I have gone over to the darkside with micro 4/3 and they look lost in my SLR camera bag!

So i am after a shoulder bag big enough to carry my Olympus OMD EM5 mk 2 with vertical hand grip plus a 12-40 pro lens, 40-150 standard lens, a 45mm f1.8 and probably a 60mm macro and 75mm f1.8 prime.

I would like a quick release flap so i can gain access to the camera quickly.

So any suggestions as to a suitable bag that people can recommend please?

Or a range/make that I should be looking at?
 
I love my Think Tank Retrospective 5, even the quick release flap can be silent if you want it, really well made and looks even better now it's "worn in" - they do a couple of bigger versions as mine is perfect for the em5ii, 12-40, wallet and a glasses case, but you would would need a bigger one for a another lense. Love the fact it has no logo on the front that says "I'm carrying an expensive camera" so felt safe when travelling in unknown areas.

Yeah I've seen the Think Tank ones and maybe a 10 or 20 would be needed.
 
I went with a Crumpler Jackpack 4000 when I downsized to my A6000, always been a fan of Crumpler bags. This holds a A6000, Sony 50 & 35 Primes, 55-210 zoom, Samyang 12mm, GoPro with charger and various mounts, card holder and multiple batteries/cables and also a Manfrotto Pixi tripod.

Bought a Think Tank retrospective 7. I kept thinking the 5 might be too small since i keep buying more lenses!

I've wanted one of these fir ages but always been a bit scared of the price! I've nearly pressed buy on a Matin Balade from ebay a few times they look like a really good alternative but there isn't much information out there!
 
Well the 7 can be had for £116 (still a lot I know)

Its just arrived. First impressions is that its really well made. Just not sure if its not too big now and I would have lived with the 5. Will pack all my lens into it tonight and see how it goes.
