I've got the Expedition 7 and I'm very happy with it. It swallows my 70-200 2.8 with plenty of room to spare.

I've recently gone for a standard hiking back (Osprey Atmos 35) with a good harness system and the camera block bag inside (taken from my Dakine). So far its working a treat.

I have the Osprey Atmos 65L...they are great packs. What's the "camera block bag" that you refer to?

Its one of these - http://www.dakine.com …packs/photo/cam​era-block/ (external link)

My block came as the internals for the Dakine Sequence but by the looks of things you can buy the blocks separately. The Atmos 35L can also take the Gitzo 1227 inside without the block but with the camera and lenses in their own pouches. I'll need to check if I put fit the pod and block at the same time.

Hey, thanks. That was fast :D

If you like Lowepro, also look into the Photo Trekker bag. Very similar to the Pro Trekker but a bit smaller and it can fit all that gears. Very comfy shoulder pads and waist traps. In fact all Lowepro Trekker Series share the same/similar shoulder harness and they are really great.

Here's a pic of my Nature trekker with the 300 2.8. The Photo trekker is a bigger.
