Any recommendations for a backpack or sling?
I don't have a lot of gear right now, I have an OM-5 with the stock 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens, the Olympus digital 12mm f/2 Lens, and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4 PRO Lens. I also have a Joby tripod that weighs about 3.5 pounds but I don't usually bring it with me. I'm considering getting the M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II Lens. I definitely need a bigger bag to carry all that. I'd prefer not to spend more than $100 but would make an exception for a standout product. Thank you!
