Default Question about Crumpler Bags

Hi everyone! I have read several threads about camera bags and I have a question for all of you that have the Crumpler Bag. I think that is the one that I want after reading all of the glowing recommendations and seeing what it looks like. However, I am trying to figure out what size I need.

I just celebrated my birthday and my dh was so sweet and bought me several new lenses for my camera. (Which is another entire subject about how I am now so confused as to what lens to put on my camera at any given time!)

Back to the bag . . . I need to put the following items in it:

Nikon D50 with an 18-55mm lens attached
an 80-200mm lens
a 50mm lens
a 35-80 mm lens
an external speedlight flash
lens hood, remote control, memory cards and other small accessories.

So camera, four lenses, flash and accessories... which crumpler bag will be big enough to hold all of that without going overboard?

I was looking at the 6 Million Dollar Home or the 7, but are those too big, not big enough? Ahhhh... brain overload!!!

Thanks in advance for all your advice!

Do you want to carry all of that? Do you want the bag for storage? Travel?

I want to be able to carry all of that (but maybe not all of the time!) I tend to store all of my equipment in the same bag and just grab the bag on my way out the door when I need it. I know I probably should just choose the lenses based on what I need for the day!

I have similar equipment (Canon 40D) and I have both the 5 million and the 7 million. The 7 million holds it all. I use the 5 million when I know exactly the lens that I need. I also have a small Crumpler (hoo-jah -m) for my Canon SD1000 Digital Elph which is the most amazing of them all. Leather, extremely well constructed/padded and was only about $15. Our local Circuit City had the hoo-jah on sale when I purchased it.

Thanks for asking this....I am looking for a new bag too. One question for those that have the crumpler bags....do they have the slot on the back of the bag so that it will slide onto the handle of your pull-type luggage? My tamrac bag has that, and I am so not willing to give up that feature. tia
