Hello Darren, I find most of us think of the expensive stuff in accessories, when cheaper stuff are available for pennies. And the argument is always quality and durability. What? Quality and durability in this "use and throw away" world. The bag I am talking about certainly has a lot of quality and durability:- a) First it is Made In China - pretty nice and well made like many other pricey bags from Top Brands. b) Is well padded + insulated. c) Has three compartments: Top - dual zipped + velcro for the camera body + two Lenses (one large attached); Bottom - Flash Gun + Grip + Batteries + Computer Cable + Lens Pen; Front - for Cards + Remote + Fiber Cloth. d) Estimate it will last for 3 to 5 years of good amateur use. You will get fed up any way and go for a new one. e) And here is the surprise - $ 10 wit Tax. Yes Sir, it is the Arctic Zone Lunch Bag. Look it up - the one with 3- pockets. f) Beautiful colors too for our Lady Photogs. And in many variations + color.

Also ruffians in Rome may think it is just a Lunch Bag and keep off - I had a tryst with one such ruffian in Rome. A small catch though, I sewed 3-loops from nylon webbing aka trouser belt style - one at the bottom and two at the sides. Passed the remainder nylon webbing with 2-eyelets formed by folding over and sewing the ends, thru the 3-loops on the bag. Then attached an old Targus Belt Lug from a Laptop Bag. It took me some 2 Hours of leisure time. Here in Bangalore I could have got it done by a Cobbler with materials for just $ 5 or 6 (or $ 3 by chaps on the road side). Thanks for looking. Regards. Bipin. PS: I am a DIY chap + a master mechanic. I also have a Pro Camera Sling Bag + a Back Pack with rain protection. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
