don't listen to these philistines ; -).  Get yourself  a bit of
British style and class: buy Billingham (www.billingham.com).  I have
3: the 206 (with extra end pockets), the Hadley (original size) and
the Packington.  The 206 and the Packington take the backpack harness
if you wish.

They don't look like camera bags, there is leather, canvas (or Nytex)
and brass and they are light enough to use.  The biggest of the bags
is the 5 series I believe, used by many pros over here (and the Royal
Air Force's photogs for their MF stuff).

I would be wary of trying to put all your stuff in a bag as it gets
very very heavy and it is not good for your back unless you carry it
on your back.  My back aches using a heavy bag for too long slung on
one side.

I respectfully disagree. If they don't look like camera bags, what do they look like? _Expensive_ camera bags? Actually they look exactly like traditional camera bags. Pretty though.
