Sorry to jump in late here... I haven't managed to find a photo backpack that I like yet, so for now I'm using a comfortable daypack that has lots of inner pockets in which I can put film, etc. I put each of my lenses into padded neoprene cases with belt loops, and each of my bodies each has its own wrap. When I'm hiking, I simply put the lens cases on my belt so that they're easily accessible, and I have a Stabilizer Strap from OpTech that goes around my stomach and has a hole in it to hold the camera securely to my body while I'm walking. http://www.optechusa.com/security.htm Anyway, this system isn't the best, but it suits my needs. Hope I was of some help! --Amita - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
