Hello James,

	I have used the Lowe Pro Off Trail for similar uses and it is more than
adequate.  You can even tuck a couple of rolls of film under the camera
support in the main section.  I used it to carry an M body with a 50mm with
a 90mm in one pouch and a light meter and some film in the other.
