I'll bet ya once you get that bag stuffed, it'll weight twice what you think it will weigh. I for one would not want to carry as a shoulder bag more than one body and maybe 2 lenses at most. At least not more than as I said, from car to shoot. It's great to have one main storage bag, but think about how you will really use the bag, and the more versatile the better. It will depend on what kind of shooting you plan with it of course. Most of us have several bags for different purposes. I like my modular system of three bags. TLZ holster bag, waist bag, and lens pouch. But I do like to hike and carry my equipment on me, and perhaps on a bicycle, but rarely in a car. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
