For the most part, I don't like new camera bags. They either look like purses or over modern sling bag things. So, I decided to have one made out of repurposed WWII canvas from issued duffle bags. The end result hosts:

1. My Fuji X-Pro 1 with lens attached
2. Two extra x-mount lenses
3. My Leica M6 with lens attached
4. My 11" MacBook Air
5. Everything else I like to have one me when shooting.

You can see more details here, but here's the end game:

Looks like a real nice bag but my off the shelf A&A bag has served me well for about 5 or 6 years now (ignore the carry on underneath).

I'm having W Durable make me a camera bag, too--though, mine will be quite a bit smaller and simpler than yours. It's nice being able to pick exactly how you wanr your bag setup. And his prices are extremely reasonable, less than I would have paid for something off-the-shelf from Billingham or Domke.

K, my issue with A&A bags is the zippers. Not only are they slower to open and create smaller openings, but you have to always be careful not to scratch up your gear when you take it out or put it in. I want to be able to open my bag and take out my camera without having to look down at what I'm doing.
