    Camera bag advice for D3200 + 70-300VR needed

    Hi,

    I am in market for a good, minimal in design and durable bag with waist or belt attachment for my d3200 + 70-300vr, and preferably for just that( I don't need room for anything else).

    Do you have any recommendations?

    Thank you in advance,
    Milos

    Hi Milos,

    and preferably for just that( I don't need room for anything else).
    You say that now!

    Those bags will work - for a while; but sooner or later you'll find you want/need to carry more* and then it'll be useless and consigned to the cupboard at home, just like my two previous versions are.

    * e.g.
    filter(s)?
    flashgun?
    another lens?
    or two

    If you're sure, that's fine, go ahead and buy one of these - but be advised I thought I was sure too

    You might also want to think about how you'll use it, over one shoulder it may slip around and be a nuisance if you're actively hill climbing or similar.

    Welcome to the CiC forums from me; Dave

    Thank you Robin, Trevor and Dave for recommendations.

    Unfortunately in Serbia there are no photo stores with ThinkTank bags(would love to give them a chance), I will check out lowepro toploader pro 70 AW at a local store

    I appreciate the advice Dave, but I already have a larger bag that is (still ) big enough for almost all of my equipment. This kind of bag will be for casual walks in the city and some short weekend trips,
    I will use it strictly attached to belt or via waist strap, shoulder will only be used as support if waist strap would be chosen, as I often find the slipping around to really be a nuisance.

    Thank you for warm welcome

    I like cambags.com for researching camera bags.

    Ah good.

    For what it's worth, I also use Lowepro bags - I think I have 4 now, all different sizes - as you say, they are useful on specific occasions.

    Just wanted to update, I went with the bigger Lowepro toploader pro 75, it's slightly bigger than I need, but a bit more space in camera bags never hurt anyone . Thank you again all for suggestions
