Default New camera bag

Sue and I are planning several trips in the next few months, and I have looked around at buying another camera bag. Right now, I am using the Domke F2, but find that it is a bit too wide for toting around in the tight confines of an airplane. It does fit all my camera equipment, though.

I don't need something that will hold all my equipment, but it needs to hold at least 4 lenses, a SLR body, and small flash. An Internet search wasn't as informative as I thought...most postings agreed that there is no one perfect bag.

I went to a local camera shop and spent several hours looking at their selection. I finally brought home the Lowepro ProMag 2 bag. It seems sturdy and the straps and handles are comfortable to hold.

I'll probably need to buy another bag for when I want to venture forth with only 1 extra lens plus the SLR with mounted medium zoom.

Anyone here with ideas for a small bag?

Try Circuit City and especially Best Buy. The BB near me has a hugh selection of bags.

Check out Big Lots. I was looking for a camera case and ended up buying one at Best Buy. Then later I happened to be a Big Lots and found one that was much better at 1/3 price.

Dennis,

Did you look at B & H Photo's website? I've never been disappointed by them in the few transactions I've had.

B & H is one of my favorite stores, but especially with camera bags, you need to try them with your equipment, and that is not possible when doing everything mailorder.
