[QUOTE="editorial_use_only, post: 656508, member: 40895"] For whatever it's worth: - The problem I had with larger bags was that they were uncomfortable to hike with. Sure, they held all the gear. And that made them too heavy. An issue for me especially was trying to pack the 200-400 which was bigger than the 200-500. But with two D3 bodies the 70-200 the 200-500 a flash spare batteries water bottle energy bar filters etc etc etc, the bag was just too heavy. What I did was sling one or both bodies, out of the bag. Then I could take a smaller bag. Won't work for rough weather, but make sure that the weight of everything you want to pack will be alright for you and your photo adventure is just my point. Two or three hours/days into a hike/trip is NOT the moment when you want to discover your pack is way too heavy and uncomfortable. - The larger bag I settled on was the Ape Case 400. This one [url]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/829131-REG/Ape_Case_ACPRO4000_ACPRO4000_Digital_SLR_and.html[/url] it also has a sleeve for a laptop and I love that it's a roller when I want that, a backpack when I want that. It's surprisingly comfortable as a backpack, but I wouldn't hike any significant distance with it. It takes my D3s and 200-500. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
