I'm looking for the smallest possible shoulder bag that can hold 2 DSLRs without grips: One attached to a 70-200/2.8L IS and the other attached to a 16-35L. Have to accommodate one 580EX-II flash as well. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.

Domke F-802 will, with a bit of room to spare. The F-803 might; I haven't got one to try. Depending on how snug a fit you want when everything's in the bag an F-3X may also meet your needs (I prefer a snug bag; either things are in the bag while I travel from place to place or at least one camera is out, ready for use).

I know the Slingshot 200AW not a shoulder bag but it's sort of half way there so might be worth a thought. I comfortably fit a 30D and 40D body in there, each with a lens mounted and 2 X 580EX in the top compartment. Lens combinations that work include..

30D with mounted 70-200 f/2.8 IS with reversed hood and 40D with mounted 100-400 with reversed hood;

40D with long lens mounted and 30D with 17-55 or 10-22 mounted, each with a reversed hood, and the other short zoom in the bag as well.

The outside pocket can also hold a 50/1.8, 1.4X teleconverter and macro tubes. Batteries, cards, filters and cleaning bits can be squeezed in somewhere as well.

I've had mine for two years and have found it the perfect bag for vacation travel (wildlife and landscape) and weddings. The nice thing about the Slingshot is that it stays out of your way when you 're shooting, and yet swings round for easy access without having to remove the bag or put it down. Here are some sample images (not mine) - http://www.taschenfrea​k.de …/SlingShot200AW​/index.htm (external link). I've posted pictures of my setup here on POTN so if you're at all interested in the Slingshot I'll dig up the link(s).

Not a shoulder bag but I'm getting one! Kata T-214. Looks amazing and reviews are all great and perfect for what you're asking. Easy access and holds exactly what ya want.

For walking around, ready to go? I'd suggest a Domke F-802 or F-803 depending on how you pack the bag and if you are using lens hoods or not. The Domke F6 can be set up as well to hold the kit you're describing , and it is an easier bag to work out of than the F802/F803 (I own the F802,F803, F804, F805, as well as the F6).

I love the Domke F3, but it is to small to hold both body/lens combos you're seeking to walk around with.

Happy Shooting!

Thanks VERY MUCH guys! Looks like the Domke F-802 might be "the one" for me!

Do you Domke folks find that metal fastener clip on their front flaps to be difficult to deal with as opposed to the usual plastic quick release buckles?

Do these satchel bags come with the padded inserts or do you need to buy them? If so, which ones do you recommend?

Nope. It's possible to open it one-handed, too, once you figure out how.. it's kind of hard to describe, involves pulling the ring away from the bag, pushing in the clasp and pulling the clasp away. I ought to draw a diagram of that sometime. :p

Not at all.

The F-803 has a single-compartment insert. I use a 720-230 3-compartment one in my F-802. Other people use a Tenba 3-compartment. Suzyview's used left-over dividers from her other bags in hers.

With Domke bags that have two clips I leave one clip intact, then bend the second clip. When I need the bag secure I can have both fasteners on the d-rings. When I am working I can leave the 'untouched' fastener unhooked, and clip the bag shut with the bent one.

By bending the clip I can make the clip very easy to open and close. I have been doing this for at least the past 16 years. It has worked very well for me.
