Thanks Igor. The Tamrac bag I have would be suitable for a professional carrying everything for every contingency, but I wouldn't use it even going somewhere by car. I am delighted with it nonetheless as a storage unit I can find everything in at once. The bag I need must be big enough for 2 DSLRs with lenses attached, a little extra space for spare batteries and sundries, but not greatly bigger than it needs to be. It needs to be comfortable to carry - my photography walks are generally in the 5 to 8 mile range - and waterproof rather than shower proof. I'll take a good look at their website. I have a good understanding of why photographers have so many bags, and yet none of them are just quite right.
