Different solutions work for different people, and even seemingly very small changes in the configuration of a bag can make a ridiculously important difference for me. The first time I went out with the 7Mill, I had it configured very close to the way they had it setup when I got it and I found myself nearly dropping gear all morning. Moving two dividers and relocating were my "ancillary junk" was, putting the camera on top where I need it, all of a sudden took me from bag hell to bag heaven.
I've had four sling type bags and two backpacks. One of those backpacks ... the Lowepro CompuTrekker AW ... has been very good for transporting large amounts of gear through airports and to sites, but I find it impossible to work with in the field and carry a small shooting bag when I use it. The rest I've either sold or plan to sell shortly, and I'm going to sell the CompuTrekker too as it's a lot larger and bulkier than I need/want now. This one is useful enough and handy enough to carry-on everything but my laptop for the next trip to Europe or NY, and I'll use a slim laptop-only bag to handle that, pitch the rest of the junk in my rollaway and check it. :-) G On Apr 22, 2007, at 9:55 AM, Boris Liberman wrote: > Godfrey, I must say I am surprised.
