I'll also be going to Europe in the summer and will need a camera bag. I currently have a soft bag with adjustable (velcro (TM)) pockets, but it's a real hassle putting things in it and getting them out. I would like an aluminium case for speed, but I don't want a suitcase style one --- it should be something with a shoulder strap. The only one I've seen is a Canon bag in the brochure that came with the camera, but I have no idea of its cost or quality. Can anyone recommend a case like the one I'm describing, or maybe give me more info on the canon case, or anything? I'm sure these things exist, because there were many people carrying them around at the Montreal Grand Prix last summer... What I'll want to carry around is a body, a 50/1.8, a 28-55/3.5, a 70-150/4.5, a 300/5.6, a 2x multiplier and a Canon 199A flash, not to mention assorted film and filters. I'll be doing probably 50-50 action and architechture/scenery, so I'd want something that's easy to carry around as well as fast to open and change lenses. Thanks very much... \tom haapanen watmath!watdcsu!haapanen Don't cry, don't do anything No lies, back in the government No tears, party time is here again President Gas is up for president (c) Psychedelic Furs, 1982
