Bag recommendation for Mamiya C series system?

Try a Backpack

I purchased a LowePro backpack for my Mamiya C330 system 10-15 years ago. It works very well, not too big yet capable of camera, multiple lenses and the same size Vivitar flash that you mentioned. Also extra zippered compartments for filters, film etc. See photos. Unfortunately, I cannot find this model on LowePro's website and it is not marked, but I remember it being a "Trecker" of some sort. It measures approx 16 in tall x 13 in wide x 9 in deep. It is heavily padded including the carrying straps. I usually carry it around with one strap over my shoulder.

Just an update. I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361402980310 for a whopping $25 including shipping.

It is perfect! The body with the 80mm/55mm fits perfectly in the padded area, and then I can fit 3 more lenses; 2 on on side, and one on the other. Where the single lens is, I have my light meter (Sekonic L-408), but a flash (285HV) would fit just fine as well. Lots of large pockets for film and other stuff, and it doesn't look like a camera bag or a purse (IMO). The canvas seems durable, and the strap is wide enough to be comfortable.

For $25 I'm a very happy camper... but my 15 year old style-conscientious daughter just told me she thinks it's ugly.

good find!
