Camera bag

When I got my K20D earlier this year I got a Crumper Muffin Top 4000, on the basis that this would be able to hold the camera, kit lens, and 'kit telezoom'. It does, although only just and the kit lens has to be mounted on the camera for it all to go in.

The catch is that I now have a flashgun and a 100mm macro, which couldn't fit even if they were in a cooperative mood. After some reading I'm thinking of getting a Lowepro Stealth Reporter 300AW, on the basis that this should hold my current kit AND hopefully the next lens or two. Can anyone who has one of these let me know whether it will fit the requisite amount of stuff? I'd also welcome suggestions for reasonably-priced alternatives - I have a Timbuk2 Medium messenger bag as well so anything up to the size of that would be fine.

I have an older S&F (Street and Field) Reporter 300 AW bag which will hold the gear you've listed but not with a lens fitted to the camera.

The body + grip (if you have one) would sit in the middle compartment leaving you four other places for your 3 lenses and a flash, but that's it. It will not hold any more.

Hope that helps.

That one does indeed look quite tasty. I'll check out the dimensions on it (I don't want it to be TOO huge as I do travel on public transport) but £50 for that looks like a much better deal than £80 for the 300!

EDIT: On examination the 400 seems a tad too big (mainly in front-to-back breadth) for what I'll be doing with it. If only there was somewhere in the UK selling reasonably-priced camera inserts for existing bags, then I could just stick my stuff into a Timbuk2 and be done with it.
