I'm not sure how practical the spin-it-around idea is.  They make it 
look easy in the video but I don't think I'd chance it with five 
primes plus the camera body plus accessories in there.  Maybe someone 
on the List will buy one and let us know how that works.  Anyway, you 
can still lay it down on the front to access the contents same as the 
one that I purchased and it does carry a good price.

The other bag, the Fastback, is even more limiting I think.  You can 
swing it to the front and gain easy access to the body and attached 
lens plus some accessories but all the other lenses are inaccessible 
unless you also open the front in addition to the side which, I 
think, means taking the bag off and laying it down.  That's the 
reason I said in a previous message that I think, for my use, it 
would make a good "city" bag where I would only be needing access to 
the body and attached zoom lens.

Later,
Johnny
