    I've just bought a Canon 800D and Tamron super wide lens for general landscape and architectural photography. I also plan on adding a 50mm f1.8 lens to this collection. Can anyone suggest a bag suitable to transport this considering that I may be travelling by bus and train to some of my locations. Thank you.

    TMcG, I volunteer at St.Vincent DePaul, and there are heaps of photographic bags suitable for what you want, As long as the bag is padded multi pocketed. as for traveling on public transport, as long as it looks plain without expensive camera gear written all over it, you should be right. Most importantly they will be cheap compared to a new one.

    Sounds like a modest amount of gear. SO you can go with a smaller to mid size bag. I hate calling out specific bags because everyone has different opinions but I can throw out some things to think about. There are some nice bags out there from newer companies and kickstarter projects which make camera bags that don't look like traditional ones from companies like lowepro. Messenger style camera bags are popular for on the go easy access bags.
    I honestly don't mind the standard black camera bag look, but I like the ones that zip towards the inside so someone can't get gear out while on your back. I have a one called the flipside which i really like. Another one i would recommend looking at is a sling style to give will suit the idea that you may not want a backpack style on a train.

    I would think about finding on that has straps for a tripod since you mentioned landscape and architecture you will probably find yourself investing in a good tripod at some point.
