I’ve been through my share of camera bags. I think I own about 8 of them in various sizes. I started out with Lowepro, but I had some issues with their quality and on one of my bags in particular the buckle kept coming loose from the shoulder strap… DANGER!

I now use Tamrac bags exclusively and have 4 of them, from a fairly tiny one that only fits a camera and a flash to a gigantic one that fits all my medium format equipment. The one I now use almost exclusively is the Super Pro 17 (617). The 617 allows me to carry to bodies with lenses attached including my 70-200 f/2.8 L IS.
