Hi,
I am trying to follow the advice I got in this thread and putting together a compact 4x5" setup that consists of: Tachihara 4x5, Fujinon 125/5.6 CMW, Fujinon 240/9 A, 3 film holders, darkcloth, lightmeter and all the relevant bits and pieces and maybe a bottle of water.
The tripod would be carried either in hand, or on a neck strap over my shoulder (that works surprisingly well as the weight under 1.5kg)
What I need is to find a compact backpack (maybe even shoulder bag) that would just fit this gear and that would allow me to work out of it quickly. I want to have all the gear mentioned stored inside and have ready to go.
I have looked what is around and something like Lowepro Mini Trekker could do the job - also can be had used for very reasonable amount. I do realise that something like Think Tank Airport Essentials could be the ideal solution, I just do not want to pay that much as I expect to actually use it about once a month.
This back(pack) is supposed to used only for shorter outings (often around city) - no full day tracking (for those cases I would pack the gear in a 'full sized' and more comfortable trekking backpack), so the harness needs to be just OK.
I DO have the camera case and backpack from photobackpacker - but as good as this setup is, it is not what I need here.
EDIT: I actually have a solution for a shoulder bag, so let's concentrate on the backpack here, thanks
