I am looking for a bag with more carrying capacity than my current Lowepro Slingshot 200AW, seen HERE (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=ProductDetail&A=showMultipleImages&Q=&sku=392368&is=REG). I do like this bag, and it is good for carrying what I need for daily, casual shooting, but when going to a paid shoot, it won't hold all I need to bring.

I have the following gear, all of which I need to bring to shoots:
20D, 30D, Tamron 17-50, 85 1.8, 2 x 430EX, Cybersyncs( 2 transmitters, 2 receivers, and required hotshoe adapters), 2 Superclamps, 2 spare bp-511's, 6 sets of AA's, memory cards.

I can put 1 body w/ lens attached, the other lens, either both flashes or 1 flash and 1 Superclamp, Cybersyncs, batteries in the 200AW. Loaded to the gills, it does get a little uncomfortable due to the sling design. But it is fine when I just put the necessities for a daytrip for fun.

Because of the above mentioned comfort factor, I am really not looking at the Slingshot 300AW, but rather more of a traditional shoulder bag. It won't really be carried for long periods of time. Mainly just to and from events. But I do want it to have the capacity to hold all the gear mentioned above, with a room to spare, as I am planning getting the Sigma 30 1.4 and a 100 macro (Canon or Tokina). All would be going to a wedding shoot.

I have also thought of getting a Pelican case just for the times when it all needs to go, but I'm not sure.

I am looking for any suggestions, and would appreciate, if possible, you also post a link to the product you are suggesting.

Thanks. Tim:)

Take a look at the Domke F-2 (http://www.cambags.com/canon/300d_10_20d/shoulder/domke_f2_desc.htm).

For a slightly different style than Domke, you might look at the Crumper 7 Million Dollar Home (MDH) as well.
