Yikes! I just got home from Cub Scout Camp and saw how this thread has taken off. I a still don't know how to post a photo of this rig---I understand it needs to be a "file" and I'm not sure where my bride sticks her photos (she tells me it's not in a file??)
Anyway, I liked this bag so much that I bought another one just to hold extra film holders. So far this one will take 12 8x10 holders with plenty of room on top for other gear. If I could find a suitable 6"x6" tupperware container I could probably fit a couple of lenses on boards on top.
Now 12 8x10 film holders wieght quite a bit especially when stuck in a rather "overbuilt" sack. It certainly can be carried quite a distance from the car when slung over the shoulder but I would not consider it a substitute for real back pack for long distances.
What this set-up does do is gives me an insulated, padded place to keep my gear which fits easily in the passenger foot well of my pick up truck without screaming "camera gear!" In one trip I can quickly bring my entire 8x10 kit to a location---one bag over the shoulder, tripod over the other shoulder and still have a hand free. I was told that these were built to hold a 5 gallon water can (which, fully loaded are brutally heavy!)and are a fashionable "coyote tan"
Anyway, that's the latest. If I can find the time I'll see how much 5x7 stuff I can get one of these to digest.
