Heehee, I still keep giggling at the name of this thread! I just bought this Tamrac one...
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3816530065&ssPageName=ADME :B:EOAB:AU:6 I went right through B&H's website, and also Adorama, Keh, Tamrac, Lowepro, and even the Pelican website, and for its size, this one was the best value for money. Up until now, I have been using a little consumer bum bag, but thought I'd get this one for GFM (and the rest of my trip, plus, I really need one for my weddings). I didn't want anything too big, but all of the smaller Lowepro ones seem to open against your body, whereas this one actually opens away from the body which is pretty cool. Also, the people auctioning it, have more of them listed, if you are still interested. They also have the Lowepro "Offtrail" that somebody on list mentioned. It is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15201&item=3815887900 And the Orion that Andre mentioned is here - good price too: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15201&item=3815952261 I went to their website as well, and found this fantastic deal: http://www.henrys.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PageDisplay?dest=frames.jsp&; currency=USD&storeId=10001 The same thing is almost 20 bucks from B&H!! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&s ku=248148&is=REG So, I effectively got it for half price! tan.x. -----Original Message----- From: Andre Langevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 21 May 2004 9:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT : Camera Fanny Pack (GFM) I use the Lowe-Pro "Orion" model. Simple and effective fanny pack with tightening side straps. I can run with it if the straps are well tightened. Untight the straps to unpack and repack stuff. I manage to carry two small bodies (LX, M, MZ), with a short lens attached, at the pack's ends (standing vertically with the dividers adjusted close to the bottom of the bodies) and have still room in the center compartment for 1, 2 or 3 other lenses depending on their size, or 1 or 2 lenses plus a flash. I also need a soft pouch or two as only one "free" lens can be without protection against friction in the bag. If I use a lens longer than "normal" on a body, I cannot pack it as it is, I need to put a smaller lens on the body to slip it in its place. That suits me as I use mostly 20mm to 50mm optics plus one tele macro for special occasions. This year's model has an external pocket. If you don't need or like it, you can buy last year's model for $20. on eBay. Bigger PZ-1 & SF bodies are too wide to fit vertically in the pack. Andre
