Also take a look at the Tamrac Superlight 8 (a 9 if you can find one; I
believe they stopped making this one; similar to the 8 but slightly
longer). Has places for two bodies with lenses at each end. You may or
may not like how its organized compared to the other Tamrac's you listed.
Someone else recommended having a smaller bag along with this and I'll
second that! A large bag with the quantity of gear you've listed will be
heavy and not something you want hanging on your shoulder all day. Having
a smaller one to stash about a third of what you listed for carrying all
day long is much easier. I store nearly all the OM gear in a Superlight 9,
and haul it in the car, but have a smaller bag for day hikes and walking
around with.

Ok, seeing how my group of bodies and lenses has roughly doubled (not far
from tripling) in the last few months, I'm in need of a larger camera bag --
something that would be useful for storage and hauling more equipment on
longer trips. I'd like it to hold 3 or 4 prime lenses, 2 zooms, flash, and
a second body now and then.
I've narrowed it down to three bags in my price range (under $100, even
better if I could get them used). And I have some questions.
Tamrac 5608 Pro 8
Tamrac 706 Deluxe Convertible
Domke F2
How do the Domke bags compare to the tamracs in terms of dividers? My
father had one of their satchel bags and was unimpressed with the divider
system and 'lens wrap' combo for his leica.
Are there any other brands of comparable quality and style that might be
less expensive? Something that doesn't have 'steal me' embroidered on it
would be great, but I'd rather not give up the functionality of a good
gadget bag.
Any ideas?
