Carrying the bigma? (1 Viewer)

Short of employing a Sherpa I am a bit stuck with how to carry the bigma attached to my D70. To do all that I want I am going for 2 bags, probably a nature trekker for carrying large amounts of kit, but I also want a holster type bag for carrying the D70 + bigma attached. The big bags going to have to be 2nd hand and I can wait a while, but the smaller bag is a bit more urgent.

So can any holster handle my setup with the sun shade in place? The one I am really pondering is the think tank digital holster 50, appears to be around £52. Would probably add the belt to ease carrying.

Any comments on the nature trekker as the larger bag to carry
D70
Bigma
Tripod
Nikon 18-70
SB600
Macro kit (lots of)
Waterproofs
Food

Does it come with the trekker daypack that attaches to the front? No mention of it on lowepros site, but some sellers say it does.

Cheers

Jon
 
Yes it does come with the daypack.
Mine will carry 350d/300d,bigma,tamron300,two other lenses,nightsight,extensions.scope,tripod,flask,sarnies,wet gear,and assorted bits and pieces.
Only trouble is I need to take weight training classes to carry the damn thing.
 
I am goint to try and avoid carrying everything at the same time, but would be handy to hve room for some bulky but lightweight accessories.

Thers £20 cashback on lowepro at the moment, gets the price of a nature trekker down to £120.
