I know there's been a couple of thread like this but I cant see one that matches my spec.. anyway I'm looking for a walkabout shoulder bag, I already have a large Tamrac Backpack so I'm just looking for a bag to take selected stuff with me.

I want the bag to hold the following :

5D MKII with Grip
70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM
24-70 f/2.8L USM
A couple of filters/memory cars
(I want to be able to have either lens mounted to the Camera when stored in the bag).

I've read about the Thinktank Retrospective 20 but I actually think the bag is still a bit bulky so looking for other suggestions.

I'm going to the FOI show tomorrow and hope to get a bag there but I'll be looking to get the bag ASAP after I arrive and I'm going to be carrying my gear and want to use the bag at the show.

Thanks
 
I use the Acme Made Union Photo Messenger

Good price and feel, lots of pockets for filters/memory card etc as well as a large area for camemra + 1 lens and another for an additonal lens.

It's waterproof and doesn't actually look like you are carrying around a camera bag either.

I only have the Nex-5 though along with the 18-200mm in it and it fits very easily along with the 16mm + both the fisheye and Ultra Wide adaptor in it with room to spare by a long way.
 
Thanks for the reply, I tried a few bags yesterday and ended up with the Thinktank Retrospective 20, and also a Retrospective Lens Changer 2 - both in Pinestone.

The reason I got the Lens Changer 2 is sometimes I'll just go for a walk on the local coastal path and usually have the camera on a Blackrapid RS-7 but often wish I had a macro lens or a 100-400 etc with me, this way I can have 3 lenses with me and only a small bag, ideal for when I dont need the camera in a bag.
