Question on f-stop Luka and Guru...

Anyone here around 5'-3" tall and use a f-stop Loka or Guru? How does it wear? Have a photo of you wearing the bag? I really like both of these bags but they seem a bit large for me, wish I was taller I currently use a Lowepro Mini Trekker when I need a backpack. It barely holds my gear: 1Ds MK II, 15mm Fisheye, 16-35, 28-70, 70-200 2.8 non IS and my Lee Multi Filter pouch along with other accessories like a headlamp, remote switch, Kenko extension tubes, compact flash cards... The Mini Trekker is not very comfortable on long walks. I appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks!

Your welcome there are a few here. Just search "guru".

It will fit a medium ICU also.

Medium ICU is what I was planning to get. The Loka was my first pick but the Guru is starting to grow on me. It's a little smaller too, will fit me better. I'm still hoping someone that's the same height as me has the bag and will post a photo wearing the bag.

If you search "loka" there is a long thread with a good amount of pictures in it. I can't remember all the details in the thread.

Have you looked at the pictures on F-stop Gear's Facebook page?

Went through a few posts, including one with 22 pages, no luck. Maybe I'll order a Loka and flip it if it doesn't work for me.

5'3" may be a bit short for the f-stop bags, I recall someone else saying they don't fit well because of their height. Apparently f-stop is looking into offering more options for different sizes of people though I have no idea how long if ever that will take to materialise.

GREAT! Thanks Sirrith!

Thanks so much Ian!
