Rating: Summary: Testimony of pleased user. Review: Recently purchased this backpack case to ease my efforts as the pack mule for my spouse, the photographer. Just have to turn around for quick access to the bag by the photographer. Hands are always free. Never have to put it down or juggle things. Do not have to constantly worry about theft since the bag is never left unattended. That is a great relief since it has always been my responsibility to guard our Nikon system from those seeking a discount acquisiton at my expense. I would recommend this backpack to anyone. One thing lacking, however, is a sternum strap. I have added one found at a local expedition outfitter. Also added another divider taken from an old bag to serve as a shelf. -Enjoy-
Rating: Summary: Great quality, a bit small.... Review: This backpack is a very high quality product and is very compact (too compact for me). I was so pleased with the quality, however, that I returned the item and just got the next size up, the Expedition 4.
Rating: Summary: Ok - but consider getting something bigger. Review: This bag will likely hold 1 camera body, and two lenses - with a couple of other misc. If that second lense is a large zoom lense, consider purchasing something else.Also - think about different colors. I purchased this before I noticed that [someone else] was offering the identical model in black for cheaper. The backpack is comfortable to wear enough, but that front mesh pouch that is depicted holds next to nothing. The internal velcro compartments are awkward to use if the backpack is packed too tightly.

Rating: Summary: Everything I was looking for Review: This pack worked great for about a week. It handles my STsi along with a 75-300mm lens, a 28-80mm lens, a 2x tele-converter, a hot shoe flash, 8 filters, and assorted other trinkets. The one main complaint is there isn't much room for film. Also there isn't any room to grow with the pack. The pack is very small. If you are the "just bring this and thats it" type then this is YOUR pack. I on the other have bought 2 more lens (35-135 & a 1000) and another body. Not a chance of fitting this into the pack. another complaint is that since it is so small lashing a tripod to the pack is just notfeasable. All in all GREAT pack! Although I have a few complaints it is great to just keep your camera with you and your hands free. And I did order a much larger pack. So enough of my whinning!
