Actually I use the vest mostly for film - unexposed on the right and exposed on the left - , lens wipes, pens, notebook, glasses, credit cards, money, passport, filters, Kleenex, balloons for kids, Excedrin, Tums, throat lozenges, maps, tickets, Spanish dictionary, etc. The lenses and cameras go either in a fanny pack (bum bag for the English) or a small backpack or (usually) around my neck and on my shoulders. I have the Domke jacket and it really comes in handy in cold weather, but I'm usually looking for less warmth, not more - really like the net back on the Banana Republic. Next time you're giving anything away think of me :) - Tina ______________________________________________________________________ Tina Manley, ASMP <http://www.photogs.com/manley/index.html> <http://www.aperture-photo.com/site/reportage/manley/manleyframeset.html> <http://www.onlineartistleague.com/manleyt/portfoli.htm>
