Hi all,
I need some bag suggestions from my favorite group of gear hogs...
1. Sometimes I need to carry a 15" MacBook Pro along with 2 Leica M bodies and 3-4 M-lenses (including the noct.) I'd prefer to have two of the lenses attached to the bodies. I'd prefer a bag without wheels, one that can be worn sling-style or over the shoulder.
2. Same scenario, but this time instead of the Leica gear, I'll carry a pro-DSLR (Canon 1D) with the 70-200 attached. I'd like lens to be mounted on the camera ready to shoot.
I went to Glazers here in Seattle yesterday and checked out all of the ThinkTank (one of my favorites), Kata, Lowepro, A&A (another favorite), Domke and Billingham bags. None fit the bill. The ThinkTank Sling-O-Matic 30 was a great idea, but it's too deep for the Leica gear (it all gets lost in the bottom) and too thin for a pro-DSLR (it fits a 5D without the grip).
As a third and fourth variation on the two above, substitute an iPad for the MacBook Pro, so I am looking for four suggestions if possible. It would be nice if fewer than four bags fit the bill.
Thanks, oh experienced ones!
