Yep, you've got what I am looking for. I wish this was sold in the US, so that I can see it in person in a store, or at least order from Amazon and return in case I didn't like it. That's why I am curious if anybody has seen similar designs from other brands. Igor Sat Apr 28 15:30:43 EDT

I'm a bit skeptical of these sorts of things.  When I was doing a lot of work travel I got a convertible travel bag, that could be worn like a backpack, but could also be carried like a suitcase. It wasn't really good at either, though it made a better backpack than suitcase. The design of

Maybe. But I look at it as using the right tool for the right job. I have different bags for different purposes: 1. Local travel (by car), with lots of options (2 bodies, many lenses). 2. Air-travel (1 body with 2 zooms and 2-4 primes). and some variations of those... E.g. I had different bags
