I have a very old LowePro half moon pack that will hold one SLR and two lenses or an M and three or four lenses. When I am somewhere in the Appalachians then that is what I carry to gain access to a camera when I want to fall behind the group while I admire a vista or some mushroom. The one I use is not sold anymore, but a visit to any well stocked store will reveal two or three units from Tamrac, Lowepro, or some other vender that will fit a body and lens or two. The name doesn't spring to mind but there is an Australian company selling small cases for the bike courier group that are also well designed for active people.

That is exactly what i am doing today, and that always ends up with no pictures taken during walking. But only at campsite. I have also tried with one camera on the neck all the time, but that is irritating in the long run, so i just wondered if there were any nifty solutions out there. It seems that all photobackpacks are made for daytrippers and not for hikers like me. /HD - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
