Which rucksack for 400D and two lenses

[Paul Holtom]

Want to be able to carry my 400D with 17-85 attached and also have my 10-22 and 70-300 plus space for lunch and waterproof.

Suggestions please, photo's would be great.

Try Redsnapper. The SY517 is a bit larger than the Mini Trekker but shares many of the features and as a member of TP you get a discount.

Photo Pro Mag are giving away a lowepro fastpack 200 with a years subscription. I'm waiting for mine to arrive. They recon you can fit in a camera (with kit) and three other lens! I'm hoping they're right!

I've just picked up the Tamrac Exp. 4 and it's a lovely bag.

Don't fall into the trap I did and buy a bag which is ok for right now and leaves no room for future expansion. I went through 3 bags when my gear increased in size :|

Orion Trekker II. You can get camera with 2 extra lenses inside the bottom padded section, plus the top half will fit sandwiches and a waterproof.

I'd second the Orion Trekker - I have one of those, and a Kata DR-467 (which can also take a laptop and more camera gear).

Can't be the Orion Trekker on price! Had mine for years after getting it free with a magazine subscription .

if it is Digital Photo Pro your talking bout it looks like the offer ended, they giving away a wedding book now.

practical photography are giving away a kata bag, no idea how big or how good it is though.

Kata bags are built like no others. I recently got a DR-467 (£70) which is one of their cheaper ones, but the build quality blows my (former £120) Lowepro Compurover AW out of the water, as well as my Lowepro Orion Trekker (though that's a £30 bag, so I can forgive that).

Edit: It's a Kata PB-46 bag £43.95 from abc cameras - see http://www.abc-digital-cameras.co.uk/shop/product.php?xProd=7950 for more details

I heard that Kata also specialize in making Kevlar bullet proof vests

 

[Paul Holtom]

The Kata website is a bit strange, they do indeed have bullit proof vests and camera bags on it.
