Hi Maury, I've just purchased a Photo Trekker Classic, would appreciate if you can give some tips on the internal arrangement using the original paddings.
I've a 4x5 field camera, 2 lens, 5 film holders, loupe, exposure meter, air bulb, 2 filters & focusing cloth.
Hello,
I use a quite different solution with 2 different bags : a shoulder bag and a backpack.
The weight is divided in two loads, and thus easier to carry.
<ul>
<li>A Lowepro Photo Trekker (backpack) to carry 6 lenses, 2 rollfilm backs, right angle focusing device and several accessories.
<li>A Lowepro Stealth 600 AW to carry the Master Technika (folded, with the left grip and the multifocal viewfinder fixed on it), Pola backs (A 550 and a 545i), sheet film holders, cams, Sekonic meter...
</ul>
Otherwise, when I have to walk for a long time, I prefer to carry all the gear in a Lowepro Super Trekker, fixed on a baby stroller with three wheels.
The tripod is also fixed on the stroller.
Regards,
Jean-Louis Llech
I would just like to add that Lowepro bags are in my opinion the best camera bags I have ever used.
I have been a photographer for more than 30 years, and these bags are outstanding ones.
Of course, the weight of bags themselves is rather important, but I think it's the price to pay for the highest camera and accessories protection.
I currently use 3 bags (see my preceding answer), but also a complete Street and Field pack with the shoulder harness.
It is lightweight, and all I need is within reach.
I could not imagine to make photo without them.
My "photo-stroller" has been designed around the Lowepro Super-Trekker (the I, not II). The attachment loops on both sides allow to fix the bag on the stroller.
If I have to move without rolling the bag, (stairs...) I can carry for a short time the bag on my back, and with the tripod and the folded stroller handheld.
After a whole day of photography, I am not exhausted as I was precedently.
