Okay first: Apologies if you've seen this posted...elsewhere...but I'm in search of a bag and am seeking learned suggestions.
I should confess that I'm sort of an anti-bag-fetishist, in that I pretty much don't like any of them. I had a lovely Peak Design backpack that I bought extra dividers for and never used. I have one of their sling bags that is fifth or sixth out of the assortment to get picked. What I use mostly is a smallish backpack that lays flat and opens completely so that I can work from a flat "container."
My "big bag" is an old Lowepro Omni Pro:
I think that another of these would work for the K-1ii, but I am not positive that it is deep enough top to bottom, as the K-1ii is a tall body. I want to carry the body with a standard zoom, plus the 70-200 (a truck in its own right...), maybe a flash, but definitely some other lenses plus a spare battery, charger, and maybe room for the camera battery grip. Don't care about room for a laptop or tablet. Most of the time I pick out what I'm going to take, load the bag, put it in the back of the car or the truck and go. I'll pull out what I need when inspiration strikes and leave the bag in the car. If I need something else, I walk back. Or, I take a smaller bag and load it for whatever trekking I've gotta do.
Suggestions?
