I have a Lowepro Messenger 250. It is very roomy and can be bulky and restrictive at times. Worst of all, it screams out, "I have an expensive camera inside waiting for you to steal." I have dressed it down with several patches and it tends to look like it is holding ordinary documents. I currently have a Safepac which slings over my shoulder and is tight against my back. I don't feel the weight of a camera body and four lenses as much It isn't as roomy as my other Messenger Bag, but I don't carry that much gear to begin with.
Happy Shooting!

I've had a Tenba for over 25 years; like a Timex, it just keeps ticking.

Presently, I am liking all things Think Tank. I just purchased a very nice bag of this type for my Z6 system. They make many sizes to fit all. I even have an extra that I bought that I really never used that I will sell you on the cheap. PM me if interested. Happy Holidays.

I love the Lowenpro Passport Sling Bag, and it carries better if used as a shoulder bag than a sling. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1032320-REG/lowepro_lp36658_passport_sling_iii_gray.html
If you buy the gray version it's $36, the black version costs more. It holds my camera, and 1 lens if I use a separate case for it (there's room)...it unzips to make a much larger bag if you need it, and molds well to your body.

But those are not messenger style bags like the OP was asking about.

He can still look em up. Those in the pic are all at last 22 years old.

True, but I've tried messenger bags and thought the sling, if worn on one shoulder, filled the same niche but did a better job, at least for me, and they seem pretty close at that point. The sling was noticeably more comfortable over time. At any rate, that's why I contributed.

An insert into a non-expensive looking back pack is how I plan to carry one body, two not-large lenses, charger and two batteries, and a card holder. Will not download on the trip. Plan to change cards every day or so (3 week trip to Morocco). I will have a look at Domke; thanks for the suggestion.

I've had a Tenba messenger bag for the past 10+ years and it is an EXCELLENT product. Still like brand new. They put lots of thought into their products and I am thououghly happy with it.

If you are not carrying a lot of equipment, this bag is a good buy...

I just got that one, haven't used it yet.
It is a nice bag for the price.
