Can anyone recommend a good camera bag? Needs to tick the following boxes
- room for Canon 6D with battery grip, lens mounted
- room for another 2 prime lenses
- room for charger, cables, etc
- black without any gash decals
Looks like Crumpler Proper Roady 7500 could be a good fit? Or too small?

Thule perspectiv daypack.

I was swooning avout a peak design everyday back pack, then saw the price and actually laughed out loud. Nice, but £260 can fuck right off.

The Thule is the only alternative that ticked boxes for me (same as you but can also carry a proper sized tripod, moderate water resistant without needing crappy high visibility plastic sack over the top. It's about 20-25l in capacity and has a plastic forming pice between the back rest and the floor of the nag, keeping it's shape whilst you forage around inside.
It's also light, only 1.1/1.2kg
My last bag was a dakine photpacj, useful at thr time, but not for getting into without having to put it in thr floor. Also was around 2-2.5kg before you load it and had little shape.

Thule is around £160 IN the UK but £88 on one of tge camera shop websites. Ordered one yesterday
