Bag?

SuperWoody101

I have a Nikon D90 with a 55mm, 200mm & 300mm lens, 2 batteries and a few SD cards. Also plan on getting a flash soon. I just wanted to know what bag should I get to hold the equipment I have? PS, I don't want to spend crazy money as my budget is very low at the moment.

Thanks for the help.

this looks nice and cheap

I own a Lowepro Computrekker AW. Got it for €125 off some US seller on eBay.

Just seen this;

Same bag for €50? Yes please!

I've been using mine for about... just over a year and a half, I'd say. I've carried ligthstands, tripods, softboxes, umbrellas, multiple lenses and flashguns, etc. (all at the same time!) and it's never given me any problems or issue whatsoever.

It's probably more than you're looking to spend, but you won't need to replace it.

I'm gonna buy that one for €50 and see how I get on.

KKV item location china - so add on import tax/VAT ... works out around 75ish

I'd be wary of stuff coming from china - a lot of high quality knock offs (also some bad quality stuff)

Get the Lowepro Slingshot 200AW, or the newer 202AW.

Excellent bag, has a rain cover too. The 202AW can also carry a tripod.

Thanks for all the help, this one looks like it will do the job. Has anyone ever used this bag?

Ah, imports from there are hit and miss, and generally, on items like this, you don't get nailed with Customs fees (the seller usually undervalues the item on the shipping forms).

Still, even if i am nailed, I'd happily settle for €75 for a Computrekker AW. Fantastic bag.

I'll happily settle for a high quality knock off! (a poor quality knock off wouldn't be much use though ). He has 100% feedback so I'd say it's genuine.


The Chinese: A great bunch of lads.


OP, If you're going for the Amazon one just read the reviews. They're usually quite accurate (personally I always read the three and four star reviews first).

LowePro Slingshot all the way. I recently did a hike in asia with my lowerpo. I needed to stay up with the group so couldn't stop to take out camera. Slingshot was invaluable. got some great shots

Dave, I'd say go to Shane Newman, or the lads in O'Connors in town and check the bag with your gear to see what kinda room you are looking at and what its like on you.
