Camera backpack for holiday (1 body, 2 lenses) and space for day stuff

[futureal33]

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good backpack for minimal camera equipment, and spare for other "stuff" (water, wallet, maps, travel-guide book, souvenirs etc)

Ideally wanting to fit a 6D body + 35mm lens in, and a second lens such as a 50mm or 85mm prime. No flashes, extra lenses etc. Pretty basic requirements

Ive been looking at the Crumpler Light Delight Foldable backpack, which looks great! Just wondering if there's any others I should know about?

I use a Kata dr 467 also fits a laptop.

This is what you need, fantastic value at the moment and you can fit what you described into it (plus water bottle on the outside) with space for other stuff and a laptop.

Sure wex have a 10% off their bags just now too through a discount code [emoji106]

Also have a look at camera bag inserts. There is a variety of sizes and they can be put into an ordinary rucksack of your choice. As you say you don't have a lot of camera gear these might be useful for you.

Excellent backpack........ and made even more enticing if you buy from WEX with the 59p saving on an OpTech Rainsleeve

Kata were bought out last year. End of line sales only I'm afraid.

Even most of the 'small' camera backpacks were overkill for what I wanted as they still tend to be really bulky with lots of pockets and snazzy bits so I bought one of these: http://store.lowepro.com/passport-backpack

It is ideal for me, basically just a small rucksack with a removable padded bit that holds a camera and spare lens.

Thanks for that link mate, that looks more like what I had in mind!

that Kata bag looks really nice, shame it only fits one body.

Hi,
I got a lowepro photo hatchback 16l. It's brilliant, very comfy to wear the camera bit fits my 5dii with 24-105 attached and the 50mm. Loads of room for stuff in the top. My iPad slots in the front pocket and you can get drinks bottles in the side holders. It even has a waterproof cover.
I have a couple of crumplers and a large kata bag but they never get used now.

I use an F Stop small shallow ICU for my 6D 16-35 & another lens. Then stick it in whichever of my rucsacs I want to use depending on if it's a jaywalk or an overnighter.

Have a look at Kriega, it's mostly for motorcyclists, but easily the best I've worn, strap system makes the rucksack disappear!

What about one of these? Don't look much like a camera bag and plenty of room inside.
