Are all DSLR bags out there fugly? Looking for suggestions.
7 months ago

So, I've been looking into picking up a bag for my gear, and it seems that 90% of all bags out there look like something my 60 year old parents would use. Seriously, who designs these things?

Clearly function > form, but why must I chose between the two? The only functional + decent looking bag I ran into is this: Incase DSLR Sling Pack. But long behold, its not water-resistant (dealbreaker). Not sure why anyone would risk putting $$$ of gear in a bag that's not guaranteed to be water-resistant, but that's a topic for another day.

So, I'm looking for any suggestions on a light-weight, decent looking DSLR sling or backpack. My gear is as follows:

  • Nikon D800
  • Nikkor 50mm 1.8G
  • Nikkor 24-85 3.5-4.5 G VR
  • Nikkor 70-200mm f.2.8 VR I

Bonus if these also fit in the bag

  • Meike Vertical Battery Grip for D800
  • 15" Mackbook Pro
  • Apple iPad 2
  • Associated Batteries + Chargers for above

Thanks for any suggestions.
