My all-time favorite camera bag was the Olympus Compartment Case M
<http://olympus.dementix.org/eSIF/om-sif/casegroup/compartment_case_m.htm> 
  Click on the instructions link at lower left for a better idea of what 
it looks like inside.  It had a snap-in leatherette bag with 3 
compartments for lenses.  The leatherette eventually turned into a gooey 
tar and I quit using it for years until I had my sister (sailboat canvas 
seamstress) copy it in some soft, but heavy fabric.  By that time I was 
shooting with the 5D and the body wouldn't fit in the elevated body 
holder.  It was an "L"-shaped steel bracket with what looked similar to 
the bottom half of an ever-ready case.  Since the camera was elevated 
there was space underneath for other stuff (like T-32s).  I just trashed 
the body holder recently since it was coming apart.  The bag itself, 
with restored lens pouch, still lives.  My granddaughter has it with an 
OM-2s and a couple of lenses.  I doubt that she's ever loaded any of the 
film I gave her.
