(On the same side they pull the coat down too much). For vests, the Orvis Travel Vest (www.orvis.com) (*not* the "Zambezi" version, I had to send it back) has 2 nice, deep nylon-lined zippered pockets that each will hold an M body with a 50/2 or 35/2, plus there's pockets left over for lenses, film, even a table tripod in back. I don't advocate carrying lenses in trouser pockets, though, unless you like hearing things like "Is that an APO-Telyt in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Doc
