Bst value for money I can find
By Mr. F. J. Holmes
After 25 yrs of buying just about every bag on the market this little number is the best I've come across. Not a well known brand by any means but the quality and innovative design put it at the top of the pile for me. Firstly it's very light but that lightness has not come at the expense of padding or security. There are many pockets/compartments and I can fit all my kit in at a squeeze and that kits consists of several lenses/flashes/filters and so on. It even takes my Nikon D300 with MB10 and Sigma 150/500MM attached and that's a big body and lens combination.Another massive yet simple improvement is to make the inside lining yellow. So many times I have struggled to find filters, batteries etc in bags with black or dark green linings. That innovation alone sets it apart for me.Pros, Light, sturdy, spacious, well padded, quality zips, excellent value for money if bought here on Amazon.Cons, The bottom half of the bag that has been especially shaped and strengthened does look a bit like a bum!Kit it takes with easeNikon D70Nikon D300 with MB10Panasonic LX3 compactNikon 16/85mm lensNikon 50mm lensTamron 90mm macro lensSigma 150.500 zoom lensNikon SB300 flashNikon SB29 ringflash.Filters/batteries/cardsLaptop

Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Photo Backpack
By Spooks
Good photo backpacks are hard come by! The Kata HB-207 is extremely well constructed and robust. The a harness system is similar to quality backpacking sacks, giving comfort even with heavy loads.The zips are quite stiff but easily managable with practice - there is a slight 'sticking point'on the main compartment zips where the body of the rucksack is curved . Over time this could result in zip failure, but again, manageable with care. Very good protection with plenty of padding and a versatile interior layout. There is adequate space for two DSLR's with lens fitted, or one DSLR with a long lens, eg Sigma 50-500mm with hood fitted. Plenty of storage for all the usual accessories, extra lenses, filters etc and even a light jacket. Good tripod attachment. This bag is ideal for extended field trips and heavy loads. Highly recommeded, the best photo backpack I have ever used.
