Ideas for reasonably priced lightweight bag for d700 + 80-400 please?!

Hi
Well, got my ultimate 80-400 and can't wait to try him out properly! I'm off to Morocco quite soon and need something ultra lightweight and not too bulky so I can carry camera with lens in my day sack. As we're hoiking up a mountain and I'm not so fit, need something which won't kill me! Also limited by budget as I've just bought the lens!! Any suggestions?!

Will the lens be attached to the camera whilst it is in your day sack?

Hi Richard
Yes definitely!

I would be looking at aThink Tank Digital Holster 50

And if need be you can hang it off a belt.
From persoanl experience Thank Tank make good products.

Hi
Thanks but have a great Lowepro backpack which will be too big; looking for something totally lightweight. Think I'll probably just pad out an exped waterproof bag which I can then just fit into my day sack! Thanks though!!

Ooh the holster 50 looks really promising though. Thanks guys!

... in the end, I just used the ultra thin exped waterproof bag inside my day sack ... miraculously, the camera survived the trek despite my falling over repeatedly on the mountain!! Phew!
