I'm looking for my holy grail - I currently have a small Lowepro (no PN on it apart from LP-150 on label) that holds my D3200 with a smaller telephoto like a 18-105 or 55-200 but I want to be able to carry 1x spare lens - specifically my 35mm f/1.8 prime - as well.

This would be for motorsport travel - FoS & Austrian GP so haul-ability is crucial.

Heres a crude layout of what I want:



Top-loading with either an internal compartment or bottom zip separate section for the spare lens. Total depth around 200-220mm.

Lowepro website isn't clear on what internal compartments there are.

Thanks Chaps. The two very nice bags listed above are indeed lovely, but above what I want to spend. I am looking more for function than form.

I understand the point about backpacks being good for long days, but they are not good for quickly getting at the camera for those impromptu shots.

I quite like the above but would want a vertical divider.

I have a Lowepro Slingshot 100, it's perfect for quickly getting at the camera and will store what you are wanting it to.
That looks ideal! Thanks - you might have just solved my issue.
