Camera Backpack to recommend?

Do note that the Photo Trekker when empty is about 3kg already (due to the well-designed harness). I had it for 1 day for my photography stuff but decided against it as I looked like my pet terrapin. The Nature Trekker is not much bigger than the Mini Trekker but adds quite a bit more in terms of price and weight.

Another 2 brands that would be worth looking at are Tamrac and Tenba...the former has been known as the rival of Lowepro and many feel that its quality surpasses the latter.

I like the Tenba range, but the price is a bit too rich for my blood!

Base on the specification, it may exceed some airline carry on dimension, but I think they'll not stop you.

By the way, I find the specification in the lowepro website is excluded the padding, so it'll smaller with padding...

Anyway, I'm looking for one that lower than S$200... Just wonder how much does a photo trekker classic cost??

Have a nice day.

Hi,

Do they sell camera lenses kind of bag that allows the slot size to vary? Is there one that can fit 2x2 inch eyepieces and 4x1.25 inch eyepieces (total of 6 variable lens slots) plus space for filters etc? What price range? Thanks.

Rlow,

How much did you pay for that? What is the price range for such camera lens bag? Thanks.
