timbuk2... You can even buy a trendy version made to look used and faded. Mine has a waist strap that could cinch your rotundness IF needed. What do you carry that trouble-some camera in now if your broken bag is too small?

Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks Barrett! That is exactly the number of cameras, lenses, flash, etc. that I plan to use for the coming 1-2-3 project. I will look carefully at the Domke 803.
Thanks!
Bill: I've been using an Domke 803 for some six-seven years now.
Standard contents are:
- Konica Hexar RF (2)
- 50mm f/2 M-Hexanon (mounted, w/rigid hood)
- 28mm f/2.8 M-Hexanon (mounted, w/hood)
- 90mm f/2.8 M-Hexanon
- Konica HX-18 flash (in center pouch, beneath 90mm M-Hex)
- Nikon SB-20 flash (beneath Hexar #2 in end pouch*)
- Room for 10-15 rolls film in pouch #1
- Room for assorted stuff (last night I had my Contax Tvs in it) in pouch #2
Of course, I don't recall your mentioning what "regular" kit you'd be packing in this bag. I just described mine, but that's me. I wouldn't call the 803 a "perfect" bag, but it's about as close as I've come thus far. It's the only camera bag I've come close to wearing out, so that in itself might say something.

* The Nikon flash is covered by a Tenba "insert" that has no velcro, but serves as a kind of enclosure to keep flash and camera body from slamming/scraping against one another. It resides at the bottom of the "back" portion of the 803, and one Hexar sits atop it.

Not yet. I really like the Courierware bag - but it is so expensive for me. I also like the Tenba that Al Patterson pointed out. It's in my price range and looks like it is very well thought-out and has some great features - but it is not as 'form fitting' as the Courierware (and similar) bags.
Not in a huge hurry, just trying to fill out the wish list for my upcoming birthday...

BTW Bill, I got the Tenba Small bag from Amazon for $69.99, down from $95 or so.
You may want to see if they have a deal on the larger one. (It may be that I bought the Burnt Orange bag over the all black one. I'm looking for utility, not fashion).
Update: While Tenba claims this will fit 15.4" laptops, my 14" laptop just fits. I'd consider this good for say the 13.3" Macbook, and 14" and smaller PC's. YMMV though.
