Okay, my wife got this really nice bag from her company that she was kind enough to give me. This bag has prompted me to soon post for sale my current camera back pack and Lowepro 75AW that I never used. It's a Crumpler style bag that I've been using more frequently than the two bags I purchased just for my camera gear. It's much less conspicuous than your garden variety gear bag, and fits all my essential equipment nicely. I want to maybe put some custom dividers in it to not only better protect, but to gain more immediate access to my lenses. Problem is, I don't know where to look to get the type of dividers that normally come with bags that are specifically designed to house camera gear. Here are some pics of the bag and how I currently have it configured...
Here we see the bag from the side view. Notice the Crumpler style design. Can't complain about it being neutral black and not flamboyant like hot pink with yellow polka dots for example. Also a neat little carrying compartment on the side for pens, laser pointer, mini dart blower, etc...

Here's a front view of the bag with the main cover flap buckled down. Nice little front compartment on the flap itself, which is ideal for filters, lens caps, lens cloth, ninja throwing stars or anything else of thin nature...

BTW, "Configuresoft" of course is the name of the company my wife works for.
Here's a view of the bag from the back. Shoulder straps can be stowed (see next pic). Nice carrying handle right on top and of course the primary carrying sling, which is padded and adjustable. In essence, it can be hand carried, worn as a back pack or slung over the shoulder.

Here the shoulder straps are zipped up and stowed away conveniently...

The main cover flap lifted, revealing 3 storage compartments...

The Main storage compartment is where I stow my lenses (3 are shown here in the original Canon cases), and the camera itself sits right on top. Still plenty of room for one or two addtional lenses or an extra body. I should also point out that there is another pouch inside the main compartment that would be great for your favorite photo publication, grey card (if you still use them) or rap lyrics you wrote when you were bored...

The next compartment is smaller, but it's perfect for your accessories. I've got a rocket blower, remote shutter, AA battery adapter for BG-E2 grip, lens cloth, lens cap and lens cleaning kit in here. Though they're not shown, I carry my lens hoods in here as well. Still plenty of room to add a flash, spare batteries, USB cable or Star Wars action figure...

The remaing smaller front compartments can hold extra CF cards, business cards, cell phone, thumb drive, handy wipes, or whatever.
Though I like how it's currently configured, I'd like to add custom foam dividers to add extra padding and eliminate the need to put my lenses in the leather/suede lens pouches inside the main compartment. In other words, I want to be able to quickly changes lenses on the fly without struggling with the Canon lens pouches. Do any of you know where/how I can get dividers to turn this bag into a true Crumpler style carry bag?
