I bought a LowePro 'Orion' which has the same configuration and found it
very useful for a month's trip to the US last year. It is smaller than the
last bag I had but still managed to carry my Epic, OM-2, Mamiya 35mm, plus
five lenses including a lengthy Zuiko 100-200 zoom. I agree with Matt that
these types of bags are far more useful than the older shoulder types.
Regards,
John.
