I have a similar problem with shoulders. I wear the bag with the strap bandolier style (strap over the head and across the chest) which seems to work fairly well. A Domke F6 Little Bit Smaller bag seems a good carrier for two pro-sized cameras fitted with lenses and the casual accessory

I have to small, sloping shoulders where straps just slide off of. Don't even wear a ladies purse without doing the bandolier style. Thanks for the tip on the F6. I wondered about that bag. Might add it to the collection. ;-) Cheers, Christine - Original Message - From: Godfrey

I've seen the F10 and it's too small for the E-1+battery grip+lens and second lens. the F9 I haven't seen but from its dimensions it might make it, if you're sticking with relatively small lenses. The F5XC is another new model that might work too ... I have one but haven't tried to fit

I use a thin (1) Domke strap on each camera. Being blessed with 2 shoulders, each being more than 1 wide and approximately parallel with the ground, that's where I carry the cameras. When I want to use one of the cameras I transfer it to my neck, which lies conveniently at about the midpoint

When I'm carrying two cameras at an event, I have them in a shoulder bag big enough to handle both cameras with the lenses I'm going to use on them, and a hand strap on each one. That way, as I need one or the other, I just drop the one that I'm putting down back into its slot in the bag,

Thanks, but I can't use a shoulder bag. As I mentioned in another post, my shoulders are like pork shoulders: big and round. Straps slide off. I could use a belt supported bag, but that gets in my way. I need a comfortable harness of some sort. I may have to make one. In the meantime,

When two are needed, I've always adjusted my straps to over / under configurations, one above the other. If I wear my photo vest, I use the 'D' rings to attach the upper camera with the short quick release straps that came with the vest. And let the tele hang on the bottom, so it won't be
