BJ - The hadleys look nice but too big for my needs in this case. I might look at them again when it's time to replace the bigger bag.
Figure a K5 with 70-300 or DA55-300 mounted(future), the 18-55 or 18-135 as the second lens.
The 50mm can be stuffed almost anywhere, add some lens wipes, spare battery and SD card and I'm done. Anything significantly bigger approaches the size of the Adorama slinger quickly, and I don't want BBA
Twitch - I was looking at the Crumpler 5mil, which is where I saw the comments about it wearing against close, and someone pointing to the Domske- any thoughts there on either of those?
Primes - hmm. The holster I can see once I get my 'final gear' sorted, but it won't handle the generic mounted lens + spare I need for right now. They do have some nice stuff though, the retrospective looks quite nice, if a bit $, thanks!
@shraubstock - what did you replace the thinktank with?
@sterretje - the offtrail 2 with 1 lens case but as a shoulder/sling bag is exactly what I'm looking for, unless I wind up with one of the 'doesn't look like a camera bag' bags. It's not a sling bag though from what I see, only a belt-pack/waist-pack? That's fine for some cases, but really looking for a shoulder (or convertible) bag right now. You're right on the weatherproofing...I doubt the CL is. It may well be the 'quick and cheap' option, and throw a garbage bag into the pocket, if I can't find a more ideal solution (trip is coming up soon)..
@ff - I've seen a few Tamracs, and they look pretty nice, but it's tough to find one on the smaller side, this is the closest I've found so far:

Those Tamrac expresses look similar to the 5MHD and the Domke 5 (some long number, think I linked above to it), thanks. The model you mention is too big for my current needs, but they have a few sizes..can't seem to find pics yet with an actual person holding each of them. How's it hold up in moderate rain and over time?
