Carries my 503CW with winder and finder, 50/80/150 - in the center, Metz flash, a minimum of 3superia 400s and 3 trix's, Minolta IVF with spot, red filter, orange filter and polariser, blower, maglite (AA), victorinox pen knife....yup that's about it. How do I carry the stuff?? Domke has a great strap and anyway my shoulder has a quarter inch indent (same width as strap)which secures the strap safely!!

Walker" To: Tourtelot , Subject: Re: Hasselblad transport Message-ID: D. I use the "Trim Trekker" by LowePro. The body and back with one lens and winder just fits neatly into the upper compartment and two lens or one lens and a flash fit into the slide-out drawer below. It is compact and, carrying it as a backpack enables me to walk long distances comfortably. Previously, I found that shoulder strap bags were giving me backache. Of course, to shoot, I have to swing it off my back but that has never been a problem. I did try a couple of other backpacks but prefer the "top-loading / pull-out drawer" style of the Trim Trekker because there is no risk of equipment falling out when it is opened and it is quicker to get the camera out than the "side-opening" style of backpack.
