In the bag right now i've only got my Nikon D70s w/ 18-70mm, Rocket blower, cords etc and my SB-800 .....more will fit... but haven't had the time/$ to fill it ! it will be interesting to see if the 70-200 will fit in it .... most likely ill have to get a bigger pack or a pelican case for my long glass ...

Review text:
After checking out the reviews on here and looking at it in the shop I decided this would be the perfect bag to take on an upcoming trip OS. I needed something to take the camera equipment and a laptop and associated goodies. I was very happy  to see that the 70-200 VR would fit down one side of the bag allowing a lens to be left mounted to the D200. The bag is well made and sits on your shoulders well. The addition of the waist and chest straps are great as it does tend to weigh a little bit with all of the gear in there. The zippers are easy to use and the extra snap buckles on the front to secure the camera section are good. Overall I am happy with the bag, but will update this after my trip OS next Feb.

Likes about the bag:
Everything I need for the trip fits and I still have a little room for some snacks. The straps are wide and well padded. The addition of the chest and waist straps are welcomed as they help to stabilise and distribute the weight more evenly.

Dislikes about the bag:
The waist strap is not as robust as the one on my Lowepro Slingshot 300AW. I would like the pop off bag in the top section to be a little larger to accommodate more cables and cords.
