Hi guys,

I am looking for a small, affordable shoulder bag that will carry one rangefinder with lens, plus maybe one or two other lenses, with room for space for film, writing pads, my mp3 etc. do you guys have any recommendations?

I currently have a crumpler 4 million dollar home and its a real tight squeeze trying to fit all my stuff inside.

Some recommendations would be good cos there isnt really a wide range of camera bags here in Singapore so i would probably be ordering online, without being able to take a look at the bag first. I kind of like domke, but how is the size of these things, I have never seen one before.

thanks alot in advance! :)
 
I bought a Domke recently ... F5XB or something like that? It would hold what you describe and they are extremely well made.

Have a look at this link for B&H which is where mine came from. :)http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/4387/Domke_Shoulder_Bags.html

With a Bronica RF645 and 100mm lens in it there is still room to move! :p

On Ketih's recommendation, I too have opted for the F5XB as my daily manbag :)

Divided into 3 partitions, I can comfortably fit the following;

M6, R-D1s, 28mm ZM, 35mm ZM, 50mm Summicron (in any combination)
About 3-4 rolls of film
Spare batteries for both cameras
Small notebook & pen

Best of all, they all fit snugly without bits rattling about. The should strap is one of the best ones out there - comfortable and does not slide off your shoulder. The canvas is nice, tough, but soft. After some waterproofing treatment, the whole kit is ready for daily use without the fear of heavy rain. I highly recommend it!!!
 
wow that bag looks really sweet! how's the padding on the bag? i'm quite absent minded sometimes so i'm afraid of my stuff getting knocked around in it once in awhile.
