Looking for a good solid backpack that will do a fine job of protecting my gear. Needs to be well padded, but not too large and cumbersome. I am using a Lowepro slingshot 200 now and I hate it.
My gear:
Body-
70-200 2.8 w/hood
28-70 2.8 w/hood
10-22 w/hood
Nifty 50mm
two batts & charger
8 filters
SD cards
and a few misc. things I can find room for somewhere.
I do not plan on adding much to my gear(I'm certain a flash is in my near future) but would like a bit of room to grow.
I am considering a Tamrac Expedition 4X. It seems to be really well made with durable zippers and semi-water resistant.The size seems about right, too. I looked at the 5x and it seems there's a fairly large size jump between the two.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/544648-REG/Tamrac_558401_5584_Expedition_4x_Backpack.html Does anyone have any opinions on this bag, or others that I should look at before I drop the coin? I would like to keep it under 200.00 if possible, but would spend as much as necessary(under 500.00) for the 'perfect bag'.
Thanks in advance.
