Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home

Owner contribution

I recently got a Crumpler Six Million Dollar Home bag. So far, it's the best bag that I've found to hold my gear, especially the 70-200. It's not perfect, but it's padded and I can work with it while its on my shoulder. Left side is the 70-200, right side has my 10-20, my 1.7 extender under it and some assorted tripod gear. The center has my D200 with the 17-55mm f/2.8. All hoods are mounted in reverse position, but I can leave the 17-55 hood mounted in forward position, also. In addition to the pocket in the top, there's also a pocket in the front, under the flap.

here is the test fit with my camera gear inside..i think it would only be good to hold camera with lens + 2 more lenses...you could stack the lenses and add the flash but it would be packed -the camera fits great and doesn't move around at all -the lens fits fine on the side but has a lot of space to move around but the space is too small to fit another lens next to it or my flash, could squeeze it in but it will rub -you can lay the lenses horizontal laying down, but that makes it tough for fast lens switching which is my whole reason for carrying a side bag when i do (i think the whole reason for this extra space is the space of the bag, more rounded than squared off corners) my review of the crumpler six million dollar home pros: stylish, great design outside and inside, camera feels very safe inside cons: little too wide for me, the strap itself could be made of softer material (like tamrac bags), the bag isn't squared at the corners but rounded so the gear doesn't fit as nice as it could, lenses don't feel safe inside overall, great looking bag...little too wide for me with extra space inside though...undecided if i will keep it yet Update after 1 week of use: after rearranging the inside of the bag and 1 week of use, this bag has grown on me..it's very comfy and holds my gear well Photo shows: Nikon D200 + 18-200mm vr Top Row (left to right) 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye batteries, body caps, and other junk can fit here Bottom Row SB-600 flash 17-55mm f/2.8 my review of the crumpler six million dollar home pros: stylish, comfy, great design outside and inside, camera feels very safe inside, after rearranging the dividers the gear fits much better than before and doesn't move cons: still wider than i prefer, the strap itself could be made of softer material (like tamrac bags) overall, took some getting used to but the bag has grown on me, it is very comfy to wear and the design is great which outweighs it being so wide haha Comparison of 5 Million and 6 Million Dollar Home

After much internal debate, I decided to purchase Crumpler's new 6 Million Dollar Home. It's one of their new shoulder bags; this one replaces the Next Venue. It's a nice design, but I had a couple of issues with the bag and ultimately returned it. This is not to say that you won't like the bag. Simply, I thought another bag would be more suitable for me. I'm still looking for a replacement, and will send pictures of the bag I decide to get--probably one of Crumpler's new photo backpacks. So what are my issues with the 6 Million Dollar Home? First, there is no padding on the top of the bag. There is ample padding everywhere else, but curiously none on the top flap. I could just imagine accidentally cracking my camera's LCD. Second, the 6 Million Dollar Home, as attractive as it is, looks more like a "camera bag" than the "Next Venue." Now this is my personal opinion, and yours may differ. Other than those two points, I think its a real nice bag. It's roomy, allowing to fit the D70 with kit lens attached. For exact dimensions and number of items that will fit in the bag, see

I'm able to store the camera with my largest lens (18-200mm VR) standing up with no problem. I could probably even get my flash into one of the lower parts of the side compartment, but I like having it accessible. My Manfrotto table tripod kit slips very nicely into the front pocket Thanks to Galla47 for photos and comments

The 5D is missing from the photo as it was used taking this photo. Looking at the photo it looks like the bag is far to small for all this but it fits quite comfortably.

It's thinner, less versatile and less spacious. But it does fit the 5D with attached lens + two extra lenses.

My Crumpler 6 Million Dollar Home finally came in. Here are a few pictures of the bag for those of you trying to figure out the size of it (and having trouble). Contains a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG EX APO on the left and an EOS 20D with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM in the middle. In the right compartment is my battery charger, two end caps for the 50mm. The middle compartment holds my camera, of course. In the mesh pocket is a pack of Kodak lens cleaning paper, a microfiber spudz cloth, a 58mm circular polarizer and a blower bulb. There's plenty more space in the mesh pocket to throw things like extra batteries, flash cards, etc. (I know these are terrible pics, forgive the lighting and my P&S) This is the crumpler next to a 1 gallon jug of distilled water for size comparison. I tried to pick an object people likely have sitting around so that you could see just how big the bag is next to a real world object. Basically, the 6 million dollar bag is about the size of two gallon jugs sitting beside each other. It's not that heavy, however. =) There's a shot of the inside with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG EX APO on the left and an EOS 20D with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM in the middle.

In the mesh pocket is a pack of Kodak lens cleaning paper, a microfiber spudz cloth, a 58mm circular polarizer and a blower bulb. There's plenty more space in the mesh pocket to throw things like extra batteries, flash cards, etc. The bag seems pretty well built. All the compartments are removable, and you can switch them around anyway you like. The inside of the bag is fabric, and the compartment walls have Velcro so you can basically arrange the walls anyway you feel like, and/or completely remove them. The base of the bag is rigid, and the whole thing feels well padded. To close the bag, the main hinge has both Velcro and a plastic clasp. The strap can be adjusted by opening the Velcro part and then adjusting the strap under it to adjust the length of the strap, then you just close it and go. I was sort of disappointed with the size of this case, at least initially. I wanted something smaller. However this basically fits all my gear, (and has enough room for another lens, really) at the moment, so it may work out perfectly. I'll keep you updated. If anyone wants any pictures of this bag at angles and/or comparison shots that I haven't taken, post here, and I'll see what I can do. And, if anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer those too. Hope this helps some people who are thinking about getting a crumpler. Thanks to Future Blues for photos and comments
