I've tried bags. The best for me were the large floppy canvas jobs (the
kind stuff doesn't fall out easily of when you're on the trot in the
field). But really, nothing I've tried truly fit my needs so over the years
I settled on the knockoff (from the old Abercrombie & Fitch catalog) safari
vest sold by Banana Republic (the most common question one fields when
wearing one of these contraptions is, "Are you a fly fisherman?") and then
just sling whatever bodies I'm carrying over my shoulders. Over the years
I've managed to work comfortably with three bodies when necessary hanging
left-right-center simultaneously, while the safari vest serves as my
repository for extra film, lens brush, cleaning tissues, batteries, meter
if I've dragged one along (I seldom do) and whatnot. The vest even has a
very large rear pocket into which might be stuffed an extra tele or zoom. I
tried this just once and didn't like the way it "swung" behind me but the
pocket's there nevertheless. (Maybe it's best for a sandwich afterall. <g>)
Mostly my theory is it's best not to fish around somewhere dark for what I
need photographically, but to have it prepared to shoot and readily at hand.
