[Jon Ruyle]

Thanks for your detailed and informative post, Richard.

To add to the growing list of backpacks, here are some others I've come across.


ClikElite


Naneu


F-Stop


Unfortunately I have no experience to offer with any of the above.


Personally my search for a general purpose backpack (with an emphasis on the outdoors) has led me to pre-order the as yet unreleased F-Stop Loka. My number one criteria and the reason I dismissed a number of the more common camera backpacks was the need for a good amount of storage space for equipment other than camera gear (wet weather gear, warm clothing etc.).

Thanks for your detailed and informative post, Richard.

Thanks Jon, My Pleasure!


By the way, here are some Kata-Bag Videos for the HB-207 and HB-205, as well as the smaller R-Series if anyone is interested:


If you view a few of the HB-Family Videos, then you should be able to better appreciate the harness system, the thick surrounding outer-shell armor (TST Protection), the plush interior and bottom pillow, as well as the hardened exterior top & bottom.

Check them out at your leisure!

Thanks everyone for your replies. They have been very helpful andare exactly what I wanted. So, I'll be spending the next few days looking at the line-ups of Kata, Think Tank and F-stop.


Rich, thanks for taking the time for the detailed account of all the bags you've tested and the video link. It was definitely very helpful.


King...nice picture. I am going to take the next little while to learn more about my 7d and 15-85 lens. But even in taking a few pictures around the house I know I will want a faster lens.


Thanks all.
