In it would fit one body, and 4 lenses >(not included converters) and a flash. What are you thoughts?? Weight be damned, hike with the biggest, fastest, macro-est lenses you've= got! Or that's how it seems I hike. My kit is either SL or R4sP with 35= Summicron, 60 Macro w/macro adapter, 90 Summicron w/Elpro, and the 400 Telyt with its extension tube. I'm not much of a flash guy so my good ol= ' Vivitar 283 sits at home most of the time. I've found that most of the time I wish I had another 1 or two stops of light so the faster (heavier)= lenses get most use. Since you have TTL flash capability in your R-E you might consider replacing the 283 with a unit that can take advantage of this feature. = Macro flash is LOTS easier with TTL flash control. - -Doug
