Here's another vote for the Canon bag. Maybe I don't use mine as much
as you do yours since my zippers are all still working. I could use
another one as a supplemental transport bag. To move some stuff in the
first bag that doesn't get used much and also to carry some stuff like
the 80-200/2.8 that is often an orphan due to weight.
