I wonder if anyone can give me a good recommendation for a bag for a NEX5 and 4 lenses. Something of this style would be best I think. But I think 4 lenses would be an absolute minimum...

I can recommend National Geographic Medium Satchel. Looks good, fits my Canon 550D + 3-4 lenses and other stuff. My colleague has a Vanguard up-rise messenger bag (I think 33). I looks nice and good enough for camera body + few lenses.
From pictures I like Billingham bags. Perhaps in May I'll order one of the bags from Billingham.

I have a LowePro Nova 2 I believe - I'll have to check on the exact name of the model. It fits my NEX-5N with several lenses and adapters, plus a GoPro HD Hero in its housing and with some mounting accessories. All this goes in without problems. You can get a used one cheap.

I recently got one of these to replace a crumpler bag.

It's pefect with my NEX + a few lenses.

Any bag + case for camera + 4 old leatherette cases to lenses, this set is very variable Wink

Suggestion: How about an open thread about camera bags? Perhaps under "Adapters, Films, and other Accessories" so everyone could show their camera bags and maybe write a few pros and cons about the bag.

There is a such a thread on the canon forums, http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36952

100+ pages of camera bags.

Generally I have good experiences with LowePro and Samsonite bags.
I also like Kata bags a lot.

But my absolute favourite (for built and style) are Billingham or CCS Hertiage bags - beautiful!

As an inconspicious solution I would recommend a "large combat bag" from the German Army.

Sorry for the cell-phone picture, but here is my Domke F5XB

It fits CV 15, 18-55, G28, 45, 90. All are small lenses, but they fit easily. It also fits various lens caps, spare cards, microfiber cloths, lens pen, instruction manual, hood and tripod mount + battery charger if I'm going some place for a while.



I think it's about perfect, to be honest. It's small and doesn't stick out as a camera bag.
