Though hopefully quite a tight brief for all you lovely people. It'll be a birthday pressie from the missus, so i'll need to give her a specific make, model, colour, and preferably a link to the site with the best price.
My brief...
A backpack that will hold the following as detailed below. Preferably with some additional space (maybe as outer side pockets?) to hold a couple of drinks bottles and snacks (Mars, Double Decker), and secure attachment for a tripod. Most importantly, it must have nice storage space for filters (100mm x 120mm), filter holder, adapter rings, polarizer, etc so that I can find them easily without having to thumb through each one, and so I am not just tempted to toss them back into the main body of the bag.
Equipment to hold...
Canon 5D
Canon 17-40L
Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 (will upgrade to Canon at some point)
Canon 70-300 IS (will probably upgrade this too, but not yet)
All my filter gubbins, plus the usual batteries, cards, cloths, rocketblower, etc
I would rather have something bigger than be pushed for space. Lenses are only likely to get bigger/more, and if I have somewhere to put a Berghaus PacLite Extreme that would be handy.
Ok, think that's about it.
Any suggestions?
The Tamrac Adventure backpacks look like a good idea, but I am worried the 'camera section' doesn't look too big, and that the inner flap wont be big enough for all my filter gubbins.
