Aha Skip! I spot a Billingham bag - a Photo Hadley Pro... do you like it? I have had a Hadley for 8 years and it is looking too good to change, but when did that ever stop me? ;-)

OM content: for 7 years only my OM1N, 28, 50 and 135 sat in the Hadley. Now it is a Contax G2 with 28, 45 and 90. The OMs live in a Billingham 206 with end pockets.

Have a good holiday

I've read the posts regarding this with interest, as I'm going to Ireland for a week in August and have to plan my kit. I'm REALLY going to go small this time, as I've found that lugging any sizable kit around for a week kills me. I don't understand how you guys can carry those kits with 3-4 bodies and 4-6 lenses around. As someone pointed out, I'm taking a kit to take travel pictures, not traveling to take pictures, so my selection will be much more restrained and within the limits of what's family-friendly.

Currently, I'm planning on:

2 bodies, one to stay in my bag
21mm
35mm and/or 50mm
90mm
Polarizer for the 35/50
Film, Portra 160 and 800, maybe some chrome
Flash
P&S for my wife

And that's it. No long lens, no Macro, no zoom. It will all live in a Hadley Pro bag or in a belt system.
