I have an RO200 with 58 (with finder,) 90 and 180. I aspire toward the 135 and two more magazines. Anyone have any thoughts on how to tote this mess around?
 
Radio Flyer. :D

I also have RO200 with 58, 90, 2 mags, and half a dozen backs, finders, etc. I find it is easiest to carry camera bandolero style, and everything else in a bag. I use Domke 5XB, I think.
 
My solution for now is to stash the two lenses not on the camera at the moment in a Lowepro Event Messenger 100 (keeping the finder for the 58 0n the camera) and a 1 1/2" Domke Gripper strap on the camera. Camera with lens on my right shoulder, Lowepro on my left. It is reasonably compact and the weights on each shoulder tend to offset each other. There is room in the small case for a meter, film, filters and other doo-dads.
 
I have a Super Press 23 with the 50mm, 65mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 250 f/5 lenses, six 6x7 backs, 12 cut film holders and a ground glass holder, and some other odds and ends. I have found two men and a boy can lug it around for me with no problems. When they aren't available, an artillery carriage helps a lot. YMMV :D
 
I have a KO Rapid M with the 60,90,180 and three backs. I found a shoulder bag that holds everything nicely (used-don't remember the brand). I also have a shoulder strap on the camera for when it's out of the bag. I don't use an external finder with the 60mm lens, as the full viewfinder view outside of the 90mm lines is a very close approximation.

In most cases I don't need all three of the backs and will leave one or two at home and use the extra space in the bag for a 35mm or digital camera (for color).

I was thinking along the lines of a sherpa, but yours isn't bad either.

Got a Tenba shoulderbag where I can put in a Mamiya 645ProTl with a prism, winder, 35/55/80/150 and a 758l together with about 10 films, a notebook (paper one), spare batteries, one macro ring, table tripod and a pencil. Same bag will hold a Fuji G690BL with the 50,65,100 and 180 (and all the rest) instead of the Mamiya but then I can only manage it 1 day.
