One Body, Two Lenses: Which Bag?

[Ken Ford]

Big vote for the Bare-Bones-Bag , perfect for 2 lenses and a body, light on padding, but I haven't had any issues with that,

+1000 - it's padded on the bottom where it counts. Great bag!

You have an Evans Walker and it's too big?!?!
Hmmm. If you want smaller than that you're going to have to give up some padding I think.
The only thing I have smaller is a old Fogg Lyre that I use most every day. It might be perfect for what you're looking for, but it's hand made and verrrrrrrrry expensive these days.
You sure about the Evans Walker? It's a great bag.

For something that small, I have a Billingham Stowaway Pola, fits an M body w/ lens attached, and has enough room for another lens, and maybe some film, not much. But it only has the one main compartment, you'll have to rig up a divider between the spare lens and the body. I usually just stick one of the random dividers I have laying around in between, but one of these days I should actually just sew some velcro strips inside to hold the divider in place.

my daily bag is a domke 803 though. But a bit bigger. (one body, 3 lenses, flash, meter, filters, lots of film, wallet, phone, keys, map, pens, notebook, novel... it doesn't LOOK big enough to fit everything that goes into it though.)

For my smaller bag, I like the Domke F-5xa. I can carry my camera with a CV 50/2.5, a CV 35/2.5, a CV 90/3.5, a small flash, a couple extra rolls of film, and a couple filters. I can exchange the 90mm for a couple more rolls of film or the flash for more film or a larger lens.

My next size bag is the Domke F-5xb. In there, I carry my dRF camera, CV 35/1.4, CV 50/1.5, Leica 90/2 small flash, a Manfrotto table-top tripod, a couple batteries, and a case for memory cards.
