In the front pockets i have my picture databank, the cables for the computer and various other things. I just opened the backpack and throwed the things in it but so far im quite satisfied. Notice though that the crumpler website tells you that it will hold 2 camera bodies, a 15'' laptop and up to 5 lenses. I think that's quite misleading. I could go with the larger "Brians hottub" but I heard that's you can't carry it with you as hand luggage when flying so I'll do with this one instead. Only item that I'm missing is an external flash and there's plenty of room for it in the outer pockets. Feel free to ask questions if you like. Inspired by a recent thread I might mention that I use the signature to tell others what gear I own - enabling people of this forum to do a thorough research before buying the next expensive piece of equipment - not to flash my belongings and thereby obtain some kind of kick out of it

In the bag

Canon EOS 20D with Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 SP AF Macro XR Di LD-IF attached. Big thing to the left is an Sigma Zoom Telephoto 100-300mm f/4 EX DG IF HSM. To the right is a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 and above the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. In the middle there's a blower, battery charger, lens shade for the Tokina and two filters. In the top i have cleaning accessories and various cords. It's a snug fit but I might rearrange it later. Notice there's no room left for a flash unless you remove the small cable and cleaning pouch in the top. canon 20d

For 90% of my hikes and shoots, I take a smaller bag (Crumpler Shrinkle). Much easier on the shoulders and enthusiasm. This camera bag almost always carries the 1ds mk2 and Canon 24-70/2.8. Depending on the work, I'll pack a either small wide angle prime, like the Leica 19mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R, or the zoom Leica Vario-Elmar 21-35 mm f/3.5-4 ASPH. Telephoto work is handled by either the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 USM IS or the Leica 180mm f/2 APO-Summicron-R. I'll usually throw in either Canon's excellent 1.4x teleconvertor II or the Leica 2X APO converter for the 180 so I can get a bit more reach.

The shrinkle is my most commonly used bag. although i don't always carry the bigma in this bag, you can get an idea of how much room there is. also, the body is on the bottom of the bag, so it's more comfortable to carry that some bags. this bag does not have a belt strap, so be prepared to lug the weight of your equipment on your shoulders. with the 1 series body, you cannot carry the laptop inside the bag (the laptop sleeve is removable - velcro) there are 3 pockets on the outside of the bag that hold loads of stuff

In the bag

Canon EOS 1D mk II body with Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG APO HSM lens, Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Sigma Fisheye 15mm f2.8 , Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM Tripod, Sigma EF-500 DG Super Flash Blower, CF cards, Batteries, etc canon 1d mk ii
