I keep my GF-1 in a Tamrac Mosel 3320 - Areo Zoom 20. I find this fits perfectly in my Acorn bag. I leave both bags unzipped for quick access while riding. there is a bit of room to spare next to the camera bag and then the two little pockest for incidentals like wallet phone and keys. I find having the smaller bag keeps me from overpacking. I have seen and contemplated the taller Berthoud bag for the front, but would try and fill it (OCD) you can see it here on my Roadeo, th epic has circulated before.

I can still stuff my Canon XTi in the bag as well, bui tthat fills it far more. THe Acorn bags are no tas hard to get as people make it out either, you just have to set a remender for the first and act kind of quickly Rob On Jun 10, 11:22 am, Rob Harrison <robha...@gmail.com> wrote: > The one remaining thing I need to complete my Saluki ("Sure, sure" you > say!) is a handlebar bag.
