Hey everyone. I'm pretty new wedding photographer and am looking for advice on how to manage your equipment while shooting. As of now I just use my lowepro backpack for the majority of my equipment. I set it down and just grab a lens or two, a flash and carry it in my purse. This looks unprofessional and I'm afraid I am going to damage my lenses. With this said I am looking for a shoulder bag that is affordable, somewhat stylish, slim and comfortable.

I am considering these bags:

The One Bag by undfind
Shootsac
Kelly Moore-Kelly Boy

Let me know if you have used one of these and what ya thought! Thanks!

    I love my Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home bag. I often toss my wallet and cell phone in it with my camera stuff and it's my purse and camera bag in one. I also have the 6 Million Dollar Home bag for when I need to carry more.

    thanks guys! Both of those bags look really nice, however I need a little more space if I want to carry my 70-200 lens. I'm think I'm going to go with The One Bag by Undfind. They are a small company so I don't know much about them but the bag looks like it is just what I need. Have you ever heard of them? I kinda wanted to ask around before I purchased. Thanks again for your help! :)

    Crumpler has a whole range of bags in all different sizes. If you're looking for a combination laptop/camera bag like The One Bag you mentioned, you might like the Crumpler 8 Million Dollar Home bag. (I don't know anything about the bag you mentioned other than what I saw on their web site.) I went with Crumpler because I heard a lot of good things about them and liked the slim shoulder bag style that doesn't scream "camera bag". In my 5 Million Dollar Home bag, I routinely carry my camera with a 50mm prime on it, an external flash, and a 18-105 zoom, plus my wallet and a few small accessories, and the 6 Million Dollar Home bag holds plenty more, so I'm sure their even bigger bags will hold whatever you need.
