I have two, and find I use them very little, partly because of the acreage of velcro (I HATE velcro) and the thickness of the protective foam in the dividers is so huge I find only very small diameter lenses fit easily in the sections, and things are hard to get out. Overall I am going to stick to just enjoying browsing their web sites... I use Fogg and Domke shoulder bags and Fogg and Lowepro backpacks. The Lowepro I only use for ease of carrying whilst travelling, transferring kit to a bag when I arrive. I have a slingshot, which is a fair compromise, but I have not tried the one big enough for a laptop. I expect it would be uncomfortable to carry when full.
