I'm not explaining myself very well I suppose. I'm not looking for a bag to actually take out shooting for the morning, I already have the TLZ (It was I that suggested it to you) and a Nova 4 and a couple of Street&Field cases that work fine for those times. I'm looking for a bag to carry my stuff in when my wife and I spend a week or two in South Dakota or Colorado or somewhere else. We generally drive, but sometimes fly. I'm not interested in something with wheels and a long handle, just something I can sling over my shoulder on the way up to the hotel room. I haven't come across a trip yet that I needed to carry more than three or four lenses, one camera and one flash, so I'm looking for something in that size. The problem is that the 17-40, 28-70, 70-200 and 100-400 all have BIG hoods that need to fit in there, too. Too bad the hoods aren't all as compact as the Canon 300 f/4. And it would be nice if it had some straps for my monopod as well, if I take a tripod it has its' own case.
So, what do I get?
