Crumpler Jimmy Bo 600 dark brown - bag (accessory)

Customer Review

I had been looking for a bag for traveling. Something in which the camera is protected and no backpack. I have tried the Crumpler Jimmy Bo 400, 500 and 600. Equal first, three of them came back.

Let's see what the manufacturer would imagine so:
* 400-007: SLR with mid-size zoom lens
* 500-004: SLR with large tele-lens
* 600-002: SLR with short zoom lens + another midsize lens or an external flash

From minimal curiosity out, I've tried, what really fits in in the respective bags. Small items, such as spare battery or lens cleaning pen disregarded. Were available:
* Camera: Canon EOS 60D
* Flash: Canon Speedlite 430EX II
* Fixed focal length: Canon EF 50mm 1: 1.8 II
* Always plan: Canon EF-S 15-85mm IS USM
* Tele: Canon EF 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 L IS USM
* Wide: Canon EF-S 10-22mm / 1: 3.5-4.5 USM

What has now reingepasst?
* 400-007
- Tele, but sits very tightly.
- Always plan + Wide, also quite narrow.
- Always plan + Blitz (without shell!), Also very tight.
Conclusion: If you want to take more than one objective, which is hereby badly off.

* 500-004
- Always plan + Wide, pleasant extra: the second lens can be "hidden" under the folding wall.
- Always plan + + Wide fixed focal length, but very tightly.
- Only the Tele.
Conclusion: Eng or telephoto. But the folding wall is nice.

* 600-002
- Tele + one of the other lenses. The second lens can be separated by one of the two freely adjustable partitions from the rest.
Conclusion: For the size I can almost take my backpack. Only that in there all fits.

All three bags are not for a battery grip (BG-E9) let alone a lens hood (ET-73B and applies for EW-83E) suitable. That just does not fit the back and front.

The processing of the bags itself seems to be very good, stable straps and fasteners.

A star I nevertheless draw from all three. On the one hand because it is generally quite narrow and because small pockets, pockets, hook / loop missing me (for keys, flashlight, lens cap and so on) on the outside.

Addendum: What I really wanted for ages grudge times: I then bought the Lowepro Nova 180 AW. Since the camera with battery grip, and Tele Lens Hood (round course only "wrong") reinpasst loose. Up to two of the aforementioned lenses also fit yet. And odds and ends. And more small items in the side pockets. And more in the other bags.
