Nowhere in your description above do you mention a carrier that does what I need/want to do quite often: - carry a laptop, camera and two to three small lenses, and a complement of small notebook, 5x7 portfolio book, etc - carry a laptop, two-three 9x12 portfolio books, small bits and pieces - carry two-three 9x12 portfolio books and the camera/two-three lens shooting kit or any number of combinations of gear, both larger and smaller, while being able to walk and ride public transit for several hours at a stretch without fatigue. That's why I have a selection of bags to work with. If all I was concerned about was having a large hard case to move a big lump of gear around and a shooting bag to carry just one or two variations of the camera kit, yes, a Pelican and a Domke F3x would do the job very nicely.
