I agree with Stan. I have had a Lowerpro Mini-Trekker for some years. It
easily has capacity for 2 bodies & 4 lenses including a 170-500. Plenty
of outside pockets too. Not quite as large as Stan's though.

I can strongly recommend Lowepro. I’ll look later to see if I can find the
model designation for mine which meets all of your criteria…
- Waist belt (which tucks away when not in use)
- Chest strap
- Optional thingie, sort of a rigid open-top pouch, that you can
attach; foot of tripod goes into the thingie, and then a built in step higher
up holds the tripod in place
- Laptop sleeve
I usually load mine with several 8-packs of SD cards, 2-3 spare batteries, one
or two chargers, 2 K-1 bodies, 15-30, 24-70, and 70-200, and maybe the 100/2.8
macro and the A-50/1.2. Or a telexteder or other gadget. I have also used it
with one K-1, one 645Z, and a couple of lenses for each. For long trips I have
a Dome shoulder bag for overflow, and then on a given day I either just use the
Dome and one extra lens, just because I don’t like working from the backpack.
But if I am going out to the meadow for a couple hour session, the backpack
goes, is placed on a plastic sheet on the ground and I work from there.
My iPod in the top-outside compartment, lens cleaning material there as well,
remote control in the separate outside pocket. When I traveled with laptop that
would be in the laptop compartment, now I use that space for file folder(s)
with travel documents, maps, etc.

I'm sorry if this message sabotaged "inbox zero" for you.
Gearing up for GFM NPW, I'm looking for a new backpack and hoping to
gain a bit more altitude than in previous years, so that means
something suitable for light hiking. My current one is an ancient
Domke with detachable shoulder straps and zero built in padding. It
is literally falling apart. I'd like something a bit more modern that
fits the following:
Two SLR bodies with primes attached. Room for a couple more lenses,
some film, and the odd accessories like filters, batteries, remote
releases, SD cards, etc. If it has a laptop sleeve, that's fine, but
it's not critical. Some way to lash a tripod to the outside would be
extra nice.
Chest and waist straps would also be nice, but these aren't a deal-killer.
Does anyone have something they like, or would recommend? Thanks!
