Thanks Sam,

That is what I was thinking might be the case I have a gripped XTI that I usually keep a 24-105 on. I am buying a 70-200. I have a back pack style bag but I want a sling type bag for a trip this summer and to use while doing weddings. I had decided I need a 6MDH to carry my flash, body a 17-40 a 2x extender and hopefully after this week the 70-200. I also am renting a 100-400 for an Alaskan vacation. Just want to find one to fit it all and not be to obvious

Did you look at my review/photos in my first post on this thread? I have a link to it. Perhaps the photos will give you some scale idea.

6MDH is pretty big. I had to upgrade to a 7MDH just because lol. The 6MDH should fit a gripped 20D with zoom lens, 70-200L, and a flash.

mine come in tomorrow... i cant wait

I looked at those crumpler bags...they are expensive. I have a lowepro that I carry around. When im driving I keep my camera bodies in a box with towels wrapped around them,lol.
