Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / February 2007Weather protective camera bag?
Looking for a good camera bag to hold an SLR body, which is weather sealed, and 3 lenses that are not. Getting caught in a downpour is pretty much guaranteed. I'll do my best to keep everything out of the river. Suggestions? Big and bulky won't do. It needs to fit in my luggage with the rest of my gear. The lenses are not terribly expensive. This is partly by design.

This one: http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/52862274/original http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/52862308/original They hav ea full line of bags, many of which are AW--meaning they have a built-in rain-cover. It's saved my gear quite of number of times in heavy, estended downpour.

This would be a Sigma 75-300 F4-5.6 APO attached to a Pentax > K10D. I have the 100 AW here at the moment for testing and I don't think it would go in that one. Haven't tried the 200. I must say I mostly like the 100AW. I've been using it to take a camera and a couple of lenses when I cycle in the morning. Only hassle is that it will swing around when you don't want it to sometimes when you bend over to do things, like in my case fiddle with the bike. Cheers, Wayne SignatureWayne J.

Slingshot 200 AW is quite versatile and you can readjust the internal partitions to suit your equipment. The maximum depth you can get is about 8 inches (20 cm).

I have the 200AW and that Sigma lens, but on a KM 5D, which I don't imagine is very much different in size from a K10D. It all fits just fine. The 200AW is a great bag, with everything really well thought out. I haven't had the occasion to put its AW cover to the test, though. - PG > I am intrigued by the Slingshot 200 AW.

(sorry if this post appears twice - I'll blame Google Groups) I have the Sigma 75-300 on my KM 5D in a Slingshot 200AW - fits just fine, along with a variety of other lenses and accessories. It's a great bag, though I haven't tested the AW bit yet. - PG > Looking for a good camera bag to hold an SLR body, which is weather > sealed, and 3 lenses that are not.

You might try taking a look at your local boating store and see what they have. Don't look for "Camera" bags, just bags.

They make both hard and soft cases.
