I am using a Lowepro bag, Hoya filters, Opteka remote for my camera and I am definitely not missing Canon accessories. Last edited by robimahanta : 21st January 2010 at 18:48. | |

I am getting a pricing of $251 including $51 UPS courier from Adorama. Its cheaper than the bangalore price of 14k (with warranty). Not much difference on the grey price (13k). Now if I get someone who is travelling, I save on the shipping (total=9.2k). Gift option is seen on adorama, so I am not sure about the 'duty' yet. It gives option to seperate the invoice to a different address. Now, I should make up my mind: 1) get from grey here (13k) 2) get through someone coming from US (9.2k) 3) get it shipped from adorama (11.5k) | |

No it is not weather proof. the design for the quick open zippers makes it not even fully dust proof. Do not use this bag in a sandstorm or rain. It does have a rain hood that works for light rain. I did carry this bag in very messy envrioments (hiking trail) but a) individually wrapped each lens in a zip lock bag b) wrapped my body-lens-battterypack combo in clingwrap leaving only he UV filter end of my lens open. c) store the HF10, SD870 (now replaced by the S90) etc.. in individual bags inside the top compartment The reason i used this bag is that I could access the body-lens combo without puttting the bag down. Only the LowePro Fastpack 350 and Tamrac Aero 3385 compare. I did compare the Kata to these 2 bags but found the Kata to offer more shock protection (the LowePro was the worst) and the Kata was also the best organised. Besides the Kata is the only one of the 3 to allow left shouldered and right shouldered sling at the expense of the water bottle holder. | |

1. you may want to check out Tiffen. i would suggest you get a 77mm and get step down rings. that way the filter would still be useful if you change your lense to say a 17-40 or a 16-35. (talking from experience coz i got a tiffen for the 18-55 but now have no use for it since i changed lenses to 17-40). 2. another option although may be slightly expensive could be cokin's. | |

Also if you are getting a bag get the biggest bag you think you can carry. trust me your camera kit will grow and then you will need a new bag. So get a bag that has room for 2-3 more lenses than you currently have and maybe even a spare body. BTW Kata has upgraded the 3N1-30 to a 3N1-33 - the later has a compartment for a laptop. | |

with the bag i've right now, i can carry only the camera+lens and the handycam (or another lens) and a the cables/chargers. since i've 3 lenses now, 2 camera bodies (yes, i've a 35mm too), a handycam, media (mem cards/rolls), accessories (remotes, cables, chargers etc.) i will certainly need a bigger bag. i've a 5ft tripod and monopd, but i've a sling bag for that. i think the 3N1-30 is the better of the three. since i don't carry around a laptop, the 3N1-33 will be an overkill. btw, how much did it cost you and where did you get it from? the Indian distributor doesn't have the 3N1-30 listed. guys, could you recommend a good read for using the 50mm effectively? i've read many articles on the net, but all in bits and pieces. | |
