You could try the Lowepro Stealth Reporter Series, specifically the 650AW
(takes a laptop too), 500AW, and 400AW. I have looked at the 400AW, and it
seems to be very well designed and made. The big question is how much yo
are prepared to carry.
Ther can be a significant problem in carrying a backpack and a shoulder
bag, in that the shoulder straps tend to collide....

Continuing in my search for new gear before my trip. Right now my main
camera bag is a Lowe Pro Rover AW backpack. I like the support and it
carries a lot of gear but as a backpack, it's not as accessible. I also
like that it has an unpadded portion for carrying other stuff but I
find that it's a bit small so I can't use it as a regular backpack that
also has some camera gear. The other drawback to it is that when I'm
travelling I'll be using another backpack to carry my other stuff and
managing 2 packs is kind of awkward. That said, it's a good bag and I
do plan to keep it.
What I'm looking for now is a satchel style shoulder bag. I think that
would be make getting at my gear easier and also be better to work with
carrying a backpack as well. In terms of size, I need something that
can carry 2 bodies with lenses attached and 2-3 additional lenses plus
film and filters. The other criteria is I want to be able to use this
bag for carrying work papers around so it must be able to also hold
letter or A4 size papers and/or binder.
I've seen online that Domke offers some promising looking satchels but
I'm not certain which one would fit my criteria and there's not a lot
of detail on Saunders' site. Unfortunately, I've only been able to find
one Domke bag locally, a F-3x which looks nice but doesn't fit the
criteria I've outlined above. Any suggestions?
