One line of bags you might want to look into carrying are the CCS 
Heritage bags from England. They've been hard to find in the US, but 
I THINK they have a distributor now--at least they were shown at the 
last two Photo Expo East shows in NYC--I bought my "Lancaster" model 
there the year before last. The CCS bags look a lot like Billinghams, 
but are less expensive. They also have an unusual wide opening system 
that is very easy to work from. Lastly, they hold a LOT for their 
size--my relatively small Lancaster holds two screw-mount bodies, six 
lenses (two on bodies and four mounted back-to-back) plus assorted 
filters, finders and film. FWIW I also use a small Crumpler bag (the 
"Homestayer" model for my Rolleiflex TLR. While that bag is also very 
well made (and the perfect size for my Rollei outfit) it holds far 
LESS than you would expect for it's outside dimensions.
