None of my crumpler bags let water in. If you're really scared you can just wash the outer shell and coat it with impermeability spray.

I'd say at least half retail, but check ebay and your local second-hand sites.

I still use crumpler bags, and I totally agree that a couple of different sizes is super handy. I have a leg holster that fits a body (lens mounted) and an extra prime, a small shoulder bag for body + couples lenses + flash + random crap, and a large one where I can fit all my crap (body, 2 primes, f/2.8 standard zoom, 70-200/2.8, flash, chargers, extra batteries, etc).

The only real complaints I could have about Pelican cases are the prices and the lackluster temper-proofing.

I thought there was some kind of battery powering.... something in the bag. That makes a ton more sense though.

Both my Crumpler bags have a side strap you can skip 2 tripod legs into. But carrying more than 10-15 pounds of gear in a shoulder bag will get old quick.

You can't use canon-design straps on nikon bodies, they don't have the recessed bar at the bottom.

Yeah I never understood the hubbub about rain covers. Fat load of good it'll do ya when you can't get anything out of the bag with it on. Do wash+respray the crumpler shell when waters stops rolling off of it.

I used to have a messenger bag, but sold it becuase It rubbed a hole in my JEANS where it used to hang (in about a month)!  bag of them all.The only problem I've ever had with them is when I put on a new pair of jeans before heading out with my Crumpler. The bag rubbed, and got blue. Came off in the wash.

A gripped/pro body with a lens on it is just an awkward thing to pack and there's no way around it. Plus you're way more likely to damage the mount in transit.

There's a reason you never see actual photogs carrying Billingham bags. It's not that they're bad, but you're going to get tired of carrying 3+ pounds of bag on top of whatever you put in there. And that's on top of the  price.e: my friend's vintage (aka stolen from her dad) all leather bag looks baller as all hell but yeah, it's aggravatingly heavy. evil_bunnY fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Aug 6, 2012 |

Also you will hate every meter you don't have a vehicle for. You can get a wheels+handle add-on, but that makes the cases even bulkier. Unless you're checking your poo poo on a plane, I'd stick to photo bags.

I have a messenger big enough to carry the largest kit I carry around, and another that'll just take a body and 2 primes. I just put an insert in my pack if I have to trek.

Crumplers aren't exactly the best looking bags and they sometimes lack small features but in my experience they've been pretty bulletproof.
