What's that going to weigh Ken ? I have only four lenses for my Mamiya C330F and it's heavy enouigh in a Domke F2 bag which is smaller than the F1-X.
More than a Domke F2, Ben, for sure...
But the new bag really isn't intended primarily as a walk-around. It's more for those occasions when I wish to travel with the entire system. Like weekend photo trips, where I might spend a few days in some middle-of-nowhere remote location.
(Here's
my most recent destination for four days of such relaxing exploration. This region in southeastern Washington State is called The Palouse. Five minutes out of this town and it's more remote and minimalist than being on the moon.)
In these cases I may want to bring along the whole tomato, because one never knows. But like you I also have a smaller (and much older) Domke F2 bag which I can use to carry only a few slices of the tomato at a time.
Then if I'm walking around that day, I'll size up the expected activity and perhaps choose a subset of lenses (maybe two, or sometimes three) to work with that afternoon, and into the F2 bag they go. Everything else can stay behind in the hotel room (if it's secure), or in the hotel safe until I return. Or if I'm driving instead of walking, I can easily bring the whole tomato along with me for the afternoon.
Then when that rare subject unexpectedly introduces itself and needs the slow 250mm... at night... on a tripod... with a prism finder (?)... and a paramender (???)... an eight hour drive from home and I'm still good to go.
