I'm NOT done buying camera bags

On a lighter note to put yesterday's rant behind me, I'll tell you I have a problem that many of you likely have. I'm on the eternal quest for the perfect bag for my Fuji kit. Of course there is no perfect bag and most of us likely have at least a couple for different types of outings.
i just sold a Vanguard Alta Sky 45D. Nice bag but after selling my drone, it was too big. My Tenba Fulton arrived yesterday. I'm moving things from my Lowepro Slingshot into it. Both of them are nice bags for different outings.
What are you packing your kit in?

I've found Vanguard to be highly underrated on camera forums - their products seem to have really good cost-performance, though are neither the highest quality nor the cheapest. Perhaps why they get ignored.

I use(d) a Vanguard ziin 21 when I carried (or carry) my X-S10 and two lenses (formerly the 15-45 and the 50-230, more recently the 16-80 and 70-300) or just my film SLR and a couple extra lenses. It's small, light, discreet-ish, and supposedly weather-proof, though I'm hesitant to put that to too much of a test. The pockets on the inside and frontside also have a surprising amount of room in them, being enough to carry lens filters and a couple extra batteries.

More recently I got the Vanguard Veo Range 38, a considerably larger bag that allows me to carry (nearly) my full kit with me wherever I go. I can fit my X-S10 and the three lenses I keep on it as well as my film SLR and the lenses I use for it, along with plenty of space for accessories for both and can even strap my tripod to the outside of it. It's got room to spare on top of that as well, which I'm hoping to fill with the Sigma 16 and 56 when I have the spare cash to reasonably afford them. While this one itself doesn't claim weatherproofing it does also have a rain cover that tucks away in a back pocket too. I'm very happy with it overall!
