Yes & Yes. I manage with 2 vintage shoulder bags.

The Lower Prorunner 350AW is my travel bag. 70-200/2.8 on one side, 15-30 in
the middle below the K-1+24-70/2.8. Spare body next to the 15-30, remaining
room in the main compartment for spare batteries, chargers, whatever. Back
pocket for iPad and paper files (I used to carry a 13” laptop there), front
pocket for little stuff like SD Cards, car keys, phone… This all fits under
the seat in CRJ regional jets. If I have a tripod along, it straps to the
outside, is removed and placed in the overhead on the plane so that the bag
will fit under the seat.
But once I am at a destination, I switch to a Domke shoulder bag which is
barely large enough to carry a K-1 with one of the shorter lenses, the K-1 +
70-200 is on my shoulder or around my neck. I have tried about 4 different
larger shoulder bags, all feel too large and awkward to me. So my tradeoff
is to carry less, try to plan more carefully what I need when I am out and
about away from my base where the 350AW stays with the remainder of my gear.
Unless of course I am shooting not too far from my transportation and I can
leave the larger bag there to be delved into if needed.
In brief, there is no perfect bag, but there may be acceptable compromises
depending on work style and other circumstances.

I absolutely love my fastpak 350 for my aps gear, but it hasn't worked so
well for my K-1. I just had an errand in sf around the corner from Samy's
and while in there I looked at bags. They have the tenba shootout 24l
which seems very nice, but it is just too small to carry my monopod
inside, so I'm curious about the 32l version.

I came across an interesting photo bag. It's a hybrid of a
shoulder bag and a backpack:
https://www.manfrotto.co.uk/ng-australia-3way-camera-bag-for-dslr
It looks like it was launched about a year ago.
Unfortunately, it is still not available for sale in the US
(except for eBay, where it becomes overpriced on top of being
expensive).
This is a type of a bag that I am looking for.
I have been enjoying Vanguard Up-rise II 33: it allows carrying a
travel
camera+ set and a laptop. And it has been passing as a "personal item"
on airplane flights.
With the quick-access zipper at the top, it is very convenient to
photograph from while on the road.
The main thing I'd wanted to change/add to it is the option of carrying
it
as a backpack, - to ease the load on my back. So, in that regard the
Manfrotto/NG hybrid bag would be great.
So, I wonder if anybody has seen other "hybrid" bags (backpack-shoulder
bag) from other brands?
