I've currently got a Lowepro Offtrail 2 and I hate it. It just doesn't ride right, so I'm looking to get something else.

For those who backpack, what SLR camera bag and lens bags do you take with you? Obviously it's gotta integrate well into the shoulder harness and waist belt that's already on the backpack.

My backpack is a Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone.

Last week on an overnighter
Lowepro Rezo 120 AW on the rucksack belt. Holds a 350D (Rebel) with a Tokina 12-24. In the backpack is a Lowepro lens case holding a Tamron 18-200. The Lens case can be attached to the Rezo if necessary. Also the contents of the cases can be swaped. All contents of the rucksack are inside waterproof bag. Small items like spare batteries etc are in my "fishing jacket"When walking I normally carry the camera in my hand unless the going gets really rough and I need both hands.
The photo was taken by somebody else with my camera.

For day trips I have used a Tamrac Explorer 7, however I now have a Lowepro Rover AW II.
Hope this helps.
Richard

For backpacking I use a Lowepro Zoom I Toploader attached with clips I made to my pack harness. You need to have a strap on the bottom to stabilize it or it will bounce a lot. I use this too with my camera packs that I use for day hikes and skiing, a Lowepro Rover AW II and a Burton Zoom. It will hold my 20D with any lens up to the 24-105. Anything else would need a longer case.

If we are doing a short backpack trip in to a base camp I will take one of my camera packs stowed in my backpack and up to 4 more selected lenses, a Arc'teryx Bora 80 Backpack. If thru-hiking I will take only one, maybe 2, extra lenses.
