Need Smaller Camera Pack

Furtherance to yesterday question, I am looking for a smaller bag to carry one camera (Canon MK111 with 24mm-105mm) with one other lens (70mm-300mm), that's it. At the moment I have the old triangle type with a couple of zip pockets. This just carry's the camera and 24mm-105mm lens.
Lucky for me, I visit the B&H store in a few weeks. ( oh my goodness, must remember to leave credit cards at hotel room)
Any recommendations on a walkabout, small shoulder bag?
Cheers, love you all .

I just picked up the Tamrac Explorer 42 for a lighter load when flying. It hold's my Nikon D 7100 with 24-85 afs lens mounted and 70-300 VR next to it with room also for a 35 f1.8 and portable battery charger. $40.00 at Amazon. My wife still thinks it's too big,

These are probably the best bags you can buy:

They do all sizes, I have the Hadley Pro for my A6000 with 70-200, two other lenses and all the gubbins you need - spare batteries, blower brush etc. There's also a pocket for a tablet. You need the shoulder pad, which, like the bag, is not cheap, but the whole thing will last a lifetime.

I've used one of these for 3 years now and it still works like a charm (and I like the price). Look further on ebay for a better price.

Maybe you got more lenses by now. I have two of these Tenba Vector 3 bags from Cameta, available on Amazon, for more than 2 years each. They are lightweight and very strong. At $20 they can't be beat at twice the price.
