I currently have a Crumpler Jimmy Bo 600, in which can carry round the following:

Canon 60d
Tamron 17-50mm (attached to camera)
Canon 50mm f/1.4
Yongnuo YN468 speedlite
+ few accessories (a few filters, spare battery etc)


I also have a Lowepro flipside 400 for when I take all my kit with me or for storage at home i.e. above plus
Grip for Canon 60d
Sigma 10-20mm
Canon 70-200m f/4
Tamron 90mm macro
Sigma 135-400mm
Macro ringflash
Tripod
+ more accesories


I would like a bag inbetween these two, so I could carry something like the following:
Canon 60d
Grip for Canon 60d
Tamron 17-50mm (attached to camera)
Canon 50mm f/1.4
Yongnuo YN468 speedlite
Sigma 10-20mm or Canon 70-200 f/4

+ few accessories (a few filters, spare battery etc)


I was thinking something along the line of the Crumpler Muffin Top 5500, but not sure if this will hold the above? I can get a new once of these for £25 delivered, but wondered if anyone knew if the above will fit, or if anyone had anymore suggestions? (ideally not too expensive, especially if the Crumpler would fit everything for £25)
 
I reckon a Think Tank Retrospective 10 would take that kit. A lot more money, but lovely to use and will last for years.
 
I gave up searching for camera bags that would suite my equipment and simply used regular bags instead.

1. Buy some camera inserts or padded dividers from ebay.
2. Buy any messenger bag / backpack that you like.
3. Tadaah! Your very own customised bag for cheap.

For my backpack, I use a lowepro exchange messenger as the "camera insert". Its cheap and it'll easily fit into most backpacks.
For my messenger bag, I bought a generic sling bag from Debenhams and added a Matin camera insert into it.
 
Have gone for the crumpler. Reviews and photos on line suggest it will hold what I need it to, and don't think you can beat it at £25 delivered
