New backpack
      #675839 - 07/07/2008 20:41

If you've read my recent post regarding my MB-D10, i now have the small problem of the camera/MB-D10 not fitting in my lowepro backpack as the combo is 170mm tall and the interior of the backpack 130mm (depth), i like the photo trekker AW2 but that is 155mm in depth or the vertex 300AW,which is 165 mm in depth, do any of you guys 'n' dolls own/use either of these backpacks. I would like the super trekker AW2 but at around £300 it's a bit pricey.
Any advice would be a great help, Thanks guys 'n' dolls.

I don't use them... but to add another to your options...

LowePro Primus-AW

Fits my D3 with a lens in the top section and two/three lenses in the lower section

If you dont rush shoots, then you could take it off in transit?

I dont use rucksacks, so I cant be much help.

I use a lowepro slingshot 200.

My D300 fits in here just fine with the MB-D10 and 18-200VR attached. Still room for my flash, sigma 10-20, and 85mm F1.8

I use the Slingshot 200AW too - to make things fit better I often take the lens of my D200 + MB-D200 and put the body cap on, making it quite flat in one plane.

I use a Tamrac Velocity 9X - easily takes a pro-body with lens attached plus plenty of room for other stuff (flash, lenses etc.) It's a sling type bag. I have mine hoisted up when carrying it on my back then loosen the strap and have it slung round my side when using it.

The Primus one looks good though - the side flap is a nice touch but is it easy to use or is it fiddly to put the camera back in with lens hood attached? (I usually keep the hood on - saves mucking about with caps etc.)
