ya ya, exactly what i want to ask... ;p

darkness possible to post a pic inside the bag? it looks like there r 2 levels from the outlook... :dunno:

realised I have a quote. should be around $65. I haven't seen it myself but from the description, it may not have space for a big flash+big teleconverter though. The top compartment would come in handy though for other stuff

darkness may i know how much u bought the orion trekker?

and... is CP open tomorrow? from what time to what time?

I bought it for $65, as mpenza mentioned. Guess it's a little on the high side (my original budget was $50), but I guess you get what you pay for, a full-fledged haversack.

I must say that it will not be suitable for SLR users, becoz don't think you can squeeze in a lot of lenses there. For digital guys should be fine. Flash and large TC should not be a problem.

I'll try to post a pic.

Ok, these aren't award-winning pictures (they are really OOF! The lighting in my room is very bad. See? It's a S602 low light focusing issue...), but I'm really quite tired and just want to take this and koonz liaoz...

This should fit a flash and a teleconverter. Should've gotten this instead of the microtrekker 200....

today went to CP, go thru almost all the bag, found that waist style is really big, dun like them... ends up selected same as darkness... :embrass:

here is my bag...

 

[darkness]

I'm sure I can understand how you felt when you were trying to find the right bag... I went there 3 times!! And every time I went I couldn't make up my mind...

Eh, I'm starting to feel stupid, but I realise that the way you put the S602 inside seems the best... to think I tried to squeeze it in with the base flat and the lens pointing the same direction as you did... :embrass:

just bought huh? guess we 3 can't put our bag together liao... :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

 

[darkness]

Aiyah, no problem wat, just open the contents and see loh!!

after buying then realised it's a bit squeezy could fit the camera, external flash with diffuser and a B300 but no space for the filters (but could keep it above) and wide-angle lens.

that means u got too many accessories liao, should pass to me to fill up my space.... :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

Actually I think you can try to fit in 1 flash, 1 camera, 2 lenses (TC and WC) and your filters if you squeeze a little. Something like this maybe:

CENTRE:
Camera (of coz!!)

LEFT:
Divide into 2 compartment, 1 big and 1 small, the big one put flash and the small one put filters.

RIGHT:
Divide into 2 compartments equally, put the TC and WC into each.

For the bounce card (is that the diffuser you are talking abt?), you can put into the flat space *behind* the bunion, so you don't take up any space in the bunion.

my flash is a bit too big and the diffuser is the omnibounce.... tele and wide-angle also much bigger than Fuji's ;p a bit hard to squeeze all in. guess I'll have to rely on the micro trekker 200 when I need to carry more stuff.
