    I've got a few Lowepro Vertex 100 AW for my birding, Kata 3in1-10 for my macro and walkabouts and Lowepro fastpack 200 for day trips. I also have bought and sold some others too, It's very addictive

    I use different bags depending on what I have to do:

    For when I am just going to an indoor function (not as the photographer) I stay fairly low key, 1 camera, 2 flashes, 1X 14mm wide angle, 1X 35mm lens, 1X 85mm lens in a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home (2009 edition) which I have in all black and doesn't look like a camera bag



    When I'm going on a hike or holiday or trip, I use a Crumpler Whickey and Cox backpack. It is very poorly designed but it lets you stay low key (doesn't look like a camera bag) and is very secure as it can't be opened whilst it is on your back.



    When I have to cover a wedding or something, I dump stuff into a ThinkTank Airport Security v2 bag which I like because of its great rollability, and also because it has 3 built in locks



    When I do portraits, it all goes to crap because there's so many different Softboxes, Tripods, Umbrella mounts to carry

    Since my last post (at which point I did not vote - and now have) I took the oppertunity of a birthday to pick up a Flipside 400AW. I must say it's much easier to access my equipment with than the Berhaus hiking pack I was using before. The flipside is smaller, but packs the gear in tight and properly.

    I've been using a canon back up until today, but got a very nice surprise this afternoon when a courier dropped off a flipside 400 that my wife secretly bought me for valentine's day, I've been tossing up between this and the fastpack 350, i think she made the right decision, maybe tad slower to access the camera if it's in the bag, but most of the time I'll probably have the camera in my hands anyway, plus i think the flipside holds more gear and i like the security of the opening against my back.

    My original hard case saw much service with my film cameras and early days of digital. It now houses most of the no longer or rarely used gear.

    Hi everyone! I haven't tried many bags extensively (I only recently stocked up on camera gear) But I have two backpacks for differing occasions.

    If I need a lot of gear I'll take my Lowepro Compu-Treckker AW. It will easily store a laptop, body, and many Kgs of lenses with paraphenalia. I'll take this one as "Carry on" luggage on flights... simply because I'm paranoid about my gear, and when it's filled, it'll be as heavy as my major holiday backpack/suitcase. However, despite it being checked repeatedly at airport security, I've never been asked to weigh it.
    On a completely irrelevant side note.. I have a Gorillapod Focus.. and have been asked "Which adult shop did you order this from?" by the Airport security. So regardless of which bag you get, make sure strange shaped things are easy to get to should they get flagged by the x-ray!

    If I don't want to carry tons of gear. I highly recommend the Lowepro Fastpack 250. It still fits in a laptop/text book/novel in the back, SLR sized camera with lens (or two), flash, some accessories in the camera gear compartment, and I use the front flap as an additional (but not specifically designed) method to hold a light tripod. It also has room at the top for more stuff, such as another lens/lunch and a side drink holding pouch.

    The Lowepro sling 200 is ideal for camera, 2 lenses , tripod and accessories. I can have sling the bag from backpack position to the front and have the camera out in less than 5 seconds.

    I am using a Lowepro Inverse 200AW, suits me and has done for quite a while, it has been the bag I have kept the longest and I have no plans to replace it yet.

    I should have added in my earlier post I use a Lowepro Flipside 300 but I find I'm starting to outgrow it already as I accumulate more equipment. Great little bag though for a body, two lenses and a speedlight plus other bits and pieces.

    I have a Tamrac Expedition 6 backpack for the day trips, and a Crumpler 7 million dollar home for small shoots where I don't take all my gear.
