Jerry--

Thanks <bowing slightly>, and yes, the comparison with underwear is an apt
one indeed. Don't get me going on that one (I have very strong opinions
about the relative inequality of quality between men's and women's underwear
brands and styles), but suffice to say that it's just got to be practical
and comfortable! The bag and the underwear, and hopefully at the same time!

Kit

Once more, you are the voice of reason.

Bags are important to the "carrying about", "candid"
or street photographer, as the bag must protect the
gear, and make the equipment easily available. And of
course be comfortable. In all those respects, the bag
should be like underwear.  Who buys underwear for the for
the name prestige?
