View Full Version : Top loader bag for 350D with battery grip?

Hello, it will save me a year of internet surfing if anyone could help me with this.

I already had a top loader/holster type camera case that I kept my EOS30 in, and I thought that as the D350 is so small it would still fit in with the battery grip, but the battery grip is massive!

Has anyone got that combo of D350+grip+med size non pro lens in that sort of bag and if so what is it?

My current lens is the 28-105mm 3.5-4.5 usm II, I plan on eventually getting the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens for walk-about travel-light shooting, which is probably of comparable dimensions.


Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Actually I think the 17-85 IS might be a fair bit larger, so I might need some spare room length ways.

I have a Lowepro holster bag for my KM7D with sigma 28 - 200 and still have room for another lens or flash unit.....I believe it is REZO 170...that is close...

Consider the Lowepro Toploader 65 with an accessory lens case. This is what I use with my 20D and 28-135IS, and I carry a Sigma 12-24 in an attached Lens Case 1W (which can be detached if I want to carry only one lens). There's enough room in the *unpadded* front pocket for a flash. Also enough room inside for an extra battery or two.

Cheers both for that, it prompted me to look at the lowepro site. I then measured the height of the camera with grip and realised that it was 5.5" which means you have to go for something that they count as a semi-pro/pro sized bag.

Actually that 65AW looks like the sort of thing I'm thinking of. Geez I'm lazy, I should have just gone straight to lowepro, they have a bag for every occasion!

I'll probably go and order one of those unless anyone else want to earn respect points and suggest something else they think's real good (Sorry, respect points have zero monetary value)

Thanks.

I don't use the BG with my 20D, but I did use one with my old D30, which is slightly larger than the 20D. It fit just fine.

When you buy, look on eBay for a seller named "photococan"... They sell their Lowepro stuff at very low prices there, and service is excellent. I'm in no way affiliated with them... just recommending them for low prices and good service.
