My "I gotta carry a healthy bit of camera stuff including longer lenses" bag is a Domke F3x. It's boxy and squarish in shape, can hold two pretty long lenses plus camera with another bulky lens fitted, and a bunch of accessories. Two built-in side pouches, a big front pocket, a back sleeve pocket, and a zippered pocket inside the top makes it quite capacious.
Thankfully, I don't really have to use anything like that much anymore. I moved my flash gear from the F6 "little bit smaller" to the F3x for occasional use, and can now fit camera with lens and four additional lenses in the F6.
