hello after a lot search i find out what i like best fot my gh3. A backpack bag. I have also 6 lenses, 14 45lumix 45 175 lumix and then rokkor 35-70, 50,135 and Olympus 100. i'll probably add a 24, and or a 35 (rokkor).plus i have rode videomic.Now what was my concern was the space for all of thiese lenses, trying to be as light as i could. i point lowepro FLIPSIDE 400 AW and CAeSE LOGIC SLRC206. They both not so big, and lowepro as the nice feature to turn and make a fast acces. someone is telling me that i should consider the fact i use a mirrorless camera, and these backpack are meant for bigger bodies, so it is not good, it is a waste , it don't suite good or whatever. I have not idea, never own a bag before.What is your opinon?
 
I'm very happy so far with my Flipside 400 AW. I'm carrying GH2, GH3, a couple of lenses, a GoPro, a Sanyo HD2000, and a Zoom H6 along with various Gorillapods and such.

so youhave 2 body.what i don't understand is may be a problem placing a camera in a place that is intended for a bigger one
 
i have seen some pics of a friend having a mirrorles and a number of lenses like mine...the bag look really oversized though..
 
i use an incase backpack. on a heavy shoot i can fit 3 bodys (one with lense) 4-5 lenses, audio recorder, mic's, and laptop if needed as the outer pockets easily expand. you adjust the dividers to fit. its the size of a standard backpack. i also have a smaller bag for just body+lense + extra normal sized lens for lighter shooting.

as long as the dividers can be moved around makes no difference whether it was made for big or small cameras. with all those lenses you have listed a backpack seems to be the best choice. if you were only going to carry an extra 2-3 normal sized lenses the incase sling backpack might be for you, quick access and all that jazz.
 
I bought this one from Amazon Basics for $30, I love it. It fits my GH2 and a bunch of lenses just fine, and even fits a 5D or 7D as well.Lots of customizable compartments, very sturdy.

I have a medium sized slingbag for just taking the camera and a few lenses out. But when I travel or have a larger project, I have a Kata Bug: http://www.kata-bags.com/bug-205-pl-for-pro-dslr-w-300mm-lens-attached-5-6-lenses

LOVE the bag, with the GH2/3 being so small, you can fit a lot more in the bag than they list, but some extra dividers are helpful. I traveled to Cambodia w/ this and about 30lbs of gear, including my MacBook Pro and Manfrotto Monopod.
 
considering the budget i want to iuse i don't consider kata whic are really nice bag but more expensive, plus they don't have tripod support, but need to buy separate. i am looking at flipside 300(may be more adequate than 400 being little bit smaller), vertex 100 both from lowepro. then there are 2 outsider form germany, looks good and cheaper than other mantona rhodolit and cullmann lima 400. tamrac expedition 6looks very nice but from spec is is heavy!

It is a spendy bag, but, it does come with a tripod holder! There are extra options beyond that that are extra though.
 
ok this one has tripod support included while most kata don't. it is really nice bag , i investigate the link you supplied, but as i said i was soon stopped from price, which is totally out of my budget

I use the Flipside 400 when shooting with the GH2. It's a good transport bag when carrying a couple of bodies, a fistful of primes, a mic, and other stuff. The harness system is ok but not as good as a hiking pack. Not the best for hauling gear all day with, but it'll work.
 
well.i have made a thought. i was not thinking that most probably i will get a loupe soon.so a bigger bag like flipside 400 will be just perfect i suppose
 
This is a nice compact backpack I found, bought mine at WalMart when it first came out so I paid about $10 more than amazon has it priced. I have mine configured a bit different, I like to be able to put the GH3 with a lens attached up in the top. It can be a slightly "tight" fit but I prefer that, the camera won't "move around". Not quite as fast to get into as a "sling" bag but it works well for me.
