So, thinking about it. If I’m going for a walk I need a better bag. Not that the Mini Trekker or the Vertex 200 are bad bags, they are great but aren’t really a combi camera/clothes bag. Seems the Lowepro Rover AW2 is more what I need.
Looks like a trip to Jacobs soon to check it out. Really don’t need a great capacity for a camera. Probably enough space for the 5D, 15mm, 17-40 and the 25-105. Other than that I don’t really need much else when shooting landscape. Looking at the Lowepro site it seems to have the capacity for my requirements, though artisit impressions of capacity always seem to neglect a camera with a battery pack. That said it claims to handle a pro size SLR (which in size terms matches the 5D + Battery grip). Just as important as the camera compartment is the top. This compartment needs to hold some clothing, food and water. Should be a bit easier than trying to cram all sorts of bits in the Vertex bag (Laptop compartment is really only for laptops!).
Hoping Jacobs will match their web prices, as their website is £20 cheaper than supposed store price.
