I typically have 35/50/90 Summicron-Rs, a 135 Elmarit-R, 60 Macro, film, an R-body, a 14256 and misc. stuff in my Orion and with all this R-stuff it's what I'd call the practical weight limit for a waist bag (and I'm a 6'1" triathlete). My father has the Orion AW and it holds more weight than I want on my waist. I like the Orion for the reasons Robert mentioned and because it's not so big that I'm tempted to stuff everything I have in it. Doug Herr Sacramento
