    Camera Bag Inserts?

    I don't often carry a purpose made camera bag.

    I prefer to carry a leather shoulder bag, briefcase, or other non-camera bag.

    My stuff gets kind of jumbled around, however. I'm looking at some drop-in inserts to keep my camera stuff organized.

    Anyone have a favorite type/brand?

    I just picked up a Kalahari Canvas shoulder camera bag at a shop here in Germany and really like it. It looks absolutely nothing like a camera bag, but works great, even with my 5D and the 70-200 attached. I bought two blocks for it - a smaller one for when I'm out and about locally, and one that is double the normal size for longer trips. Here's the rub - I can't find where to buy the inserts/blocks online. Looks like the bags themselves are only a Euro thing as they aren't listed on Amazon.com (just Amazon.uk). Here is the company's website, but it doesn't have all that much information: http://www.kalaharikanvas.com/product.html

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm sure you can get something similar in the U.S. though.

    For a discreet messenger bag look I go with this bag and insert. Holds my 5D w/ kit lens on it plus two other lenses and flash no problem. The insert is a perfect fit for this bag. Price is right on both these as well

    F-stop does make nice ones, and I'd be interested in selling my large Pro ICU if you want. I'm trying to pick up a medium since I'm going on a trip that's going to require more clothes/food/etc. than camera gear.

    Those do look nice. Large is going to be larger than I need, however. (This is for a micro 4/3 outfit.)
