Nothing else..basically, what works for just a body small prime.
Something you'd take to grandma's for the Christmas party....
I have a crumpler 3mdh but it's just too tight, getting in and out is a pain.
I'm going nuts trying to find the super small, convenient bag that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! I'm sorry for a bag question and I've been all over cambags, but there're just sooooo many it's tough to get any sort of idea!
Either the Domke F-5XA or slightly larger XB. Depends also on how padded you like your bags because the Domkes use thinner padding for more of a body hugging design than the typical well-stuffed, boxy bags.
Thaaaaaaaanks Ronnnn it's coming...of course. I'm up for a new job which will take 70 hrs a week, in which case, I will be moving away from dslr for the most part...wish me luck!
I use the Crumpler 5MDH for a 5D2/50 1.2L/hood with just enough room left for my 220EX, iPhone and a couple CF cards. It's designed to look like a messenger bag but is so small it feels a bit purse-like.

Crumpler 7 MDH... gripped 5DII, 35L attached most of the time. Light, easy to carry with handle or messenger style. And of course, room for more...
I have one too but small it's not. It's massive compared to the 5MDH but the right bag when you need everything and feel really strong. My only beef with the Crumpler bags is the cloth used it very abrasive and will really chew up delicate fabrics if you walk around a lot. I have many holes in my t-shirts where the bag rubs on my hip. Finally I sewed a bit of thin leather on each bag and can wear silk or fine leather jackets without injury.
Domke F-5XB is the perfect size when 5D + 35L is all I want to bring. It also fits my cell phone, pen, spare battery and wallet, but that's about it.
The bag is pretty neutral looking. I find it easy to take the camera out and put it back in (it fits with the hood mounted which is great). In general I'm happy with it, but the velcro is very noisy and I would love to have a slightly more stylish bag.
