So when I'm out and about I generally have a backpack with me; either a dedicated photo one (my old nature trekker does well considering its one of the few camera bags that has a big enough spot for non-camera stuff as well at the front); or a general rucksack which is nothing special and whilst it will hold a good number of things its not compartmentalised for carrying camera gear.
EDIT - Having been reminded of their existence I'm shifting this from a shoulderbag to VEST question because I think it will much better fit my needs than trying to juggle shoulder and backpacks at once.
So come all and share good ideas for a suitable photo vest. Ideally something that can hold a decent sized lens in the front pockets (eg a 70-200mm f2.8; 100-500mm etc...). I strikes me that with mirrorless cameras also burning through batteries faster it will also be good to have pouches easily accessible (and less likely to drop something than a trouser pocket) with those in as well, so an added bonus.
I've got vague memories of "The Vest Guy" being popular way way back years ago - though I'm in the UK not the USA which is a bit of a pain as they are based fully in the USA. But its been years since I last properly looked around so there might well be a bunch of other products on the market now.
