Sorry, I know there have been a few of these threads recently but none have really matched my situation.

I'm looking for a new bag to house the following gear:
Nikon D200
Nikon F5
Nikon 300mm f/4
Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR
Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8
Nikon 1.7x teleconverter
And the usual extras like filters, film (old school :D), memory cards plus an ipod.
I'm also looking to add a Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4 and possibly a wider prime too.

I currently own the Orion Trekker II - link - but it's fairly small and only holds about half my gear.

I've got my eye on the Crumpler Pyjama Pride - link - which seems a good deal for £70. I'm not so keen on the colour and do want something that looks good but the other colours are £50 more.

Are there any other alternatives for a discreet camera backpack that can take quite a lot of gear?

£70 is about my limit I think.
 
Depends what you mean by discreet. I have the Tamrac Expedition 8 and it holds everything in my sig plus loads of ancilliaries. Extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods 8 hours plus. Not cheap though
 
I forgot to say, ideally I don't want to spend much beyond £70 so the Expedition 8 is a little expensive.
 
I have a Magnum AW going spare if you want it. £70.00 + postage. I also have the harness that turns it into a backpack that is very comfortable. £15.00. Mint condition. Not being used as I have outgrown it and use a Lowepro Naturetreker.

Chris, thanks for the offer but I'll turn it down as im leaning more towards the crumpler at the moment.

The Primus won't fit the gear that triggerhappy has listed. The girlfriend has one and just about gets a D50 with a couple of small lenses in. Decent bag though (y)

We have just got a Tamrac expedition 7 S/H from T4 cameras for £30. I have packed it ready for a trip to Northumberland next week but it's really comfy and deep.

Would defo fit all your gear - don't know how much they are new?.
