Looking for Suggestions for a Shoulder Bag

I recently aquired a 501C with an 80mm lens, a 50mm, and 150mm lens. I'm trying to find a shoulder bag that will fit those items with a little room to spare for a few other accessories and film. Most of the bags I've looked at online seem designed for DSLR's. Most have movable sections, but even bags I presently have with movable sections for DSLR's don't come up with a good fit.
Any suggestions?
 
I prefer the Tamrac Model 750 Photographer's Daypack or the Model 752 Super Photo Daypack, because:

  1. They can hold all the lenses that you will buy plus the filters, film, ... I carry the Hasselblad 503 CX, the CF 50mm lens, the CF 80mm lens, the CF 150mm, the CF 250mm, four filmbacks, many filters, cable releases and more.
  2. A shoulder bag that is heavy can cause back problems that you will not believe or want.
  3. These packs will put the weight on your hips when you connect the waist strap.
Go to www.tamrac.com, select "See All Products", Select "Day Pack Camera Bags" and scroll down.

Take a look at a Domke Original F2 size bag - it will fit a 3 lens kit nicely with some extra pouches for misc. items like meters and film. The bag is washable and built to take years of use. You can also configure the inside as you like with optional inserts.
Cheers,

I can recommend a Domke F4AF bag which will handle the Blad with a lens attached up to the 150mm in length with the body resting lens up and back against the bag bottom. If desired a prism finder can even be attached. Two extra padded inserts will hold two lens stacked in either pocket and up to the 250mm in the other padded pocket. All of these padded inserts come with the bag. In addition there are large non-padded pockets on each end of the bag plus the large front pocket and a zippered body side back pocket. I usually work out of my larger rolling wheel bag for traveling and use the F4AF to take my short hike items when out in the boondocks. For longer day hikes I use a Lowe Pro Back Pack.

Good Shooting,

Don
