I’ve drooled over Crumpler Bags in the past, but up until recently I never had a need for one. I had a nice little that came with my Nikon D40x DSLR camera + lenses kit, and that was good enough. Well, it was good enough. It did just fine with holding my camera and two lenses. But now that I have the camera, an external flash, at least six lenses and several filters and attachments, there’s just no way everything will fit into my Nikon bag.
But Crumpler Bags are expensive. Super expensive, in fact. And the one I wanted, the 8 Million Dollar Home, is nearly $200, so I reconciled myself to the idea of not having it until Christmas. Then I got the brilliant idea to check eBay… and OH. MY. GOD., there was someone selling theirs — used just three times, in excellent conditions with photos to prove it — for a hundred bucks. So yeah… I bought it. I had some extra funds in PayPal that weren’t expected or even being counted on for bills, so I went for it. Merry Christmas to me? :D
Now I’m anxiously waiting for it to arrive so I can load it up with Nikon goodness!
