In near future I'm planning to buy 20-35 on top of that. So it comes to 4 lenses + flash unit, several filters and some other small accessories such as remote. I've checked a few bags so far, such as Lowepro OffRoad 2 and Topload Zoom. Tamrac MAS systems seems to be attractive although I was not able to find it in local stores to see how it fits. MAS belt with harness looks like a good solution in terms of spreading weight evenly around the body (good for hiking) and allows to buy extra "pockets" for lenses as needed. At the same time it looks like it would be easy to unload camera/change lenses when needed. On other hand Lowepro Offroad 2 seems to be a good choice too although I need extra space for a lens and a flash. It also might be attached to a belt and I wonder if Lowepro makes those (I'm still waiting for my paper catalogs to arrive and website is sort of hard to navigate making such choices)." Have a look at the LOWEPRO S&F AW80 or AW85. These will fit your camera with booster and lenses as well. Camera with lens in ready-to-shoot position in the middle with lens beneath. Two lenses on one side and the flash on the other. You can add a harnass and turn into a backpack, or a waistbelt and add lens pouches. The problem with the Topload Zoom is that the camera with the BP50 will be a tight fit, and will not be able to zip around. I don't think the Offroad 2 can carry all of that. No comment on the Tamrac.
