I am looking to purchase a decent rucksack that will carry a digital SLR (with battery grip), 50-500 mm zoom lens, 10-24 mm wide angle lens, and 55-300 lens. It would be great if the sack could take a waterproof jacket, flask and sandwiches etc. There needs to be an attachment to the side of the sack so that I can carry a tripod.

I'm doing my research at the moment and if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know.

Thanks

LowePro is the way to go http://www.lowepro.com/intl

They do keep on changing their range about so model names change about making specific recomendations harder! Why companies do that?

Lowepro Rover Pro 45L Backpack

Just had delivery of the new Lowepro Rover Pro 45L Backpack. As you would expect from this designer and maker of backpacks for the outdoors which can take photography gear and extra outdoor gear/equipment it is extremely well made. For a while now I've looked for a sack like this and it's great to see this one now available. It is also very comfortable and just what I need for the hills and moors where I often find myself walking and birding.

Check out F-Stop bags, I love my Tilopa BC and various ICUs; expensive but worth every penny.

I bought a Lowepro Mini Trekker when I got my Canon 400mm lens and despite letting the latter go, I still have the bag. It is a superb solution with adjustable compartments and good padding for plane travel as hand luggage. Do not know if they still make them but someone should be selling them somewhere.

Regards,
Andrew.

I have used with great pleasure the Kata 467 backpack on many outdoor travels.
