WANTED TO BUY: camera backpack - DPChallenge Forums

Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF

I am looking to quickly purchase a decent (can be worn, but still in good condition) backpack style camera pack. I'd like to spend no more than $30 including shipping.

It would need to hold my 10D, two lenses, 550EX flash and basic accessories. If anyone has an extra or unused bag you want to sell, just let me know. Thanks.

EDIT to add... the bag also has to be large enough for the BG-E3 grip on my camera. Just came in today from Micknewton...thanks! :)

If you don't mind spending a tiny bit more you can get this. ($36.94 + ship)

If you're willing to spend $30, why not spend just a tidbit more and get a nice new bag. My LowePro Micro Trekker 200 was around $55 and holds everything you mentioned and more. The 100 can be had for under $50 I believe and is almost the same size. I bet there are a number of other great bags out there in the $40-$50 range.

I'll be looking around at the new ones, but I'm getting ready for this trip and I am trying to conserve as much cash as possible.

With shipping, I'm finding most new ones to be closer to $60....double what I'd like to spend. I may end up going that route, but figured it never hurts to ask.

I thought that grip only fit the XT?

Sorry...meant the BG-ED3, which goes on the 10D, D60 and D30

Well, I found one on Ebay. It looks like it's just about the right size for what I have. It's not top of the line, but I spent a lot of time looking around at these bags and this seems to be a pretty decent deal for the money.

I bought THIS one.

I'll let you know how I like it when it comes in. I had to buy this weekend to have any hope of getting it before I leave on Thursday. I can't wait for this trip! 3 weeks of R&R and photo taking! :)
