looking for a camera bag
As you say you are going to Assen by bike I assume you live up there somewhere?
If so and you have a car then head over to Konijnenberg in Den Ham, or down to Camera Nu in Urk and take your gear with you.
That Kata looks huge btw.
Looking at the kata again, you are right, it is much bigger than I thought.
Going to a shop would be best but now that Jessops has gone, I don't have a dealer anywhere near me.
regards
If it had been your own bike you could have used a bike bag to get the camera to the circuit and just carried the camera when there, but on a hired bike you can't do that.

How about a Lowepro Toploader 75 ????
Thanks, I'll check that out
Lots of little pockets for batteries, cards, filters. Had it for 3 years, no complaints.
Unfortunately they dont make them anymore, one here on ebay, I have no link with the seller

I used one of these for around 30 music festivals, carry camera gear in the bottom and clothes, food & drinks etc in the top. Waterproof and very very comfy.
I managed to fit the following in the bottom section.
GX20 with grip
Tamron 17-50
Metz Flash
Spare batteries
Sony Hi8 Camcorder
So it will easily hold a k-5 and 50-135mm

Currently on a Pentax hiatus until an FF Pentax is released
Lowepro Orion Trekker
I've got one of these, the only problem is that it's a bit difficult to put a body with longish lens attached because of the arrangement of the padding dividers and the strange 'D' shape of the bottom compartment. I used to carry my Sigma 70-300 in its case (using its belt loop) on the waist strap.

I carry my entire wedding kit, including flashes umbrellas and two bodies in that bag and arrive on the motorbike.
It has no outer straps, but my tripod goes through the carry handle and sits in the front net pocket for hiking.

Travel to and from the circuit is by bicycle so I don't want anything huge
I was looking at a Kata KT D-3N1-20 but I'm not sure if the lens would fit.
Any suggestions?
TIA
