I'm in US so don't know if this will help. I'm like you, too many bags, but none worked--too big or too small. Someone on another forum suggested the Lowepro Event Messenger 150. I carry the EM5, 12-50, 25/1.4, 45/.2.8, 45-200 or ZD9-18 and NR filters, batteries, cards, some personal things and it has an Ipad slip.I'm looking for a bag to carry my OM D, 25, 45, 75 and 100-300 around. My current collection are too big or small. The ability to add an iPad would be great. Can anyone offer words of wisdom, please?
Nice! I dislike most Domke bags because they emblazon their name on the outside. This one hides it under the front flap.I've been using a Domke canvas satchel. Olive color, doesn't look like a camera bag, and an iPad tucks in the back. OMD, 4-5 lenses, RX100, batteries,etc.

LOL, I agree with you Tom, so I cut the labels off on all 3 of my Domke bags. I use the small Domke F-5xb for the OMD with 2 or 3 lenses but no place for the Ipad. My Domke 'Little Bit Smaller' has plenty of room for lenses but isn't deep enough for the Ipad and because of the way it organizes lenses beside each other rather than stacking them means it is a 'thicker" bag hanging beside your body and doesn't easily work across body which is how I prefer to carry a bag spreading the weight and not all on one shoulder.Nice!

Matt....never liked Domke's.......no padding. Don't know if I needed it, but know that it's not there.I've been using a Domke canvas satchel. Olive color, doesn't look like a camera bag, and an iPad tucks in the back. OMD, 4-5 lenses, RX100, batteries,etc.

I have had this bag for a number of years in black canvas. I use it for my 5D plus several big EF lenses. Is it not too big for EM5 system? I considered it but thought it was too tall and had no place for Ipad. The back and front pocket are either not tall enough or wide enough. I have always loved the bag for my 5D smaller kit so would love to know how you will use it for m4/3. I also have the 'little bit smaller' in sand canvas which is a terrific bag too but too 'fat' along my body for same number of lenses compare to my LP Event Messenger (and I use the 5xb for my very small m4/3 kit--body and two lenses, batteries, ND filters, etc.)...1st post for me on this forum, I "found" it yesterday while browsing for OM-D info, good to catch up to Jono after missing his input for quite awhile. Anyway, I just bought my 2nd OM-D last week, so needed a bag to carry two of them, four lenses, and accompanying accessories. I ended up getting the Domke F3X in sand colored canvas, and so far it looks like it will be a great fit, not too bulky, a bit of room for expansion, and it doesn't scream "CAMERA BAG"...
