Almost always the 24-105L and then depending on what I'm shooting, I add another 1 or 2 (often the 17-40L or the 100-400L). Those three are out the most often...unless I'm doing people and then it's the 135L hands down. And if I just want a light all day walkabout it's the 50 1.4.

I assume the camera is on a strap around your neck with a lens mounted. When you need to change lenses do you have have to take the pack off, open the main compartment and make the change or is the pack carried or mounted in such a way that you can just reach your hand in somehow and grab what you need, putting back what you no longer need.

Let me make another suggestion here ... I use two Tamrac Velocity (external link)bags (7 & 9) that are more convenient, especially if you do not yet have that much gear.

The Tamrac Velocity is a sling bag that you can carry over your shoulder so it's either at your back, at your side or in front of you. For changing lenses, I just bring it to the front, so that I can easily take out what I need and put away what is no longer required. However, before changing lenses I consider whether I really need to change the lens, as this of course involves spending a bit of time.

While I consider the Velocity 7 still rather smallish (ok, smallish for a camera bag that can hold some 2.8 standard zoom with the hood mounted, that is :wink: ), it still packs my 20D, 17/3.5, 30/1.4 EX, 50/1.4 and 80-200/2.8 L (all of these lenses including their respective hoods) as well as some additional CF cards and batteries.

The Velocity 9 is rather big and got bought to cope with the increasing amount of gear.

Sometimes if I want to go out I decide on a single lens based on what I want to do, and more often than not the Sigma 30/1.4 EX wins out as my 'walk-around' lens (80-200/2.8L is usually second choice).

Best regards,
Andy
