Review #1

Bag contains:
Nikon D2h
Nikon 70-200mm VR f/2.8
Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8
Nikon 12-24mm f/4
Nikon 70-180mm
85mm f/1.4, Nikon 1.7x TC E-II
extra battery, image tank and cords, grad filters, 2 Cokin P holders, a couple of solid
filters (cirular polarizer and 3 stop neutral density), plamp with extension. And I could fit more in there. Things like the filters and
batteries could go in the pockets in the flap to make more room for larger items like lenses.Notes:

The tripod in all photos is a Gitzo 1227 with Markins M10 head.

Expedition 5,7,8 size comparisons:

Notes:
1) As the bags get larger they also get deeper, so it's possible to orient short lenses in either direction, or put something additional on top of them
(you can use some of the extra dividers if necessary).


2) As the bags get larger you may be excited because you can carry more, but remember that all those lenses, batteries, image tanks, etc. add up to extra
weight.


3) Don't carry the bag low on your back. It may seem more comfortable at first but will be more tiring in the long run. The lumbar support is quite
helpful, at least for those of us who aren't 20 anymore. Cinch the backpack relatively tightly to your body. Not so tight that it resticts you or makes
you uncomfortable, but not so loose that it moves around.

Additional Info

  • Description: The Expedition 8 is Tamrac’s largest backpack for carrying the most extensive collection of photo equipment. Dual "wing" pockets with water-resistant zippers organize and provide quick access to important accessories without disturbing your other gear. These "wing" pockets also feature Tamrac's patented Memory & Battery Management System™ that uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. A tripod is cradled (centered and balanced) securely between these pockets with Tamrac's QuickClip™ tripod attachment system while the lower plastic-reinforced Tripod Foot Pocket holds two tripod legs secure. A large front pocket with a water-resistant zipper holds a light jacket or extra gear. The main compartment is completely foam padded with numerous adjustable, foam-padded dividers to protect multiple pro-size digital or film SLRs, a full range of lenses, and flashes. A camera with a long zoom lens attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers that are internally reinforced with rigid plastic. Restraint straps hold the lens firmly in place. Three Windowpane-Mesh™ pockets inside the front flap visibly organize filters, film and other accessories. A plastic, foam-padded platform in bottom provides shock protection while a LockDown™ rain flap protects the zipper from the elements. The state-of-the-art harness system features Dual-Density Comfort Pads that provide maximum carrying comfort while Air Flow Channels help keep you cool and dry during extended use. The pack is also equipped with a BioCurve™ dual-pivoting waist belt to provide a wide range of adjustment. Cinch straps on the shoulder harness and waist belt, and an expandable sternum strap allow finer adjustments for maximum comfort. The harness also features "D" rings that accept Tamrac's optional backpack camera strap (Model N-11). Strap Accessory System™ (S.A.S.™) and Modular Accessory System™ (M.A.S.™) attachment slots on the pack provide a convenient place to carry Tamrac's optional M.A.S.™ and S.A.S.™ products (shown on right). Four SpiderTabs™ provide additional attachment points for expedition equipment or extra clothing.
