Bag question

[brad goda]

oh YAH I agree about NOT having heavy bags to "carry" I load them up and put them on a cart...
rubbermaid or magliner... but for going long distance accessible only on foot yes I have to agree with back packs...
I use either photo type back packs or have maxpedition packs with drop in dividers...
for active working its belts with shoulder harness to take weight off hips.. I hate it but its only way... when job gets longer... I hire assistant as lens "mule"... (sorry for description) but this keeps me light and can work without fatigue... < or less fatigue.. LOL

I've loaded the Flipside 400 AW with a gripped body, 430EX II, and either one big white zoom (70-200/2.8L IS II or 100-400L) and four black lenses (e.g. 24-105L, 16-35L II, TS-E 24L II, 100L Macro, 135L, etc.), or two big white zooms and three black lenses.

With room to spare, probably.

Maybe enough for a CF card or two...

Tried the Lowepro tool to estimate which bag I need. It told me I should get the Flipside 500 AW. Hmm...

I bought the Flipside 400 about six months ago based on your recommendation, I think it's a great solution especially since the gear is not accessible while you're wearing it, this is valuable where I live.

I have also a couple of Crumpler bags that I like alot. Then a couple of more Lowepro bags that I mainly use for storage at home. I have yet to match my wife in terms of number of bags though, which is a good argument whenever I bring home a new bag.
