Thin Air, Bright Sun
My new camera bag I acquired from a local Army/Navy surplus store last week. It's a Fox Outdoor brand trifold medic bag.
Here's a link to their website:

I find the shoulder strap to be ideal length, and the extra pouches give enough room for my Lumix G5, the 20-1.7, 14-45 kit zoom, Oly BCL-15 and Pinwide adapter in the top pouch, plus several Minolta MD lenses in the middle pouch (the 50-1.7 and 24-2.8), while the bottom pouch carries my Olympus XA2 and several extra rolls of film.
There's enough room also for my various USB cables and iPad adapters, along with filters and spare battery.
The three pouches roll up and are then secured by the top flap of the bag for a very compact package, while permitting them to be deployed for easy access to all the internal pouches. A great field carry bag for my kit while remaining quite compact.
At my local surplus store I paid about $15 for this bag, brand new (yes, it's a surplus store, but many items are actually newly manufactured to MilSpec grade).
Thought this might interest someone who doesn't want to carry the usual tourist-looking camera bag.
