At the time I'm reading this:

1 EUR = 9.33309 NOK or 1 USD = 8.20325 NOK

Their "Jude" model (NOK 2,299) looks like a bag I have.

But I didn't pay $280 dollars for mine; more like $12 IIRC. It was in a
clearance bin at one of the local camera stores.

One site that has a collection of bags outside the mainstream is here:

No idea if their prices compare internationally, but maybe you get ideas
you can look up from UK vendors. I also happen to know the couple who
run the shop. Two pharmacists who abandoned the rat race, went rural and
started this. I don't get commission though... :-)

Good hunt.

I'm still on the search for a decent bag. The last time I bought a bag I
really liked, was a gigantic Tamrac from a list member on the south
coast of
the UK (Brighton? Peter?) who I believe had a shop there and moved to
Japan
(is that right?) - this was many moons ago when a Pentax digital
camera of
any sort was just speculation. Great bag, I store my film cameras in
it etc,
but only useful otherwise day to day if you have some poor devil to
cart it
around for you. I have a backpack which I got as a free gift with a DSLR
body that is too small, and another free bag which just takes a body
and a
50mm lens attached.

Over the years from film, I've noticed that many bags have moved away
from
being able to house two camera bodies. I assume that because you now have
variable ISO, manufactures don't feel you need to have two bodies, as you
might once have done using different film. The thing is, what I want is a
bag that is capable of housing two bodies with lenses attached and enough
room for spare batteries and all the sundries of the digital age. Many of
the places I take photos, especially in the Summer are dusty environments
(horse stables for a start), and frankly, I don't want to be changing
lenses
on site. I normally have one body set up with the 16-85 & the other
with a
55-300.

What I am fed up doing, is carrying a bag which doesn't suit, and a
shopping
bag for the other camera. I don't really want a larger backpack, or a bag
which screams that it contains camera equipment inside. I'm not sure
there
is anything out there that fits the job I want done.

Any ideas?

Malcolm
