The Crumplers all look like they were designed for an SLR with a zoom on it.
Too deep. I would like a Crumpler that is half the height and wider.

I have a couple of Crumpler bags but the internal padding - between  
compartments - is so thick it is hard to force lenses into them and  
very difficult to get them out afterwards. Love the styling and funky  
website - not sure about the design.
