It gets in the way when I shoot, and I always have to get my darling assistant carry it. It otherwise impairs creativity with a bag sliding across my shoulder ever so often, especially if I shoot solo. Not to mention the strain it has on my back and shoulders trying to balance a one sided weight while shooting.
After the poisonous 550D meet-up, I've decided I should invest in a decent backpack (not slings, please!) to walk around comfortably, independently. After all in the coming Japan trip, I would really dread having to walk about balancing my silly shoulder bag for hours on end.
All said and done. I'm looking at the Kata 3n1 20/22, or some Think Tank Product. It must support tripod carrying, it must be comfortable to the shoulders. Weight distribution must be excellent - thus a sternum + waist support system is a must. It must have a quick-draw compartment and it must not be too difficult to access. Size-wise, medium. Some personal space//interchangeable with expandability to accommodate new lenses (Most likely a 100mm Macro). Budget should be about 150~200+...since I'm buying to last, a little more should be okay. Having said that, I doubt there is a single bag that fits my needs.
Wish me luck in my hunt!
