Which DSLR messenger bag?
I have been looking for a photo gear for quite some time now(close to 2 yrs!) and lately decided to invest in one as I 'really' need it. Below are two of my favourite shortlisted products. Please have a look, and tell me which one "out of these two" you recommend and why.
From utilitarian perspective, here is the list of things that the bag is supposed to carry:
Always:
1. D3000 with 70-300mm 3.5-5.6 attached
2. Nikkor 35mm 1.8 with hood
3. Nikkor 18-55mm kit
4. Other stuff#1: SDCard/LensPen/hood/water bottle/chocolate bars.
Occasionally needs to carry while travelling for the weekends:
4. Macbook Pro 13'
5. Pair of jeans n a tee
6. Pair of shades in a hard case
7. Other stuff#2: *whatever*
PICK ONE:
A) Retrospective 30

OR
B) Messenger 200AW

Please feel free to suggest alternatives, though am very sure I must have scanned through them all.
I'd go for the LowePro. Easy flap cover with top loading. Looks like it has more room & better material. I like the way it can attach it to the trolley.
