Scale reference? Is this sized for, say, a 35mm or DSLR and a lens or two, or big enough for an RB67 with 2-3 lenses and 2-3 film backs?

I have one and can fit in a Yashica TLR, some filters and film, along with a compact digi-P&S. Have to admit I haven't used it all that much. It was initially acquired for a private rail car trip that involved the opportunity for several days of wandering on foot in New Orleans and I was trying to travel light with something that didn't shout "CAMERA!!!!" Alas, some sort of glitch at the organizer's end scrubbed the whole trek.
 
Too small, even if it weren't gone. I'm looking for something that will let me haul my RB67, 50, 90, and 250 lenses plus 2x teleconverter, four film backs (6x7 and 6x4.5 on 120, Graflex 22, and 6x7 on 220), some film, eventually a prism finder, plus filters, cable release, film, etc. Currently I'm using a laptop bag, which is just about big enough, but the messenger strap is on the weak side (not to mention too much weight for one shoulder).
 

For all of that, I would recommend a traditional backpack. I use a LowePro Mini-Trekker AW (not for sale), and I think it would work for you. I can take my Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm, 80mm and 150mm lenses, three backs (one on camera), my Minolta light meter and still have some spare space.
 
Thanks, @fdonadio , I'll check on the Mini-Trekker. I suspect it'll cost ten times what this offering was. Metered prism and another lens (or set of macro tubes), or backpack to carry the kit...
