Crumpler 6 and 7 million dollar home bags

Postby Willy wombat on Mon Nov 28, 2005 10:30 pm

Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with these bags. I am looking to get one and would like to know if there are any issues associated with them. Comments or alternative suggestions appreciated

Edit - PS just came across Gary's funny anti crumpler rant. Hope i dont get plastered as a too cool for school type because i liked the look of the expensive bag! :lol: :lol:

I own the "Company Embarrasment"camera bag. The only issue that I'd be concerned about is whether the bags that you are interested in can comfortbly hold the equipement that you intend to carry. I'd recommend that you bring all your cameras gear into the shop and test it in the bag.

Other than that I am more than happy with my crumpler bags (I have three of them. One camera bag, one laptop bag and a messenger bag)

I had a puppet as a camera bag. It was really good when i started it fit everything and all was good but now i have more equipment I have found I can house it all in there.

So I sold it and got a lowepro....

That being said, I wish I didnt sell it because when I am tavelling I want to travel light and that bag would have been awsome to fit in the bare essentials.

So what I am saying is that you may find that you run out of room but you probably can't go wrong with it later as a backup bag.
