My solution is to use the Domkes for traveling; but when shooting, I use a Kinesis belt system almost exclusively. This is a SUPER system, designed by photographers, for photographers. Lots of custom features, lots of sizes, and almost ultimate comfort. I trucked all over Disney World for 4 days with 1 body and 4 lenses for 8 hrs/day with no fatigue. With ANY shoulder bag, I'd have been hurting. Check out www.kinesisgear.com. You won't be disappointed. Skip At 10:47 AM 5/28/00 +0200, you wrote: >Bob: > >>>>>>>>>>> >Sounds nice.
