I use the Lowe Pro and it is realy great. Two trips to Europe, several trips in the US, countless hours on surveillance jobs, and everything is always just right.

Hi Folks,

     I have the following requirements for a travel photography bag:

* Allow easy access to 2 OM bodies with lenses attached--so I can open and grab either at a moments notice, but each camera will
              have it's own padded cell. I plan to leave the lens shades
attached.

* Only 4 OM lenses to go--21F3.5 (rare use), 28F2.0, 50F1.2 and 100F2.0. 2 of these to be mounted on the above at all times.

* Plus separate space for film, books (novel + notepad), outside
               1 liter water bottle, passport pocket, PLUS a FUJI 69 MF
camera--
to be brought along for any truly magnificent vistas. Consider
               the last to be optional.

        *     NOT look EXACTLY like a camera bag--preferably a backpack!

        *     Will be packing carbon fiber tripod/ball head separately in
               black bogen pack or a small portable--dependling.

* May or may not be wearing a photographers vest--plan to get the
               Bob Krist LLBEAN one.

Just starting to look. Have the Lowepro S&F Rover and Orion Trekker on order.
Plan to also try the new LLBEAN camera bag designed for travel photographer
Bob Krist. What do the National Geo guys use--the ones who use "simple" 3-4
lens systems? Thanks for any suggestions or comments.

Alex
