How do you guys/gals who have one, like your Lowepro Microtrekker 100 (or similar) and how do you have it set up? I just got mine Friday and can't believe I waited this long to get a micro size backpack. Its perfect! I can fit my 10D w/Grip, and lenses covering 17mm to 200mm, a flash, extra battery and rocket blower and the pack still fits between the bucket seats! :) I used all three lenses today in a matter of 15 minutes. Prior to the pack, on a routine day like this one, I would have chosen one lens and set the camera in the passenger seat. ...also curious how others have their interiors set up.

thanks,
daniel

I love mine, too. Got it recently on eBay. I have the body/24-85 lens at the top, 580ex flash on right side, 75-300 lens on the left side, and filters, hoods, extra battery, etc. at bottom center under camera. Remote in one of the pockets. Got rid of a bigger classic style Lowepro bag. Like this set up much better.

Yes, I also have the Lowepro compact AW with most of my gear in it that I will keep, mostly to store all the goods in, but then also for bigger jobs like weddings...but for daily personal use I find that I end up choosing one lens to take or worse...not taking my camera at all and relying on my wife's S1 IS. The microtrekker seems to be the answer for me at the moment.

I have my body at the top with either the 17mm or the 28-75 attached and the one not attached directly below it. Then I have the 70-200 on the left side and the 420EX on the right side with my CF card case on the right side also.... rocket blower and batteries in the front pouch... I also stick my lens cap in the front mesh while shooting.

For travelling light the PhotoRunner is also excellent. I tend to alternate between it and a MiniTrecker AW depending on the aim of the trip. If I want to go easy I'll take the photorunner with my 24 and 85 in it. No need for much else with those two lenses.

I like the Micro Trekker's so much that I bought the 100 and the 200. The 100 can hold my 20D+grip w/ the Tamron 28-75mm, 18-55mm kit lens and 580EX flash, and the 200 can fit those along with my 300mm f/4L and 50 f/1.8.
