I have the same combination, and second your
recommendation.
In the Treker I can comfortably manage:
- 2 bodies
- T32 (or 35-105 depending on locale)
- 50/3.5 & 24/2.8 (stacked)
- 100/2.8
- 180/2.8
- plus the usual accessories in the zippered
compartments (i.e. filters, etc.)
Leaving the upper section free for either food, a
camcorder, etc.
I never thought of adding the tripod straps. Sounds
like a good idea, but I'll need to get a lighter
tripod first.
The mini will accommodate a body and either three
lenses, or two and a flash.
