The bag is built like a tank, doesn't draw much attention and is well balanced and padded. But my standard bag is the Billingham L2 http://www.billingham.co.uk/prodbuy.asp?id=70 Perfect for 2 M bodies and 35/50/90, film etc. I love the side flaps on the lid, which prevent gear from spilling out or water from getting in. Last week I was caught in a storm out here in California. The bag was rained on for about 6 hours, but the cameras stayed perfectly dry. I sometimes clip an old canvas pouch I got from the Army&Navy store on the strap with a carabiner hook. It comes in handy for a bottle of water or juggling lenses etc. The biggest problem with the bag is that it looks really expensive when new. Over the past three years mine has been rained on, dragged through the mud and dust and has developed a nice "patina", so it just blends in, but new it can be a real problem.
