Another bag question

[yaaan]

Apologies for yet another bag related question!

I'm after a backpack that will take my Sigma 150-500, two additional lenses and my 450d. There are plenty of bags that seem to be big enough for this but most have space for more lenses than I want to take with me and I don't want to be carrying a large bag with empty space if I don't have to.

It's also quite important that it be waterproof or have a waterproof cover and is comfortable enough to be carried around all day whilst struggling through the jungle in search of gorillas (I'm pretty certain the 150-500 will be too big for the gorillas but the alternative may be leaving it in a tent which I'd rather not do)

Thanks
Ian

gotta be an fstop pack with a large ICU (see my and other peopls "loka" reviews in the relevent forum section for example)

Get a kata 3n1 20,30 or 33 should fit it. it has backpack straps and waitbelt. The only problem might be that the back isnt stiff enough for long distance walking but then very few camera backpacks are. Another option might be a normal rucksack with a small camera case inside.

Another option might be a normal rucksack with a small camera case inside.

Like an FStop gear bag, they're proper mountaineering bags with a metal frame to support the load, with a padded camera block inside.
