This is the Slingshot 100 AW. I can bring about 2 lenses plus some other items. Light weight and has a cover for rainy days (which I used a few times in Hawaii). http://www.adorama.com/LPSS100AW.html I really like my bag from Lowepro. This is the Slingshot 100 AW.

So far so good. Small sized and well padded. Drawback is that I have to take the pack off to get to my camera or to change lenses. But it's the only travel bag that could fit my 70-200 L lens while attached to the body. http://www.tamrac.com/5374.htm I just got the Tamrac 5374 on Friday. So far so good.

The tamrac doesn't look like it's very rigid or sturdy. What is your feeling? @Don, I like that. Staying simple is good. However, I usually have my 30mm and my ultra-wide 10-20mm. @Sandy, that's the pack that a couple of people had on my recent photowalk. I liked it. I may give that a try first. Cheaper price. @Ian, thanks. The tamrac doesn’t look like it’s very rigid or sturdy. What is your feeling?

You have to take it off to get to the camera. If you want to keep your gear secure but still have easy access, you should give the LowePro Slingshots a try. After trying the Tamrac Adventure 6, I got the LowePro 100AW. It's much simpler to get to the camera and it also works as an elbow rest. http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Sling_Bags/Designed_for_Digital/SlingShot_100_AW.aspx The new LowePro packs look nice, but it appears that they have one flaw.

I mostly carry a Nikon 18-135mm in the streets and hiking in the woods I use a Sigma 28-300mm. It may be just me but I like to keep it simple when walking or on a hike in the woods.
