So like the title says I'm looking for a messenger type back that I can use to carry a DSLR+lens+stuff along with a laptop and at least one or two books. I know a ruck-sack would be more suitable for this, but I've already got to carry one of them to hold other items at the same time, so the camera/laptop bag has to sling over one shoulder and hang down to my side.

For reference I'm looking to hold a 7D with grip and at least one lens (ideally up to 70-200mm f2.8)


Tools of the trade: Canon 400D, Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L M2, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 OS, Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, Tamron 24-70mm f2.4, Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6, Raynox DCR 250, loads of teleconverters and a flashy thingy too

I use the domke f-832 but the 70-200 is unmounted. It gets really heavy on one shoulder though.

Yeah weight will be a pain, but this is mostly an idea for going around campus and such so I'm not expecting to haul it long distances.

Been looking around some second hand options and found the Lowepro Stealth Reporter 650 AW - however there appears to be two versions a 650 and a D650 although I can't find out if there is an actual difference or if its just different names on different sites (sadly the lowpro site has them discontinued with the D550 as the largest they currently sell so I can't get any info there).
