I bought Fogg bags in years past; Stan Tamrkin still lists them
http://s95521.gridserver.com/?page_id=66  and Keeble & Schucat (sp?)
in California also used to carry them.

When I started downsizing a few years ago I sold several, but still
have an e-flat  which is a fine multi-purpose over the shoulder bag.

I think I have finally learned you _can_ have too many camera bags,
although it has been a long and expensive learning process.
