Have you looked at the Thinktank bags? They're seriously into stuff that lets you rotate it around your waist without taking it off. I have the "Speed Freak" belt pack from them; by itself, it gets the cleaning stuff, spare batteries, cable release, K20D, FA100, DA14, and DA 55-300 quite handily. Since the insides are reconfigurable, you can add dividers for smaller lenses. (It also has filters, small binoculars, and a first aid kit in the side pockets.) http://www.thinktankphoto.com/ttp_product_SpdFrk.php Their "Speed Changer" small bag happily holds an FA50, DA35, FA31, and FA77, plus a notebook, pens, and spare memory cards. It attaches to one side of the Speed Freak belt, which puts it forward into "just grab stuff" range. It will *just* take an FA100 for depth; the diameter is no problem. http://www.thinktankphoto.com/ttp_product_SpdChngr.php You could got with a Speed Changer plus another bag for the body -- http://www.thinktankphoto.com/ttp_product_ChmpCg.php is meant to be body only but I think it would hold a K-7 with a limited prime on it -- plus one of Think Tank's padded modular system belts and get something quite compact. They have a vast modular system so you could expand it readily later. I take the Speed Freak + Speed Changer + Large Lens Drop In (for the 800/8) on the bus all the time, and then walk around the zoo (where I dare not set anything down) or various parks; I have found it comfortable in summer and winter and really solid. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
