I have a MiniTrekker that does well for my 35mm gear (it holds an amazing amount of equipment), but I don't think it is deep enough to take the 6x7 body with prism and lens. Also, I do find the backpack to be a bit unhandy. One of the things I was fishing for was opinions on whether other people have backpack issues.
