Jeffery, if you're feeling particularly cashed up, head on over to Fogg bags 
in France. They seem awfully nice folks (South
Africans) however long lead times and quite an investment. They have some 
USA distributors, I believe.

Cheers

The Crumplers all look like they were designed for an SLR with a zoom on it.
Too deep. I would like a Crumpler that is half the height and wider.

I have a couple of Crumpler bags but the internal padding - between  
compartments - is so thick it is hard to force lenses into them and  
very difficult to get them out afterwards. Love the styling and funky  
website - not sure about the design.
