It will fit but it is tight. The EOS3 with booster will stick up above the
rim of the Minitrekker. Thus when you zip it up, there is a large buldge
from the top of the camera.
I also want to put my Sigma 17-

Again, yes, but I;m not sure about the Photo Trekker. I started with a
MiniTrekker when I first got my EOS3 w/booster. I decided to get the Nature
Trekker for a better fit. There is a lot more room in the Nature Trekker.
The NT was much heavier than the MiniT, I hated carrying it. As a result
I'm back to the new style MiniT and sold the NT.
I typically place the 3 with 28-70/2.8, 17-35, 70-200/2.8 and a 550EX.
There is extra room for OSC2, extra battery magazine and some film. But
most of the film, goes in the back pocket.
I will be taking a trip soon and will squeeze in a Sigma 180mm macro and I
think I can make room for a 420EX. The magazine, film and cord will have to
go in the back pocket.
I also like the tripod carrier on the new Style MiniT much more so than on
the NT. It's down the center in the back, rather than on the side of the
NT, (although the NT carrier can be moved to the back, it is stiff and is
awkward when setting the bag with out the tripod installed).
