Re: Camera bags

Thanks for the link.
I've got enough carry bags for a photo club and are still undecided what is best. I also like the belt pouch but find it a bit uncomfortable at times and not best for telephoto lenses and a heavy camera. For some expeditions a small backpack which converts to a hand trolly (for under plane seat travel) has worked well but I'm not game to wear it in places frequented by clever thieves as gear could disappear out the back before I knew it.
The larger shoulder bags are great to keep everything together but are rather tiresomely heavy to cart around all day when travelling, particularly if carrying a tripod too (my wife hates me taking this with us). Probably the best compromise I've found is to use the waist belt for extra lenses and a smaller shoulder carry bag for camera with general purpose lens (24-120 mm) fitted + flash.
I'm interested to read of other experiences - ideas.
