Paul - I use the Urban Disguise 60 and a couple of different Domke bags depending on what I need to carry. The Urban Disguise is shaped like a briefcase or laptop bag and padded more like a traditional camera bag. I use it when I need to carry a bunch of gear and a laptop. It's especially useful when I'm teaching. There's enough space for some paperwork and a few typical classroom supplies.
The Think Tank bags are extremely well constructed and wear like iron. I'm not sure if the 60 will easily hold a second body. You might want to go to an actual camera store that will let you load up a bag to check the fit. Once I recognized that I seldom put my primary camera in the bag, it really changed the way I think about bags. Normally, especially when I'm shooting locally, the camera and one lens is hanging from my shoulder or in my hand. Even when I driving between locations the camera is within reach in the car. The bag with all of the other gear is on the floor in the back seat or in the trunk. I also really like the Domke bags. They are also very well built, but they don't have a lot of padding. The lack of padding makes them more compact. The Domke line is pretty extensive, but I'm not sure that they have a shoulder bag that would also accommodate a latptop. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 8:54 AM, Paul Stenquist <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Mark.
