Hi all, sorry it is another "what bag shall I buy?" thread but it is very hard to guess from website stats and shops these days don't have great stock.

I have just upgraded my walkabout lens to a 24-70 f2.8 (on a 5d2) and now find my smallest bag is now way too small. I need a shoulder bag that is as small as possible that only needs to take the camera with lens fitted and nothing else (except for spare cards). The bag that I have that is too small is the LowPro Apex 120 AW (http://store.lowepro.com/shoulder-bags/apex-120-aw) which I have had for donkey's years.

I have a rucksack and Crumpler Muffin Top 5500 which are fine for when I want to carry more stuff - but I need something smaller for the 'just out on a day trip and don't want to carry anything other than the camera' situation.

Any suggestions?

ETA: Forgot to say I have narrowed it down to a SubUrban Disguise 5 but am not sure it would fit my gear. Anyone got one?

Updating to close the thread. Ended up ordering a Think Tank Digital Holster 20 as it looks just the ticket.

You never really gave people much time to respond.
Hope you like the TT Holster, but if there's any need to change or consider something else, I'd have suggested:

Or since you like the Holster idea:

What can I say, I am impatient smile

Thanks for the links, not a brand I had considered (or heard of). I was basing most of my research on Speedgraphic's paper catalogue as it was easier to flick through quickly...!

I use a Lowepro Toploader. It's perfect for this kind of use.
