Domke not padded meh? Padded enough for my cheapo gears I guess...

I am using Domke F-3XZ for light gear (1 body with 3 lenses, or 2 lenses + flash, can even fit a small white unattached).

For carry all, I am using a Billingham 305 Presstop. Was selling in Tin Cheung @ HK for only $1700 HKD 4 years back. I think it sells close to $400 USD on BH.

Adding a bit more on the Domke

I find it to have sufficient padding. It's perfectly sized (smallest size you can fit 2 short lenses + a long lens). It's so well sized that it feels like a normal messenger bag. I have used Crumpler before. The outer shell material is very hard, making it very bulky even if empty. Also, like LowePros, Crumpler is no longer an inconspicuous camera bag brand anymore, making it an easy theft target.

The major downside of the F-3XZ is that it have virtually no useful pockets aside from the main compartment. The main compartment is zipper protected tho however if anyone is interested. There's also no additional features (velcro silencer, etc) on the Domke.

A recent bag that I am interested in is the ThinkTank Retrospective line. That said I tried it at Broadway Camera and it seems to be slightly on the bulky side. Not really a perfect fit like the Domke. Give that a try if you don't mind a little bit of bulkiness.

no padding? Just thinner padding ba? F-5XZ have padding, just not that thick compared to those insane 3/4" padding the Crumper have. I know the Crumpler will help your gear survive drops a lil better... but really, you don't want to drop anything at all to begin with. I think a padding that helps me with bumps and scratches is good enough. The extra bulkiness is not worth it otherwise.

F-5XB is just the shorter version of F-5XC. And the F-5XC have the same form factor as the F-5XZ that I got. How do you find the F-5XB?

Nice Korean blog on the F-5XC. Just nice pictures, I don't know Korean.
