I've had my Lowepro Exchange Messenger bag for about a year now and I'm in the market for a new bag. My current bag is great but I am running out of space for the basic gear that I'd like to carry with me. The internal pocket is fine but I'd love to find something with a lot of little pockets to keep my gear organized. I've found plenty of options but most of them are far too expensive. Anyone have any ideas for someone on a really, really tight budget?

Have you looked at Tamrac System 3 and System 6 bags? Really good for the money. It might be worth looking at craigslist for used bags too. Over here Hama bags often can be found on sale cheap, I don't know about the US. Lowepro Nova series is another cheaper series with acceptable but not great quality.

Used bags on Craigslist or e-bay might be your best bet...I have several OLD bags that I'm hanging onto but have both a backpack bag for "light" trips (for me) and a wheeled bag for when I'm bringing most / all of my gear...My 200-400 has its own bag that it came with which is the only item that doesn't fit in the wheeled bag...

Btw. Have you read the first line of the description? I found it stressed a bit of too much detail.

Yeah, the fact it is so cheap and coming from China i'm not really expecting a genuine Lowepro to be honest, but we will see what the quality is like when it arrives. For the cash anything close to an original will do me
Will let you all know what it is like.

Well, the bag arrived and i can't fault it, if that isn't a genuine product then they can fool me all day long. Best £35 I've spent in a long time. I would have no issues at all in recommending getting one of these from China. A fraction of the cost, delivery was a day earlier than their earliest date and packaged really well. I've tried so hard to pic faults but couldn't. E-bay triumphs again.
