Where to try out cam bags in chicago???

[efroten]

Can anyone tell me a good place to LOOK at camera bags in person in Chicago? I'd love to run over B&H photo when needed, but unfortunately that is not an option in Chicago! :) I need a place that stocks a good selection of camera bags so I can try them out. I have heard Helix is a good choice, and while I like Calumet they seem to not have a great selection to look at in store.

Any help would be appreciated.

Helix is a good choice.

What size bag are you looking for? Best buy has some smaller lowepro bags which are nice, and the cost is reasonable.

I have a lowepro 75AW toploader that I use all the time. I mainly want somewhere that has a really large selection of bags to look at so I can browse through them. Best buy is pretty limited and only carries small bags which I'm not really interested in. I bought a Lowepro SLingshot 300 from BH online a while back and it was not what I was looking for when it arrived. Much larger than I expected and not what I was looking for so I returned it. I really need to check out a bag before I pay for it to avoid this again.

I guess I am mainly looking for Lowepro bags but I'm not against looking at others.

Check out Calumet Photo or Helix!

Try Central Camera at 230 South Wabash in downtown Chicago. They have tons in stock there. It's an old place with very knowledgeable salespeople too.
