Frits:
I just went throught this same problem in reverse. I was looking for a relatively
inconspicuous bag to hold my ZX-5n with battery pack and three zooms: Vivitar 19-35,
Pentax 28-80, and a Pentax 80-320. I went to look at the Tamrac 705 but came home
with the 5405.
I've made two trips since I've bought the bag and it works. I can carry my camera
gear, Palm and cell phone easily. I have room to add a 50mm - soon! I'm considering
purchasing a spare body (ZX-M) which I could probably carry without a lens or battery
pack attached with some careful rearranging.
My advice: go to a good dealer and bring your camera body(s) and longest lens. I
would have bought the 705 sight unseen and would have been sad to learn that the ZX-5n
with the battery pack didn't fit!
Good luck!
Ed
