Nice bag, great price


Did I mention I have somewhat of a bag-fetish..? I love bags almost as much as my wife does- and that says a lot... The difference is that my bags are functional and tax-deductible whereas my wife's bags are often disfunctional and disposable...
My bags are mostly 'work-bags': bags to hold & protect camera's and other gear. I have six bags just lying in my office and another 4 bags in my closet.
Now today I received an email from a company called Oribags. Usually I throw these ads out but when I spotted a picture of a Crumpler bag in the email, my attention was grabbed. It turns out they had a special deal going on for a messenger type bag called the Six Million Dollar Bag for US $69,90. Now I already have a Crumpler and I love the quality. But I want a bigger model as well. The Six Million Dollar Bag is a fairly big, waterproof, well-cushioned camerabag. I wanted the biggest model they had and when I searched their website I found and ordered the Seven Million Dollar Bag for 79,90 shipped. Considering B&H sells these bags for $145,- that is an excellent price!
This bag will serve double-duty: not only will it hold one or two DSLR's with a few lenses but it will also hold my Sony EX1R videocamera if I don't want to bring my full-fledged Petrol camerabag.
With this latest acquisition I have 'a bag for every occasion', as my wife likes to say...
