Ralf, I have a Tenba messenger bag like this... http://www.helixcamera.com/CameraBags/Tenba/messenger/638234.html
It is nice for travel as it can carry a laptop (not needed for your field work). It has a closing flap, but zipper access thru the top and plenty of pockets. I have it about half full (60%) with a Voightlander 125/2.5 macro, F70-200/4-5.6, DA16-45/4, and AF540FGZ plus instruction books, spare batteries & charger, and all the other paraphernalia I can think of. There's still room for the K20 as a back-up body and the Sony laptop on the plane. I don't usually wear it, and surely wouldn't with the laptop in it (too heavy). But I have worn it and worked out of it with a lightened load. The top zipper gives great assess to the whole bag. Regards, Bob S. 2009/7/15 Ralf R.
