No, no perfect bag for me. I hate to admit it, but I own a number of bags. On the plus side, I can choose a bag for a purpose--backpack (have 2) for hard hiking, sling for urban walking or non-difficult hiking, 3 different sized Domkes for several bodies/lens combos, a big commercial bag for commercial shooting. On the con side--sometimes its hard to decide which to use LOL.
I just searched about yet another bag. I bought a used 400D for harder hiking and those times I don\'t want to carry my 5D (usually for those, I choose the smallest Domke which holds the 400D/17-35 f/2.8-4 and 50 f/1.4), but I need a non-shoulder bag for hiking in particular (I used a shoulder bag yesterday on a roughish hike--not a good idea).
I have a LP 200 Slingshot but its too big--overkill--for the 400D and small lens. I\'m trying to get some comparison between the Tamrac Velocity 7x and the LP SS 100--and so far haven\'t found too much except at cambags.com. Anyone with experience using both sling bags--any size--I\'m just looking for functionality and ease of use. The cons I\'ve found for the Velocity is that it doesn\'t sit \'flat\' and that the shape inhibits some lenses (long--not what I\'d use likely) and that it slings to the right hip---not as easy to use as the SS that sling to the left hip.
I\'ve searched of info on these here--not much.
Thanks--and I\'ll take a shot of my Domke 3XB with 5D and 3 lenses--one mounted--and room for personal stuff plus photo gear.
