which camera bag?

Tks, I have already a leather ONA bowery, very nice. I use it for my Sony A7III and its lenses.

I'm looking for another one instead to move all item each time.
 
I have an embarrassing number of bags but the one I always use for an LTM Leica with one or two lenses is a Domke F-5XA.
 
I'm partial to the Domke J-803 satchel for a small kit. Its a lower profile than the F-5XA, so it lays closer to the body. No zipper; the clipped flap works fine. Central compartment, rear full magazine pocket, front cargo pockets...

The Domke F5XB is really a great bag, but it's a bit small for me. I just tried out the ruggedwear olive version and it's truly a great bag, especially for the price. Only I couldn't fit two cameras in where I could easily remove them and replace them. The zipper is part of the reason for this, but I wish it was just a couple inches longer.

The velcro on the flap is way too stiff, at least when new. I ended up putting a strip of duct tape over it. I am actually going to send it back, but it was very close to perfect if the size was only a tad bigger.

Me too. Mine is at least 20 yrs old and has carried a Leica and a few lenses. It's slim & discreet. Faded by not worn out. My favourite 'incognito' bag.
 
Peak Design Everyday Sling V2 3L or 6L.

Best bags I've ever used. Worth every penny.
Lots of reviews on youtube since they are getting so popular.
 
Another recommendation for the Domke 5B. I have my X-E3 with the 18-55 as well as my X100 with the wide converter on. A battery for each in the pocket and a few loose things tucked away inside. I've never had a problem with the zipper in ten years. The flap bothered me so I cut it off and now I have a quick entry bag.
 
I have a couple of Courierware bags in different sizes. They come with a multi-pocket insert that is well padded. They do not look like camera bags, rather like a million other non-descript bags that you see on the street. For me, a bag that doesn’t say “there is an expensive camera in here” is priceless.

LOL. The Domke J-803 is my small bag. My "big" camera bag is a Courierware, the ubiquitous large bike courier bag, in which I carried packages all over greater Boston 30 years ago as a bike courier, and thereafter fitted with Domke F-2 baseboard and inserts, have carried cameras all over the world. Its worn and patched and repatched, and as Ken remarks, its discrete. Easy access, astonishingly rainproof for a bag that just has a big flap, and holds a ton of gear.
