Ok I am willing to look like a total geek now

Spent most of vacation on foot and carried a messenger bag with some lenses. For those long walks with a prime or 2, how are y'all carrying your gear? I have a rs4 which is amazing camera strap but still need something to carry a lens an flash or 2 other lenses.

I was thinking a fanny pack or batman belt system just to strap a lens on my waist. Maybe even just one of those lens holders can be put on a regular belt?

Suggestions on a light street setup?

I am using a Lowepro Nova 180 and fits all of what is in my sig (remove the 10-20 and add a 430exII instead)

Perfect for medium /long walk but you have to change shoulder after sometimes if you pack it up full capacity, it gets heavy.

I've done the belt thing, but find I prefer a shoulder bag. It's nice to be able to easily set it down at times. Sling bag would be another good option.

I use a backpack - either a camera oriented one or a normal - depending on what else I am carrying!

^^ Best solution for long walk. +1 for a camera bag pack.

In playing tourist in Washinton DC walking around all day with my wife, I left the shoulder bag in the trunk of the car and carried my camera on a shoulder strap, and 1-2 lenses in LowePro lens cases on the LowePro Street and Field light padded belt (not the heavy duty Deluxe one). No complaints from me about that as a technique that does not wear on the shoulders a lot.

Have a collection of backpack and shoulder bags. I'm look for more quick lens change

had a lens in the gfs purse and did a few changes after bout 3 she was getting fed up

When I want to travel light I wear the camera on a strap and use one of these to carry a spare lens: http://www.maxpedition​.com …ing-Dump-Pouch-26p228.htm

This one is big enough to hold the 100-400 with hood reversed. They make a smaller one that is sized for a 1L nalgene bottle that may be better for you, depending on the lens you want to carry.

Some kind of shoulder bag or backpack should suffice, although for hiking or cycling, I recently picked up a Cotton Carrier. Once I get the chance to field test it, I'm hoping that when I bike and want to take a picture, I can dismount, take the shot, and leave (as opposed to dismount, open backpack, haul camera out, take shot, put camera back, etc.).

The intro video sold me on it right away:

THose photography vests are so ugly. I always wonder why people wear them.

Because they keep what you need handy so you can get at it, and they're easier on the shoulders than a backpack (which you can't get at anything in) or a shoulder bag.

Take a look at the Think Tank Change Up. There's a recent thread about it. It'll comfortably hold a couple of lenses and flash while your camera's on your R-strap. Plus it can be configured different ways as your needs change.

I've heard good things about the Think Tank Speed Demon belt pack.

If it is a one lens day (theme park, picnic..etc..etc...) I just keep the body on a B-Grip. If it is a 2 lens/flash day I have a Micro Trekker 100. Or if I need a bigger selection I use a Flipside 300. Or if I need it all I take the big bag.
