One for the bag gurus - X100s, two conversion lenses and extras... including an iPad

Did you specify that you were looking for a more masculine bag when you worked up the specs with Robyn? .

Thats for I am waiting the online configurator. Should help to find the right combination. Robyn told me last year it will be ready at the end of march?

Hmmm, found a review of the Domke F-5xc, no go on an iPad.

I'm thinking the Courierware and Porteen options are out of budget. I'm looking at the following two mass market bags at this point:

* Lowepro Urban Reporter 150 http://store.lowepro.com/shoulder-bags/urban-reporter-150

* Tamrac Zuma 3 http://www.tamrac.com/products/zuma3/

Of the two I'm liking the features of the Lowepro despite it being more expensive than the Tamrac.

Has anyone here had experience with this particular Lowepro bag?

I went ahead and ordered a Lowepro Urban Reporter 150 and will report back on how it works out. I'd really like a Porteen bag, but I finally decided the price was more than I could handle right now and also that it was a little too nice for what I have in mind.

Thanks, everyone!

The LowePro Urban Reporter 150 arrived today. It's actually a very nice bag, but the padding is a bit more rigid than I had hoped. I'm thinking at this point that the NEX7 may get rehomed into this new bag and that I may take over the BBB-E for the X100s kit, but I'm still considering. One nice thing is that the camera portion is an insert; I'm going to check some of my less rigid Domke inserts to see if they would fit.

I'll try and get pics up later.

Thanks for the earlier suggestion for the Thinktank Turnstyle. I've been looking for a decent belt pack that is slim enough to hold a two or three m43 zooms or Voigtlander primes while I'm doing run and gun doco shooting. I will definitely look into the Turnstyle for this purpose. I already have two Thinktank Urban Disguise bags, so I'm familiar with the brand and love their quality.
