That looks pretty good actually...but overpriced on eBay...here's the mfr site... $79!

ETA: Toms bag also looks quite good, but a bit small for what I was looking for. I need something that can carry my 70-200 VR F2.8, 24-70 2.8, 28-300, and fisheye as well as my camera. I was looking seriously at the ThinkTank Sling...at first I was looking at the Sling-o-matic 30, figuring it could carry everything I needed, but Tom's bag got me thinking about it, and I decided I want the smallest bag that can carry the lenses I want. That meant I was also looking at the Sling-o-matic 10, which looks like a good compromise of small but carrying power. The incase looks like another good option.

Thanks for the links - we've actually never even seen those before. It's crazy how many options are out there. We always come back from the camera stores disappointed, so that's why we designed our own.

Ours is a little spendy, but it costs so much to make since it's manufactured here in the USA. This isn't directed towards you guys, but it drives me insane that people are always complaining about everything being made overseas and that we need to bring jobs back home, but then when we do make stuff here they complain that it's too expensive. I guess it's true that you can never please everyone...

Absolutely...my daughter, and now my family try to go even a step beyond that. We try to buy local. Unfortunately, in the electronics and camera world, that doesn't always work out.

My suggestion for your next bag is to make it deeper. So a lens like a 70-200 F2.8 can fit standing up, rather than laying down. Maybe pick a good, common, pro kit, and make sure it all fits. (Maybe that's what you did, but I don't think your bag would hold what I need. For light trips, I already have the Tamrac Velocity 6 and Velocity 7. It's just that they won't hold the 70-200, plus my "staple" lenses.
