Messenger (Billingham/Think Tank) type bags?

[bitchstewie]

Looking for a decent bag for stuff (not cameras but just like the style) and wondered if anyone has any suggestions of makes for Billingham/Think Tank type bags?

There's bugger all I can walk in and look at where I live so would appreciate any suggestions on online options

Was looking for similar before I went away last year but ended up with this bags little brother:

If you just want a casual bag rather than for lugging big/heavy stuff about, I bought this recently and really like it

Spooky .... I was just looking at those.

I need a smallish bag for my A6000 outfit ... body, plus 2-3 lenses, a small flashgun, plus batteries etc ..... Do you think it would be suitable?

I was recently in the market for a messenger style bag and was looking at a few options from Think Tank and Crumpler, but in the end I went for a Lowe Pro Passport Messenger, the main reason being that it was £35 from Jessops, rather than over £100 for the others and I could see it before buying.

I've been using it daily with and without my camera and/or MacBook and haven't had any problems with it,

A Billingham bag will do the job if you leave out the camera equipment dividers. They ae great bags.

I used to sell Billingham bags up to about 1999. Can't believe how much they've gone up.

I've got a Crumpler bag and quite like it. Used to have a soft spot for Domke bags too: less padding and bulk.

I would say yes to that. I have rechecked the dimensions and I seem to have a bigger bag at 12" long x 9" high x 7" wide (bought about 2 years ago) which fitted my OMD EM5, two lenses, iPad, travel guide, batteries, and a few bits for my trip to New York - it made for a great carry on bag.
