Post Camera Bag/Backpack Pics

Go to last post
Any bag that will hold all this and a laptop?

Normally I wouldn't carry a laptop with me, but I want to take it on vacation with me along with the 20D and lenses.

When I was buying a camera bag to house all of my equipment, I got
frustrated trying to get an idea of the size of each bag and what
it could hold. Although there are some threads with pictures of
bags showing the owners equipment, they are often hard to find
using the search engine. So, I thought it would be useful to post
a thread where those of us with bags could post pics to help others
get a feel for the size of the bags.

So, feel free to post some pics and be sure to include the name of
the bag so others can find it using the search engine (when it's
working ;)).

After returning the Nature Trekker II AW (too big), I ended up with
the Lowepro Micro Trekker 200. It holds all of my equipment for
now. I may add a 70-200 2.8 in the future, but if/when I do, I
probably will leave the Bigma at home.

comparisons to other equipment.

there is a ton of miscleneous stuff in the bag, and i really want the larger version but dont think i could get enough selling this one to make it worth upgrading.

 
The bottom zippered compartment could probably hold a 70-200 f/4L.

This picture from the Lowe site:



Below is my current content. I only use the main compartment for
camera gear, the outside pockets hold snacks and other stuff. The
center divide fits the camera with either of the 50, 17-40 or 24-70
lenses attached (the zooms with the hoods reversed).

I'm looking to buy a smaller shoulder bag for around town, probably
the Tamrac 5605, if I can verify that it can hold the camera with
grip, the 24-70 with hood, and the 70-200 with hood reversed. It
looks to be very tight.

I use this pack and a couple others. One thing I have found is that I have no where to put food, water, clothing, climbing gear.

So the last year has seen me putting my 70-200 in a beanie, my 16-35 on a 10D in my chest pouch and a flash wrapped up in my rain shell.

As great as these packs are for just being a photographer, they simply don't help the real outdoorsman who is very action oriented. You won't find many pros using them exclusively for the real deal.

Good luck folks.
 
I bought one a Computrekker, but it seems too big really to trek around with. (I won't be carrying 6 lenses and a laptop with me generally.



The other problem is that it doesn't seem to be appropriate for carrying anything else. Even if I just take a body and two lenses and a flash, the other compartments are not good for carrying other gear.

Therefore I suspect I might be using this more for basic transport than real hiking, esp. since I won't be hiking with a laptop either.

Thus I'm thinking about the small Roots Classic Mini camera bag. It competes against the Micro Trekker, but it looks nicer and less like a camera pack.

I've got two of these bags (1 film, 1 digital).

They're indispensable, huge and rugged.

I'll post pics this evening.

(I also have a Pelican case for my RB67, but it's not that exciting.)
