I have the Lowepro Mini Trekker AW (All weather) It's beatifully made and it's plenty big enough for me, I find I can cram loads of stuff into it - I'm sure it has pockets I haven't even found yet. :)

I'd be happy with the bag ;)

I have been thinking of subscribing myself, and am hoping I dont get the tripod - I like my manfrotto.

Is that the one with space in the bottom for the kit and a kind of rucksack space at the top for general studd such as butties and a coat etc.?

If it is then Stewart had one for a while and found it to small for a 300D, and two small lenses. The bag was ig enough just the space in the bottom was not.

yeah thats the one Steve, i have discovered that the 300d + sigma dont fit, so as soon as i locate a suitable alternative this bag and the Hama are out the door!

Its not bad. I find myself using my Hama instead as it will fit my d70 + sigma 70-300 + hood, whereas the Lowepro wont.

The top pocket for other stuff on the Lowepro can be useful for packed lunch etc ***.

Guess I don't have enough gear yet :whistle2: I find I can get my S7000, my D50, the Tamron, and my kit lens into the bottom of the bag, along with my beanbag pod.

The top of the bag holds my collapsible reflector kit and other bits and pieces.


Think I need to start buying more equipment! :D

i bought a Velbon Sherpa head from a shop online, i will get the link from home, for £20

the service from the ebay shop was great, paid for 48hour and got it next day. Good quality tripod with bag, sturdy too, im hoping that with the head on it will be much more stable for the canon/grip/sigma combo...
