I have the Fastpack 250 and LOVE it. But now, with two rather large new lenses, I need to look for something else :( My question is, would the Fastpack 350 be big enough for two camera bodies, one mounted with 70-200 f2.8 IS, and the other mounted with 24-105, then my 10-22 and 50 1.4, and 580EXII?

I would prefer to stay with the Fastpack line, because it really fits how I do stuff, easy camera access, etc., but is that realistic with 2 bodies with lenses attached? I am open to other suggestions, but want to stay with a low profile backpack with 15.4" laptop accomodations :)

Thanks for any ideas!

No one has any input on this? My new big fat lens will be here in a few days and I'd like to make a backpack purchase like, now :)

I'll sell you the one that I have. Brand new, in the box. I took it out long enough to fill it, strap it on my back, and say "Heck no, this isn't for me". I put it back in the box.

A word of warning, though. It's pretty big. On my small frame it's too big, so I hope you're tall. It'll fit a ton of stuff. I easily fit all of my gear in it, and it wasn't crammed in. All of it was snug and comfortable, which is more than I can say for my back.

Will that accommodate a 15/4" laptop, too? :)

The black part on the front is a detachable pack itself, and it is padded, but it's not padded a lot. I just checked, and my 17" will fit in it. I don't know how much you plan on tossing this around, but I would say that for walking around, and as long as you don't bounce the laptop off of anythign, it would be fine. I would suggest a padded sleeve for your laptop, and then put that inside the front. That would probably work perfectly.

OK, I just bookmarked the link you sent and am checking it out. I honestly am wanting to stick with the Fastpack line, and once I get a definitive answer about the 350, I might be interested in this. Thank you for mentioning it...its not an option I ever would have seen otherwise :)

You're welcome. Figured I'd mention it. Can't hurt.
