drk229 Wrote:Ooh question to anyone (probably "dad"). I have the pentax k1000, a 28-80mm lens,a pretty small flash, a strap, an 85-200mm (I think, too lazy to look) lens, film, and batteries to fit into a bag. So, any ideas for a cheap bag that would fit everything, and maybe a little room for expansion.

Some Other Jackass Wrote:drk229, do you think you want a backpack/sling style bag or a shoulder bag?

The Pentax sling goes for about $40 in a few places online.
I have a small shoulder bag that measures 10" long, about 6" deep and 5" wide with a flap over the top a zippered pocket on the front, zipper mesh pocket inside in the top and one velcro divider that might give you a tad more room for your k1000. I might have had the same set up as you now have in this bag at one point as well.

Here is one of the bags I used for my cameras for a long while.

For $16, they really are a useful bag.
I have a 70-210 zoom on my K1000 and just measured the height at 5 1/2 inches when you lay it on it's back in the main compartment of the bag. The padded, velcro divider allows you to have room for anything else next to the camera.
You should think about this bag drk229.

Also the Canon backback I typed a bit about:

Fantasic bag for the price with an ocean of room. You are not yet ready for this bag, but someday... Someday.
