It's pretty cool how well Crumpler seems to be doing these days. I remember getting mine back then straight out the Singapore distributor's car boot! Got it really cheap too, probably cost price. And pretty sharp of Crumpler to notice the camera market. Not really having browsed their catalogue recently, I up til late still thought their only top loader was for a single camera.. Then a friend of mine got a top loader which held a body with a lens, and had space on either side for an 80 320 (maybe even might squeeze a 70 200 2.8 in there instead), and accs. Not sure what make it was, but it was red and looked like a handbag (not the most comfortable bag to have bumping on your back (twas a single strap), But it held the stuff.
Btw, you can download a 2mb pdf catalog from their Australian site. Nice to see the options.
