from a lot of comments here, i'll throw in my own endorsement for the hadley pro. i had one for a whole day out on a island shooting in 30 degree (celcius) weather and i barely felt it there.

I just posted photos and thoughts on my new Courierware bag here.

First impression- I love it!

I have the Hadley Small, just come back from a short trip to Scotland. No problems with (heavy) rain. I had an OM-D with 9-18, 20, 30, 45 and 40-150. In one pocket lens pen, cloths; in the other table-top tripod and spare battery. Extra cards and the flash in odd corners. Very happy.

With five lenses in your bag, the one on the camera will always be the wrong one.So you will be changing lenses while the shot gets away.Small bag with less choices = better shooting experience.I've learned this the hard way.

Heh... I have a ThinkTank Retrospective 5 and have been carrying my Panasonic DMC-GX1, a 7-14mm, 14-45mm and 45-200mm lenses, and the EVF for the camera, extra battery, extra cards, cable release, etc... A lot of crap for street shooting.

Now that the 20 f/1.7 is back in stock at B&H I ordered one and when I go out street shooting I"m gonna put the 20 and the EVF on the GX1 and that will be my whole kit. The other stuff is great stuff and very useful for other kinds of photography, but for walking around in SF looking for people shots, the greatly abbreviated rig will be fine, and it will fit in a jacket pocket.

If I can't make street images with that rig, the problem is with the photographer, not the equipment.

a gym bag and inserts might work for you.

Actually, no. When you're prepared for everything, you're not really prepared for anything.

Domke Bags are great, but I have found the knock-off Safrotto bags on Ebay to be equally wonderful, if not more resilient and desirable than the Domkes (for me)... Plus half the cost and includes a free three pocket gear insert.

Had mine a while and its Perfect for my E-M5 kit (Body, Panny 20mm, Kalimar 50mm, Oly 14-42mm, YN560 Speed Flash, Journal, Batts, etc...) Hangs comfortably, water repellant enough for my uses, though I wouldn't trek out in a apocalyptic downpour. Durable and light. Highly recommended.

just had a messanger bag for riding my fixed gear, and last night i tried to insert the partition bag in it and it fitted 1 body+2lens, its light and cheap and could use my all weather if its rain

For anyone interested, I'm selling my M-Classics camera bag. Much like the Hadley or Billingham. Excellent hand made quality and very comfortable to shoot all day with. Only reason I'm selling it is because I've simply amassed too many damn bags and need to thin out the group!
