It's obvious that what gear you're using affects what bag(s) you want to be carrying. It's also true that what bag you're using has an influence on what gear you want to be carrying in it. I hate empty spots in bags and I hate having gear that doesn't fit in the bag.
I think I'm very satisfied with my one camera body and two zoom lens setup. And I'm getting used to swapping the lenses when desired. I even traded the 50mm STM lens and a large bag I haven't used in years to MPB last week for cash.
Shoulder bags I've been using, a Think Tank Photo Speed Freak V2.0 and a Case Logic Kontrast, are older, out of production and the velcro in the dividers is not holding as it once did. Both these bags are also wider than ideal and I keep bumping into things as I walk around in crowded situations. As I'd been pondering a better shoulder bag, an option appeared as a featured one day sale on the B&H website.
The Think Tank
SpeedTop 15 is the style and size I'd been looking for and was a great price. This unusual bag has no zippers anywhere on the bag. The lid to the main compartment is secured magnetically. Pockets inside the main compartment utilize velcro and another magnet. I carried it yesterday, modified things slightly afterward, and I love it.
