Hello,

I am just thinking to buy a backpack for my D70 and several other lenses:
AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4.0 AT-X 124AF Pro DX
Tokina AF 100mm f/2.8 AT-X Macro DX

Any wisdom? Thanks

Price range: 50-100$.

they will all fit in a lowepro minitrekker AW very nicely...with room for flashes and tons more to spare.

Try //www.crumplerbags.com

They have some pretty decent stuff and they don't really look like other photo bags/backpacks.

You can't get all different sizes and they tell/show you how much you can fit in each.

The crumplers are pretty good, my brothers got one he keeps his 10D, grip, 70-40L, Sigma 18-??, 550EX, and laptop in there nicely.

The only annoance is that like most cases it cant keep the 10D with the grip attached. At least not with the lense as well.

I have a lowepro microtracker and it works great. I usually carry: body, 70-200mm, 105mm Macro, 18-70mm, and flash.

Thanks for your quick reply.

A colleague bought this backpack. It looks pretty robust. Is it good enough?

I just bought the Tamrac Expedition 3 for my Nikon D50. I love it

Anyone have experience with the Tamrac Expedition 5? I'm thinking of getting that one soon.

Is it all weather like the minitrekker AW? That's what sold me.

I have a LowePro Micro Trekker 200 that I love. It's nice and compact, so it doesn't feel like a frame pack or something, but it holds a ton of stuff. I've fit 2 bodies, 3 lenses (1 a fairly large telephoto), a case full of filters and a bunch of other stuff in there at once. You could definately put 4 lenses in. It's got a lot of nice features like leather flaps that keep the internal zippers from jingling against your gear and lash straps for a tripod or whatever you might like to attach to the outside. I've always really liked LowePro bags. This is my second. The other was a smaller shoulder bag for my old point and shoot (non-compact). That thing went through hell without a scratch (on it or the camera inside).

I use this too. It fits D70+Lens, extra lens, flash. Cards, filters and junk.
