As I have a bad back and suffer when I am on my feet for long periods of time, I needed a gear bag for traveling. I at first thought I would get a belt mounted system, but after a lot of thought and after speaking to my friend who is an Orthopedic Surgeon i decided a sling bag is the only way to go. I ordered the Tamrac Velocity Sling Bag model number 5768 from Calumet Photo. It looks like it will hold my Pentax K100D Super and the Tamron 18-250 mounted on the lens, plus at least two additional lenses. I should have it this some time this week, and I will post my first impressions. The bag will allow me to carry my gear in the back, but swing it to my front in order to get to my camera. My next purchase will be a small case for the front strap to hold filters for quick availability.
I will also have to purchase an additional memory card and the adapter that allows me to transfer my photos to my Archos 504. This will allow me to off load my photos each night for safety.
I will also purchase on EBay a lens shade for my Pentax FA 50mm f1.7 lens, as I plan to use it often. A Pentax flash would also be nice, but that won't come so soon as I will need to save for this.
