Recommend a backpack

[blizzy]

I'm looking for a backpack. Similar to the Deuter Trans Alpine 30L bag. For use as a camera bag and as a normal backpack in other days. Any recommendations?

Most backpack for cameras arn't really suitable to use for daily purpse as you wouldn't want dirts and other stuffs being leave inside your bag when used in other purpose....

Hope this helps....

Lowepro Rover Light.

The bottom half functions as a Camera compartment with padding and such, the top half can store other items.

If only want to use it as a backpack only, can remove the paddings at the bottom half and the bag becomes a "normal" backpack.

Able to carry a tripod too.


Orion AW also not bad, but it does not have the waist belt with Sliplock loops to attach additional pouches or lens case, it does however have a All-Weather cover to protect against rain and dust.

Heard Rover AW is discontiuned if not it's also another good choice.
