Once again consulting the all knowing oracle of knowledge that is SigForum. I need a new camera bag. Requirements are to hold my Nikon D7100 and 3 lenses, one of which is my big daddy 200-500mm zoom, monopod and a water bottle.

I've got a Lowa medium sized sling bag which has served me well. But attaching a lens case on the outside for the 200-500 is proving to be not a good solution. Looking for a, "Daypack" or sling solution but I'm guessing with the amount of gear a daypack is more practical. Need something I can carry, throw in the truck take on a boat, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this is what you need.


We have a small bag with their "hammock". So far the bag has held up well over the years and the hammock makes the camera easy to access.

I love my Domke

Domke. Mine is 20+ years old and still going strong.

I like Think Tank.

I really like my think-tank, originally bought it for m43s but now use it for my Canon Full Frame.

Been using the same one going on 8 or 9 years.

Another vote for Domke. I have had mine for over twenty years, and it still holds up, and holds everything.

Thanks for the suggestions. I went downtown to Stewart’s Photo today and picked up my this;

It checks all of the boxes and has a system for rigging the tripod on the outside of the bag. I used a Tenba shoulder bag for years with my 35mm SLR’s and it worked well. I have no doubt this will hold up just as well.

Besides, there was a parking space big enough for me to parallel park my pig of an F-150 in right in front of the shop. For those not familiar, this does not happen in downtown Anchorage in summertime. I took that as a sign I should buy the bag from them...

Excellent choice, Tenba. I have been buying their bags for about 30 years now.

Consider Hazard bags. More protection. Easy to configure.

Peak Design makes some nice bags in different sizes. I'm happy with mine.

I have a couple from https://apecase.com/ They have held up well and there are a few sizes and configurations to choose from.

I was going to chime in and say "Domke" but it looks like I'm too late.

Simple, and you make the inside what you want.
I like the canvas vs. nylon.
I have two F2 bags.

I like Tamarac bags.

I have one that carries two extra bodies, and a bunch of lenses.

I have two Billngham bags. They are great. https://billingham.co.uk/

Lowepro, dry zone is a good one.
