Hoi Olaf,

wat betreft een prettige vervoersoptie voor je spullen: mijn vrouw en 
ik zijn beide heel tevreden met een 'Orion Trekker' rugzak van 
LowePro.

Bij FotoKlein in Rotterdam op dit moment f 99,- ex BTW.

Je komt een eind met de body en lenzen die je noemde bij optie 1, 
de films, assesoores en evt. de flitser kunnen in het rugzakgedeelte 
(bij je lunchtrommel en melk thermosfles). Ik kan verder hier wel 
beschrijven hoe het verder werkt maar in de winkel is het sneller te 
zien.

Verder heb ik zelf nog een Orion AW, daar kan nog wat meer in, en 
hij is wat hoger (past de 65-200 misschien nog beter in), en heeft 
de rugzak als optie, je klikt die er als het ware bovenop (normaal 
ziet ie in opgevouwen toestand voor op de cameratas). Nadeel: hij 
is 2,5x duurder. Ik weet niet of ik hem nu nogmaals zou kopen 
(nadien kwam die trekker pas op de markt).

Oh ja, en het dievengilde weet heeeeeel goed waar LowePro vrij 
populair mee is, ben ik bang.

Succes met je keuze.

Groetjes,

Frank.

> Option 3: Same as option 2, plus: 300/4.5, OM-40.
> Option 4: Same as option 3, plus space for gear not yet acquired, like e.g.
