Well, i'm about to order one of the above back packs.

My gear consists of:

20D
10D
35 1.4
50 1.4
85 1.8
135 2.0

Cf cards and the like

I go with the logic that with bags, you should get one bigger then you think you'll need. But is a "Brians hot tub" just over kill for my gear.

I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

I bought the Shrinkle ( a BIG bag:shock: ) for my 20D, 17-40L, 70-200 F4L, EF-S 60mm, 580EX and other bits'n'bobs. It's an incredibly well made bag and extremely safety/security conscious. However, I ended up flogging it again 'cos it was so difficult to fit everything in to it - there's just so much padding. I know that people love them, but this was a bit too much for me. I find it easier to fit all my stuff into the Lowepro Mini Trekker 200AW. I'm still considering one of the Crumpler shoulder bags (maybe the Stunner) as a walkaround for the my 20D and a couple of lenses.

Cheers pal.

Brian's hot tub is bigger then the shrinkle so that might do me better, going off what you've just said. I've got a low pro Nova 2 shoulder bag,the thing is ,it screams "camera inside" which i don't like when i'm out and about in town, pretty late sometimes to. So i'm after replacing it with a crumpler shoulder bag to.

the schrinkle is my main backpack when i travel. i generally carry my 1dmk2 with either 24-70L or bigma attached with 135L and 2 other lenses + extension tubes and teleconv. inside. on the other side i usually carry my flash and batteries, but i have carried my 10d body as well. note that this bag does not have a waist strap so carrying lots of kit for a long time can tiring if you're not used to it. as you can see in the photo below, you could easily carry your 20d with 135L attached and the 85, 35L and 50 1.4 in the pouch and 10d body.

i should also point out that it's my primary travel backpack which i take on planes (i travel generally every week). it's not necessarily the one i use if i'm driving around or whatever. also if i'm travelling and i need more kit, then i use one of my lowepro rolling bags. the schrinkle works great for me but YMMV.

If you look on here http://www.cambags.com (external link) you`ll find both those bags listed, one being blackviolets shrinkle and the other brians hot tub in the Canon 10d area.

might be of help
