Crumpler Question?

[BJ Bignell]

Were there not some bags with "weenie" or "wiener" in the name? Maybe that's enough to get it blocked! You must be protected from the sinful influence of the wiener! 😀

(Sorry if I've just got you blocked from this site, too!)

I have a Budgie Smugggler. For me it is the wrong size for almost everything I have. ( I don't have a parakeet) Either too big or too small. Also, they use a a very large hook-and-loop fastening patch. It makes a lot of noise when you are trying to get into the bag.

However, it came with a matching digital camera pouch that is perfect for my Gossen Super Pilot exposure meter.

I guess im just picky but all i really need is a Timbuk2 messenger bag with some padding.

If you can't find a Crumpler to suit, check out this Domke bag . I got it last month and took it to NYC on a daytrip. Fit my simple Bessa kit (see below), a paperback, small notebook, and film (with room for another lens).

It does look a bit handbag-like, but the price is decent. It also comes in black and khaki, and has two adustable dividers inside. The rubberized strap is a good touch, too -- sticks to your shoulder.

I think I like this.

Crumpler tends to make their bags seem larger than they are.

Yep.

I have a Budgie Smuggler for my 300D kit. It's not huge, but ont he outside it is much bigger than on the inside.

Just a quick question. Do you guys like the crumpler photo bags? Not sure which one to even be looking at. Really just want to carry 1 camera (a RF or SLR) some filters, film, flash and a book and not have it look like a camera bag. Tryin to do this on a budget so i'm really hesitating.....

Any opinions?


Thanks.

I have one that I am using to hold lenses and a body that don't get alot of use, it is well padded BUT heavy. I prefer my Domke f6 little bit smaller [than the f2] I added an additonal 2 pocket insert so it has 6 total. I can put two bodies, 4 lenses, etc lots of film. Light and comfortable

and less expensive to boot

Ended up getting the Safrotto bag off of EBAY. Seemed more along the lines of something I would carry too and from work in the city anyways.

That guy is a killer with the shipping and handeling, but still cheaper then Domke.

I bought one of those Safrotto bags from that seller (after you posted the link). I own 4 Domke bags and I love their quality, so I'm anxious to see how it compares to Domke.

Unhappy with Crumpler and other small bags I have looked at lately,
I recently bought another Domke F-5XB. That makes three now...

Got my Safrotto bag. Very well made. Not too heavy. A little smaller then i thought it was going to be. Seems ok though. Will fit a RF and other stuff or a small SLR kit. Really wanted it for my new Bessa R3a and normal crap to carry to work. When i got my Bessa I got the $1.00 case from Photo Village and it makes the camera a little too big to fit in one of the 1/3 compartments. If I just use the bottom half it all fits nice. Do you guys keep your cameras in the never ready when in a bag? Over all great bag for the price but he rips you off on shipping. $20.00 shipping on a $35.00 bag.
