Crumpler Men's The 5 Million Dollar Home Camera Bag Black

Great bag for a Micro Four-Thirds camera and a couple of lenses, plus accessories. My 4 Million Dollar Home is still going strong after 7 years, aside from some fading where the sun hits it hardest. I wanted something a little bigger, though, and the 5 Million Dollar Home fits the bill. It can comfortably hold my Olympus OM-D E-M5 II with a mounted lens, small flash, Ultrapod, and various filters, batteries, etc. With smaller lenses, there's room for one lens mounted on the body and another in the bottom of the bag. With longer ones like the Olympus 75-300mm f/4.6-6.7 or the Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 there's no room for a second lens, but I can attach a lens bag to the strap on the side of the Crumpler.

The black 5 Million Dollar Home is a rugged yet stylish camera bag, sort of a chubby mini messenger. Here's what I thought about it after taking it out for a spin:INTERIOR space is well padded and lined with soft cloth: easy to see inside and kind to camera delicates. The two velcro secured dividers may be repositioned or removed. The rigid dividers have hinged wings and easily support the grip of a top-loaded camera (lens pointed down). Dividers are thin and inexpensive feeling compared to the plush dividers of the prior 5 Mill model (2009-2013).My 77D (same size as a Rebel T7i) with 18-55 3.5-5.6 IS STM and mounted hood easily fit in along with a 430EX II Speedlite and EF-s 55-250 4.0-5.6 IS STM. The 77D sits about an inch below the top edge of the compartment.It's snug but my 80D with 15-85 3.5-5.6 IS USM (reversed hood) squeezes in along with a 430EX II Speedlite and EF 35 2.0 IS USM. The 80D sits slightly below the top edge of the compartment. This bag stretches and molds to your gear, so what's snug at first loosens up slightly after a month or two. Nevertheless, interior space is tight and best suited for a small DSLR, e.g., Rebel T7i/SL2, or mirrorless.EXTERIOR of this bag is a black Cordura-like fabric and more clothing friendly than prior 5 Mill designs. There's a large front pocket for flat items like filters and a zippered rear pocket for tickets, passports, etc. Like prior 5 Mills, accessories, e.g., a pouch, may be attached to the side loops. Finally, semi-rigid reinforcing material in the walls, bottom and dividers help keep its shape full or empty and offer excellent protection. The downside to this stiffness is the bag can't be flattened for packing in a suitcase.Here's Crumpler's official exterior specs: 8.66" H x 9.65" W x 6.1" D and 1.32 LB (interior dimensions not indicated). I carefully measured the 5 Mill and got somewhat different numbers:EXTERIOR MEASUREMENTS: 8" H (including handle, 9") x 11" W (top) x 8" W (bottom) x 5" D (6" including tightly buckled flap)INTERIOR MEASUREMENTS: 6.75" H x 7" W (top) x 4" DI own the previous 5 Mill and was disappointed the new design is about 20% smaller in height and depth. I can easily fit my 80D/15-85 3.5-5.6 IS USM with mounted hood (not reversed!) in the old 5 Mill. The new 5 Mill requires removing or reversing the hood or the lid won't close.Strap webbing is similar to 2" wide car seatbelt material. Unfortunately, it lacks a shoulder pad and you need one if you stuff the bag. I added a comfy Timbuk2 Deluxe Messenger Bag Strap Pad.USING THE 5 MILL: The 5 Mill is featherlight and great to work from on bike or foot. With flap secured with velcro, it's quick on the draw: one handed flap lift and the top loaded camera is out in a second. I rock the 5 Mill like a satchel—sling style—and it's a comfortable carry: bag weight is evenly distributed across the shoulder and chest, making it feel lighter. Finally, although the 5Mill is stiff at first, it molds to your body, feeling more comfy with repeated use.Crumpler claims weather resistance and I put it to the test hiking on Oahu's Koʻolau mountains. A sudden downpour soaked me to the core (no shelter for miles) but not a drop got inside the 5 Mill! The lid sports gussets on the sides, helping keep out dust and rain.FINAL BLURB: I'm disappointed with the thin dividers and smaller capacity of this 5 Mill compared to prior models, but it still has a lot going for it: great build, stylish, protective, lightweight and fast on the draw. And the slim profile makes it ideal for needling through crowded city streets and public transportation. If you're a gear minimalist planning to carry a small DSLR or mirrorless system, the 5 Million Dollar Home is an excellent choice.
