>This Domke F803 and Billinghom Alice shoot-out/discussion is useful.

This discussion has been enlightening and helpful.  I'm in a similar
situation and also would like a recommendatin.

I will be doing some traveling this summer, a large part by air.  I'm
looking for a bag that will comfortably carry the following: 2 M6 bodies, 4
lenses, and a Metz 32 flash, plus assorted odds and ends like filters,
cable release, tablepod, etc.  Film in bulk will be carried separately.

I have looked at various Billinghams.  Of the ones I was able to get my
hands on the small Hadley was best except for the size.  I believe there is
also a large Hadley.  I have a small Billingham, large enough for a body
with lens plus another lens and some film.  It serves me well.

I also looked at some, but not all, Domkes.  In addition to being either
much too big or a bit too small it seemed that they offered scant
protection for expensive and somewhat fragile equipment.

In the protection department LowePro offered the best but I find some of
their stuff tricky and difficult to get in to.

Any suggestions?
