Last Fall, I did a time consuming search for a camera bag for a Sony A7R (or A7RII) kit that would meet four goals:
1. VERY light weight.
2. As small as possible, yet provide quick and convenient access to the camera body with a mounted lens and two additional lenses. The FE 70-200mm zoom, the FE 55 f/1.8 and the Sony Zeiss 24-70mm FE zoom or another prime.
3. The ability to store the A7R (or the A7RII) with the 70-200 zoom mounted on the body, or alternatively store the 70-200 zoom separately. This is important to me as I would not want to be forced into changing lenses in order to store the gear.
4. Comfortable to use for walking around a city while traveling.
The bag that I finally found that met these goals for me is the Lowepro Transit Sling 250AW. It weighs only 1.7 pounds. There are surely more "elegant" bags around, but none provides the combination of extremely light weight with the desired functionality.
