Hey, Gray-y, I've never seen a correspondent in a photo jacket - only photo
dweebs! I love the word Dweeb.
Most of the photojournalists that I know / have seen use Domke. The F-803
which Shel recommended would be my choice, if I could get one here.
Do you mean this?

If you buy from there, watch out for sizes. I used my normal procedure
and went for the largest available. Something made me check just before
I pressed the "order" button. We could both have got into the one I was
going to order. I'm three sizes down from the largest. Buying was easy
and it is exceptionally cheap. No comeback from HMC&E.

photo dweeb, apparently 8-)
What I currently use for the type of kit described is a LowePro Street &
Field Reporter 200, which is very useful and versatile.

My main criticisms of it are:
1. It's ballistic nylon, so it is sweaty in hot climates where it makes
contact with your body
2. It doesn't really need 2 fasteners - one would be better
3. It should have a Domke-type fastener for speed of opening and closing -
you need 2 hands to close it, with Domkes you only need one.
4. I don't like the sculpted style of shoulder strap.

Nothing like the desert or the jungle, huh?
Never worn one? They are basically long shirts with big baggy
pockets. Wear a light t-shirt under it and roll the sleeves
up. Quit comfortable actually. And you look like a
correspondent instead of a photo dweeb. But then tastes vary.
BTW I would kind of appreciate your not calling me Wolfy.
