My new messenger bag

Yay!!! Finally I have a new camera bag for all my heavy loaded camera gears. I've been using an average size LowePro since I owned a Canon 10D and works like a treat until my addiction to photography getting serious and owning more and more gears. Now my canon 20D together with the battery grip is a tight fit inside the small bag. Not to mention the extra new macro lens that I just bought not along ago. So I've decided to invest into a bigger bag for all the equipments.

I've been doing research on which camera bags to get and also like the idea of a messenger bag that doesn't shout out "camera bag". The obvious choice is the Crumpler million dollar bag, because everyone has them! And also just because everyone has one, so I despise the idea of getting one like everybody else with the bag shouting out as "camera bag". Mind you they ain't cheap either at $180 a pop, and I hate their logo. So I went for alternatives and got myself a Timbuk2 messenger bag.

The cool thing about Timbuk2 bag is you can customise your own bag using their online ordering system. Way cool. So the one you seeing in the pics is my own signature custom-designed bag for moi!!! And it's great size for all my camera gears too. The only drawback is it's not made for camera, but simply a messenger bag, so there is no padding inside. So next step, I will have to sew some padding inside to make it cosy and comfort for my camera. Love it.
