So Cal So Cal

Excellent! That happens to be one of the ones I am looking at. Good to know it's held up nicely after years of abuse.

PS: I wouldn't mind finding one that can strap a tripod...

I believe you can strap on a tripod... There are hook straps at the bottom of the backpack... I just removed them since I carry my tripod around...

Yeah. I can see the benefit of a tripod strap, for longer hikes, where I don't need my tripod while I'm hiking, but only after I arrive at my destination, for example.

I've been using the Tamrac Expedition series for a number of years now(tripod mounts on the back) with several modular pouches(that I also mount on a belt). Started with the 6x which I feel is a good size for travel(still large enough to bring a fair bit of kit but not too huge) but it was only big enough for a 14" laptop so I stepped up to the 7x when I got a 15.4" laptop. The 7x ended up being about 1" to short to store 1 body + 70-200 and 2nd body with standard zoom so I stepped up to the 8x. I sort of wish I still had the 6x now since the 7x and 8x are so close in size, but once I get around to selling the 7x I'll either get a 4/5x or one of the dual storage(one section for body/lenses and another for personal stuff like jacket/snacks) series if I stay with Tamrac that would be the Adventure series but I'm kind of liking the Evolution series for it's sling strap and quick access.

#1 or #2?

nice shot Butch, but notice you have some dots on the upper left corner, sensor issues or dirty filters?

Dave is correct.. It's my secret watermark... Hehehe... But I honestly don't know... It's not a dirty sensor ('cause I took those out in post)... And I know I cleaned my filters before using them... Hmmm...

It's lens flare from sunlight directly hitting the filter.

^ I'll post one soon, Dean... The second waterfall shot get's my vote... With regards to the previous two you posted of the fountain, I prefer #1... #2 was slightly too warm for me...
