Dr. Haryax Pathak started the discussion CAMERA BAG/SUITCASE in the forum Want to Buy Camera Gear (WTB)

I want to buy a good quality camera bag / suitcase for international travel.

I have 2 camera bodies, 4 lenses (two 18-55mm, one 55-300mm and one 200-500mm) and a tripod. Need a protective bag that can accomodate all and sustain baggage handling at airports.

Budget – Under 10k.

Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

@Shaik Mohamed Naina Mohamed Centered Metering. I wanted to capture it better but it was a fleeting moment.
