What is your choice of camera backpack?
I own a Tamrac (no complaints except that it is now too small for my whopping Canon 5D, 24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 IS, and 580EX II) but I wondered if perhaps a Lowepro or some other brand might be as good or better. (Please don’t recommend smaller bags or gigantic ones, something comparable to the Tamrac Expedition 7 or 
Tripod attachabilty and accessibility are important to me as well as weatherproofing to a certain extent. Would anyone recomend the Lowepro DryZone 200?
I am planning on getting more lenses so keep that in mind (maybe 2-4 more lenses in the not so immediate future (my wallet still has scorch marks))
And I currently own the adventure 9 (it doesn’t quite fit)
Hah, just visited crumplers webpage. It is truely a site worthy of Lewis Carol.
From what I understand, the DryZone is good at protecting what’s inside, but it’s not easy to open or close because it’s so good at protecting what’s inside.
When it comes to backpacks, stick to Tamrac or Lowepro for the most part. The thing is–backpack fitting is very personal. You have to try them on to see whether it puts the weight on your hips or not.
Personally, I use a Tamrac backpack that can accomodate a laptop. You could probably use a Cyberpack 6, which is large enough for your lenses and body, as well as a laptop. the Adventure 9 would work too.
