Well I ordered a Tamrac Expedition 6x from Amazon to take my gear with me to El Salvador tomorrow. I went running to Camera Co-Op and Houston Camera Exchange to see the different backpacks and this is what I decided on. Everything will be a tight fit, but considering I will be carrying the camera and main lens in my hand, it should work out fine. There was even a space for my laptop. So here is what I am bringing:-Nikon D700
-Nikon 50mm f/1.4G
-Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G
-Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G
-Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR
-Nikon SB-400 Speedlight
-Nikon SB-900 Speedlight
-Apple MacBook Pro 13"
Everything fit in the bag I tried out just fine, a little tight. What I like about it is that it is water resistant (only Lowepro has waterproof) so I don't need the rain coat that comes with Think Tank or Lowepro AW bags. Padding on the straps seemed very comfortable and seemed lightweight when carrying some photo gear (laptop and some of the stuff will stay at the hotel). It should be delivered tomorrow, just in time for Saturday's trip!
10.09 - Well I decided to return the backpack, a little too big for my liking. The search for the perfect photo backpack continues.
