I have a Billingham (that cost an arm and a
leg) to carry a dozen lenses and two or more
cameras. What I need is something to hold the
camera while I'm doing something else with my
hands. I don't use a strap on the *ist D it
would get in the way when it's on the
microscope. And anyway, a camera on a strap
often swings about and that's how a lot of
the damage such as dents on filter threads
and dings on the prism housing occurs. A
waist pouch protects the camera pretty well.
Unless you are hit by a truck and then it no
longer matters.

Tamrac and Lowepro both make good bags. Tamracs are generally a little

Two bags that might be suitable from their lines, depending upon how
much you intend to carry:
Tamrac SuperLight 5 shoulder bag ...
Very nice shape and size. Although it's a shoulder bag instead of a
waist pack, the vertical shape makes it very comfortable to carry and
not get in the way. It takes external modular system add-ons from both
the Tamrac and Lowepro lines. I've used it on a couple of trips and
found it can hold the *ist DS and up to four lenses, plus other gear,
very handily, amazing for such a small bag. See
http://www.tamrac.com (look for model 5405 in the Superlight section
of the product page)
Lowepro Photo Runner
A waist pack that can also clip to a larger pack system or be used with
a shoulder strap. Fits the DS with two/three lenses and accessories, you
can also strap a tripod to the bottom for convenience in carrying.

Does anyone know how good Tamrac bags are? I'dlike to get one to hold
the *ist D on my belt.
