I manage to shove the following equipment into the thing: 2 Rollei 6006 medium format cameras with film magazines 50 mm f4 150 mm f4 2 film inserts in cases Metz 40 MZ2 electronic flash Rollei 35 Classic or a Leica R4 with 35-70 f3.5 Polaroid Spectra film, batteries, etc. I'm much, much happier with the backpack than with lugging all that weight on one shoulder in the Domke bag. > ------------------------------ > > From: George Huczek <ghuczek@sk.sympatico.ca> > Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 17:22:30 -0600 > Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: Bag recommendations > > At 10:56 AM 27/07/98 +0000, you wrote: > >I have a AW Lowe and you have to understand it is only "all weather" > >when covered such that you can't use it. > > Good point.
