When I’m out on photo walks, I like to have both a wide lens and a zoom lens with me, but I don’t want to carry my big gear bag.

I couple weeks ago I picked up a Crossbody Bag at Uniqlo for $25, intending to use it on park outings and woods walks with Charlie (backup clothes, some wipes, a small first aid kit, water, and a snack). When we got home, I discovered that it fit my 70-200mm zoom lens perfectly, so now it is a photo walk bag, too.

It doesn’t have any padding, but that is fine for walks. It isn’t a travel bag, just an outing bag. The zipper across the top makes changing lenses easy. Plenty of room for extra batteries and a lens cloth, too.

Here it is. Left is has my 24-70mm inside, right it has my 70-200mm inside.
