Good Photo Equipment Bag	Can't Post

Hello Everybody!

After purchasing my 20D with lenses and flash. I need to get a nice bag that will fit everything in including and extra camera.

Any recommendations?

I've been reading about Tamrac & Lowepro.

BTW I just bought one of those Tamron AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di Zoom. I've read pretty good reviews about them.

Thanks!

I'll be looking for one of these too very soon. I was browsing the Tamrac bags already and liked what I see. I'll probably get the biggest backpack one so I can hold a bunch of stuff in there. As for the Tamron lens, mine will be here tomorrow but the camera will be here today! Well at least this way I'll be able to charge the batteries for a day before I can actually use the camera Mad

I'm taking it to the Friday night football game to take my first images with it.

The bag issue is always a very personal one, though you've mentioned two good quality brands. I only suggest that you pick one bigger than you currently need, as the gear and your needs will certainly grow.

No doubt about getting a bag that is bigger than you think you need. I have a closet full of bags that are too small now.
I am currently using a Lowepro Magnum AW bag

Pretty big bag, but finally I can fit everything I need in it.

Do you have a bag you want to sell as I have no bag at all for mine right now? I'd like to get one of those backpack bags or cases.

I have no backpack style cases. Just a bunch of crap :) I shouldn't say they are totally useless, they are holding older video equipement and miscellanous stuff, they just never leave the house :)

What do you think of a bag like this? I figure it is bigger than I need right now but I can grow into it and it has wheels for when it gets really heavy!

I'd look for a bag with a colored interior. Red and yellow are easily found out there. Much easier to see the black accessories against something other than black.
