I generally work out of a Crumpler 7 Million sized messenger bag and it probably runs 10 to 15 pounds depending on the mix of lenses and bodies that I'm carrying. 1 body, 1 flash, a 70-210 or 60-300 zoom, 3 small to medium sized primes and the DA 18-55 would be a typical single body load out. If I'm carrying a second body then it would be added to that. With my 645 body and lens I only have room for 2 mid sized lenses and a flash for the DSLR.
I find that the sling bag is more comfortable for long walks than the Slingshot 200 that I used to carry because the slingshot didn't balance as well and it was awkward to shift from one shoulder to the other. Even with the waist strap on the slingshot concentrated too much weight in one place on my right shoulder.
I ended up with a Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 that came included with some other stuff but I have only used it to carry flash gear and diffusers so far. It is too short for my torso and sits too high on my back to be comfortable with a heavy load. Eventually I want to pick up a larger backpack, and ideally one that I can get into without having to set it on the ground and open the main compartment up completely.
