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

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,
