Best combination camera/laptop bag in its class
10 Nov 2008
This bag is worth every penny/yen/rupee/euro/etc. of its listed price. I'm on my third international trip (I'm in India right now in fact) and continue to love this bag. It's big, and it's not meant for weekend hiking trips, but when you need a "go" bag to carry all your camera gear, laptop gear and all the associated stuff (card reader, cables, chargers, extra batteries, lenses, filters, cleaning gear, etc.) -- this is the bag you want. It's *just* big enough to hold everything, but not so big that you can't put it under an airline seat or in an overhead bin. Even fully loaded, on a Boeing 757 or an Airbus A320/340, it will fit standing up in the overheads if the top isn't too overstuffed, which is nice.
Here's a highlight of what's in this bag right now, as I get ready to catch a plane back home tonight:
' Nikon D50 body (I didn't want to travel this far with my 'regular' more expensive body this time))
' Nikon 18-55mm lens
' Nikon 70-200mm VR lens
' Tokina 12-24mm wide-angle lens (big and heavy)
' two 77mm Hoya filters for the wide-angle (circular polarizer/UV filter)
' lens cleaning pen
' pen/paper (for note-taking about trip or photographs)
' 50 sheets of paper (receipts for cab fares, purchases, hotel bills)
' iPod 20GB classic
' Thinkpad T42 (15" display)
' 6 granola bars, 2 1-oz. packs of mixed nuts
' 2 pairs of sunglasses
' earplugs (aviation quality in a small plastic case)
' headphones (earbuds)
' 2 "tetrapacks" of orange juice
' 1 medicine bottle (antibiotics in case I get 'sick')
' passport/itinerary/parking coupon for back home
.... and that's just what I remember packing or can see from the top!!
Seriously, this is an awesome bag, especially now that airlines are cracking down on number of bags -- having a 'personal item' bag this big is fantastic. Tamrac makes another model with wheels, but I think it'd be too heavy (fully loaded, the above is probably 25 lbs). You'll want a smaller 'carry' bag for once you get onsite at your shoot (you wouldn't want to hike more than a few hundred hards with this fully loaded), but for getting all your gear in-country/to your point of respite, this is THE bag to get.

Surprisingly light, well-made
26 Dec 2008
I've used this case for a few months now (with a digital slr, two lenses, a light meter, and various other accessories packed into it). I had obsessed and agonized over what case to get (reading reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, and finally gulping hard and choosing this) and I made the right choice. For one thing, it's much lighter and more compact than I expected, especially for a case that also handles your laptop. I haven't used it for the laptop yet, but I realized in a flash of inspiration that this kind of case solves the problem of not knowing whether to hand-carry your camera equipment or your laptop on a plane, when you can only have one carry-on. Everything is protected, and there's a nice fold-down bottom panel for the laptop, which can be folded up when this compartment is not being used, thus compressing the overall size of the bag. I love the pullout thingee that holds batteries and memory cards, and the double zipper that gets "pulled" open at the top by a pullbar -- quick access. Note also that the strap takes additional (ordered separately for a fee) add-on's such as a holder for a bottle of water, filter holders, and other such things. I give it 4 stars because of two things: 1) it does not have a "piggyback" strap for attaching to a wheeling suitcase as advertised, and 2) I'm not sure it would be totally totally weatherproof in a real bad downpour -- although it's pretty darn good. If you expect to use it on a lot of hiking and outdoor activity where you're in the wild, you might want to look at one of the cases that have a waterproof cover. If you have a huge amount of equipment, you might want to look at a bigger bag. But for me, this was just the right size for a "medium" amount of camera equipment and a 15+" laptop (not widescreen).

Large very well constructed pack.
29 Oct 2010

Large very well constructed pack. On a trip this may be the only bag you can carry on your shoulder. On the other side, lots of space. As shown in the photos, things inside are piled one over the other, separated by Velcro attached spacers that you arrange at your own convenience. That means that if you want to reach something from a lower level you have to detach the spacer first.
