750- Photographer's Daypack Summary: I got this at a pawn shop with a Canon FTb, the camera manual, 50mm 1.4, 135mm 2.8, 100-300mm zoom f4-5.6, vivitar 273(?) flash, and several Conkin filters for $150. I figure it's a pretty good deal since B&H sells the same bag for $100. The main compartment can hold my Nikon F2 with 50mm lens and everything listed above except the filters. They are in their own padded box and sit in the upper, unpadded compartment. This is a great case. I'm really pleased, but have yet to put it through much use. Strengths: Roomy. Great way to carry a moderate amount of gear. Has sternum strap, hip/waist strap, and padded back. Can hide the hip strap inside a slit. The fabric looks very durable--a lot like my Dana Designs backpack (D2 cloth). The bottom part is padded and comes with dividers that attach to the inside of the case with velcro and can be rearranged. The upper part of the case isn't padded. Weaknesses: The hip/waist strap isn't padded. That would have made it even easier to carry heavy loads.
It would be nice if the bottom compartment were a smidge taller. A 100-300 mm zoom is a smidge too tall but still fits and I could probably organize the case better.
I'd also like to see external lash points (like a backpack) for a light tripod or monopod. Similar Products Used: After using my point-and-shoot for 10 years, I just made the jump to SLR, so this is my first case that's more than Customer Service: Not needed yet.
