yes, the long-awaited, long-sought-after, illusive Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home. and i love it just as much as i'd always imagined.
after stalking an online store that sells them at a discount, waiting for them to be stocked after weeks of being backordered, i finally gave up and purchased from my local camera store. we paid a little more for it, but oh well.
the brown exterior is more green than it looks in the photo, and i love that. :) for those of you considering purchasing the 4, 5 or 6 (or 7) Million, i'll share what i can fit in this bad boy:
drebel xt body
50mm lens (usually attached to body)
18-55mm kit lens
spare battery, memory card
lens cleaning kit (baggie w/ fluid, cloth and bulb-brush)
filter case & filter
and there's still room for at least one more lens - or a flash unit or light meter. i will say that i was worried the 6 Million would be too diaper-baggish, and while it is a bit larger, once i got all of my equipment into the 5 Million at home, i was kinda wishing i'd bought the 6. so... if you're torn, i'd recommend aiming higher. i do love the 5 though. :)
