Hi

I just recently received my 40-150 pro with mc-14 teleconverter. Now before I start birding again and taking wildlife photos in the forest or where I can get close to small birds, big birds I need a camera backpack that can hold the following items.

EM-1
FL-600R Flash
m.zuiko 40-150 f2.8 pro + MC-14 teleconverter
m.zuiko 300 f4 pro (when it comes out i'll be adding this to my kit)
m.zuiko 60mm f.28 macro
m.zuiko 12-40 f2.8 pro
Handful of UV and CPL filters
3 spare batteries
4xAA batteries
cleaning kit and cloths
Battery charges etc I don't care for as I wont be charging in the wild
I have seen a few that look ok online but without physically seen them its hard to know how everything will fit.
Anyone know of a good backpack anywhere between 0-100 AUD out there that can accommodate for this or have similar kit even with 4/3 lenses or any adapted lenses?

I went to Norway last september with two bodies, oly 50-200 + tc and a lot of other lenses. I used my old Lowepro Mini Trekker AW and I'd say it can hold your gear comfortably.

The inside is quite adjustable, and there is room on the front pocket for a lot of extra stuff. You can even mount a tripod on it, which I found quite useable for long walks. I found the bag to be comfortable enough for these long walks.

Downside is that you have to take the pack off your back for camera access...

But as the bag has been around for some years already, it is easy to find one second hand, if you want.
