I had a custom Timbuk2 XS made in waterproof black material, and use a Oberwerth Freiberg insert ... it's the perfect camera bag ... and I don't say that lightly having been a bag pyscho for thirty years ... I'm done now.

I've been using a messenger bag like this for years, it has a padded camera insert and fits two M bodies with lenses attached and has a separate pouch for a laptop if you need it. Those buckles actually hide magnetic button studs so it's very quick to access. 

The waterproof canvas is tough as nails and no-one knows it's a camera bag. If I'm out on the street this is the bag I use.

With big gaps at the top flap to let water inside?  
 

Jeff

The canvas is waterproof, not the bag 😄

No but seriously, there is a zip inside to seal the camera compartment up and once there is tension on the shoulder strap the bag is squeezed together laterally and the gap disappears.  It's never been a problem for me in light rain but you're right it could be an issue if someone was out in a driving rain storm if water tracks inside through the gaps. Not such an issue where I live, but could be a concern for others for sure 👍

Wotancraft Pilot 7L and 2L

 

7L fits my M11, Sony A7 Body with 16-35mm GM comfortably

2L fits a M11 very well

 

It used to be the peak design sling bags. I found wotancraft bags a nicer design + outstanding quality AND the shoulder strap won't slip as it has a very thick anti slip material

I've been using a 3.5L recently, perfect for an M body with a lens and room for one additional lens and extra film or batteries. Haven't used the 7L one yet but I'm sure it will have its uses.

It varies and depends on the situation. If I want to take several cameras and lenses and the tripod with me, then

https://www.lowepro.com/de-de/protactic-bp-450-aw-ii-lp37177-grl/

Without tripod and less lenses and max. two cameras, this one

https://www.lowepro.com/de-de/nova-200-aw-ii-black-lp37142-pww/

Recently, however, this one has also been installed, but only with one camera and max. 3 short lenses. Although I already had the M11 with the APO-Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH., the TRI-ELMAR-M 1:4/16-18-21 ASPH. and the Nocticlux-M 0.95:1 ASPH. thereby. It's just very easy. Super Sling Bag

The now discontinued Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 Boarding/Messenger bag is a waterresistant canvas 8 litre shoulder bag. At a pinch, it will carry a Leica M with Zeiss Distagon 35 mounted, and a Panasonic G9 with 12-35 mounted. Without the second camera, there is ample room for small bits and pieces, like spare lenses. I line the bottom of mine with a Billingham padded velcro divider strip from the disappointingly heavy and bulky Hadley Pro. I really ought to have bought another Crumpler before they were discontinued as it is almost the perfect shoulder bag for me. The closest Crumpler has now is a bulkier and stiffer bag called the Billy, which has a thick shoulder pad, waterproof front flap pocket with velcro (ugh) and a diminished size rear zip pocket.

Like these bags a lot, but here in the UK they’re difficult to source and very expensive

To clarify,I mean difficult to source from the UK without significant shipping costs - which means there are more competitive options out there !

I think it was free to the US. What’s it to the UK?

You’re absolutely right- I’m out of date!  It is free regular shipping to the UK from the main site. They’re not easily available from UK dealers and the last time I looked involved buying from Europe with shipping !

Decision time!

Yea I don’t think any US dealer sells them either. Get yours directly from them! Shipping is pretty fast too. 
 

I used peak design for a while but stumbled over wotancraft in this forum actually. 
 

AND the strap man. That non slip layer is a massive game changer for me
