Camera bag for NYC trip

[Ridgewoodwoody]

Lucky us - we're shortly going on a family trip to Manhattan. Obviously lots of photo opportunities whilst doing all the touristy bits. I want to take my E-M1 Mkii with 12-40 lens and my e-M10 Mkiii for the Panasonic 20mm and Laowa 10mm. I've got a big enough camera bag for all of this in the Vanguard VEO Select 45 which will also serve as my carry-on to take a Kindle, headphones etc. but I don't want to carry this around the city once there. So. I'm asking form advice on getting a comfortable shoulder bag that would accommodate one body at a time and two of the lenses. Although changing lenses in a busy city won't be ideal carrying round both bodies and the three lenses might prove a bit shoulder-waring, as light as the Olympus gear is, my ageing frame could groan after a while. Anyway, advice much appreciated.

Have not gone to USA. But on my UK trip, it's almost 12-40/2.8. Use a backpack as the weight is shared.

My travel pack these days, 8, 12-40, 35-100 and 100-300. Not that heavy and ready for anything.

Billingham Hadley Small is hard to fault as a smallish shoulder bag.

I use mine quite a bit when wandering around cities, good that its waterproof too
The newer Pro version looks even better with a zipped pocket on the back and a handle.

My other favourite is a Think Tank Retrospective 5, just the right size for wandering in busy cities and towns.
I have the original version, current V2 looks good with the bottle pouch and zipped inside cover.

I would also recommend the Billingham Hadley Small Pro. It'll easily take what you want to carry and, in the event of rain, it's fully waterproof, so you don't have to bother with a rainhood.

I like a simple bag that doesn't scream "expensive camera gear" in cities. The 'Movo' lens changer is handy for making rapid lens changes without needing 3 hands or putting-down space. Not sure if it's currently available for MFT, though.

Just take your phone! So much less hassle and great for taking those offbeat photos that are not just the 10 millionth shot of a tourist attraction. Relish the freedom and lack of weight!

You are the best.

Thanks everyone. Just ordered the Hadley Small Pro and will be taking my phone for those occasions!
