I think something like this would probably fit that bill. Looks big enough to fit the 50-150 (I'm on crop) and the batteries/cards can probably fit in that front pocket.

Thanks for the tips!

I've been hunting for the "right" bag for years. I carry a MacBook Air (I favor ultralight laptops) and it's a challenge to find a bag with just the right form-factor. Not too big and not too small. My ideal bag has enough room for my daily gear, with a bit of extra space for additional items, and a convenient place to stow a water bottle. Sadly, I've yet to find the perfect bag for my needs, but I do have a few suggestions:

I've used RedOxx bags for years, and I've always been quite happy with them. I use the CPA laptop briefcase if I need to carry a ton of stuff. There's also the Metro Laptop Briefcase, which is a skinnier version of the CPA. I love the CPA, it's a phenomenal bag. However, it's just a little too big to be my daily driver. RedOxx also sells backpacks if you prefer that form-factor (I don't).

My daily driver is often the ThinkGeek Bag of Holding (Con Edition). It's the right size for my laptop and a few accessories, but not half as well-built as a RedOxx bag. I'm unsure if it'd fit a 15" macbook. I like it fine, but it's hard to recommend. It does everything I want it to do, but I'm constantly wishing for a better-built bag.

I've had my eye on the B7 Flight for a while, as it looks like it'd solve the problem of sometimes needing a big bag and sometimes needing a small one, and it looks like it's built for quality (their market is commercial airline pilots).

I used this dirt cheap canvas shoulder bag for years. The build quality is terrible and it'll fall apart after a while, but you can buy a dozen of them for the price of some other bag, and they're a great size for a small laptop and some extra stuff. I'm pretty sure it's too small for a 15" macbook, but there are dozens of this kind of bag on Amazon, a bigger one would probably work fine. I throw this recommendation in here as a reminder that you don't have to buy the best-of-the-best.

Of course, if you're made of money, you could always order something from Saddleback. They're beautiful, but too rich for my blood.
