I would like to find >something a bit smaller than my Lowepro Phototrekker AW..... this one >sounds almost right..... Hi Frank! I bought because of the need to carry the 400 Telyt. Even though the Telyt breaks into two, very few bags are deep enough to hold them, standing up. And if you have to put the two pieces horizontally, under layers of other stuff, it becomes too difficult to get at, in a hurry. >Did you ever try to fit a Hasselblad system into that bag? What did it >hold? Sorry, never owned/used a Hasselblad. Though, from what I can see, it would hold a 500C w/80mm lens quite easily, with the lens pointing up. I stack short lenses/ext tubes/etc. in the rather deep wells, using 3/4" (2cm) slices of a kids swimming "noodle" to separate them. (You can get about 90 "slices" out of a $3 noodle, and the hole in the middle makes 'em easy & fast to remove/replace.) If you ask, tomorrow, I'll take some shots of the kit, and send 'em to you privately, so you'll get the idea. >I am trying to find something that would hold a 500C body ( W/ A12 >and 80) , 2 additional lenses, 2x Mutar, and a PME45. I don't know the last two, so I cannot really comment... but if the PME is a back (even a digi-back) and the Mutar is an extender, then I'd say "yes". I have the Phototrecker, and it's way, way to big for me! The ProMag AW2 may not be for everyone, but for my kit, it's a perfect match! Besides, I *hate* large bags! This one's been a treat!
