    Hello,

    I’m looking for a messenger bag. I own a Sony system and several lens.

    looking for bag that would fit 2-3 lens with a body.
    I have looked at Peak Design and ONA bag.
    I currently own a Manfrotto Messenger Bag. It is very hard to take out lens from that.

    any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I actually love the v2/Bigger version of the Bug Out Bag by Sal Cincotta. I can carry lenses, bodies, bodies attached to lenses, extra supplies, and even speedlights/ad200s in that bag!

    I'm afraid I can't afford fancy Bags. So, I've got this off eBay. It's VANGUARD ALTA FLY 49T Rolling/Flight Case.
    It cost me AUD$199, there was a sale and I had it at special rate.
    Check it here

    I fit Canon 6D Mk2, Sigma 50mm with hood, Tamron 24 - 70mm with hood, Tamron 70 - 200mm with hood, iPad 10, Canon 600 Flash, extension tubes, batteries and a bit more.
    You could have a tripod on the side n water bottle. It is secure too.
    I've taken it for travel several times, so it can be taken on board a flight.

    i find messenger bags hard to use and less secure. I prefer flipside models. They are more comfortable.
