What's your camera bag and what's in it?

Okay, here are some pics of my 'running' bag, the one I use on assignments. This affordable Safrotto (which I'm told is a clone of the Domke F2) has pretty much replaced my Tamrac Ultra Pro 13
Pics
Anticlockwise from top left:
- AF-S Nikkor 24-70 f2.8G
- AF-DC Nikkor 135mm f2
- AF-S Nikkor 50mm f1.4G
- AF-S Nikkor 70-200 f2.8G
- 2 x Nikon SB-900
- 3 x Phottix Atlas wireless triggers
- AF-S Nikkor 14-24 f2.8G
The space above the 14-24 is used for 1 x portable HDD and 1 x card reader with cables
Same as above, different angle - there is a zippered compartment in the top flap that I use for my 2 Honl Speed Straps, 30+ Honl colored gels, and a Honl Speed Grid 1/8
Side pocket - one on each side, holding a Nikon D3s and a Nikon D700 with MB-D10 battery grip.
Front pockets usually hold
- 4 x AA batteries
- BL-3 adapter with D3s battery for use on the MB-D10 for high speed shooting (as backup)
- standard AA battery pack for the MB-D10 with 4 fresh alkalines (in case I need to use the D3s battery in the D3 and still need high speed shooting, and the alkalines can be used for the SB-900s when needed
- a spare battery for the D700/MB-D10
I also stash a BlackRapid and a SunSniper strap in the other front pocket, and when needed, the TC14 teleconverter.
I also have a Manfrotto clamp on my main bag strap, and if I move the camera straps inside the main compartment of the bag, I can squeeze another Manfrotto clamp (the winding one) inside the front pocket. I've also been able to lash a Joby Gorillapod Focus to the bag, and squeeze in a lens chamois and a LensPen in the back pocket.
On portrait assignments, my lens configuration goes with the 24-70/2.8G, 85/1.4D, 105/2DC, 135/2DC, and stick with the flash and flash triggers
On concert assignments, I switch out to the 70-200/2.8G, 24-70/2.8G, 35/2D, 50/1.4G, and stick with the flash and flash triggers
On motorsports/sports assignments, I switch over to the 70-200/2.8G with TC14 on standby (esp for daylight shoots), a 24-70/2.8G, Sigma 24/1.8 macro, and either the 35/2D or the 50/1.4G. If I leave the 1 flash at home along with both clamps, I can squeeze in the 14-24 as well. The Joby Gorillapod Focus also functions well as a lightstand that I can stash anywhere, making it doubly useful
There is also enough space between the inner compartment and the bag for me to squeeze in a
- Lumiquest LQ-105 flash modifier (80-20 with different colored bounce cards)
- Lumiquest portable softbox
- bunch of 3 RogueBender light modifiers (which can be configured as snoots/flags/gobos)
Above pics were shot with a Sony NEX5 with 16/2.8 pancake lens and shot on my bed. Sorry I couldn't be bothered to set up everything properly, but it's the weekend and I'm feeling really lazy at the moment

I usually alter my bag and configuration depending on the event or assignment. Here's what's in a more diversified event without my 300mm f/4L.
Taken with an iPhone so quality not so good...
Not shown are some spare CF cards, microfibre cloth and flash filters/diffusers etc.

Haha not sure about your size... But my sw hd is alright for my size. It's bulky yes, but if you require it to bring your equipment... Who cares about attention? Photographers always have bulky bags and belts etc...
Great buy, that Safrotto... Unfortunately Safrotto are a little on the ex side in SG nowadays, especially the billingham lookalikes.
Yeah, but man, it is such a convenient bag. fits em all. Just picked up a Domke J1 from eBay for USD100, so that's going to be even more interesting
Domkes are generally overpriced here in SG too.
