backpack: tamrac or lowepro?
hi.
first of all, i hope not to be off-topic, but this seems to be the best group to ask this. i'm planning to buy a complete 35mm slr set --it will be nikon--. since i'm going to buy quite a bit of things, i'll need a backpack --and probably a shoulder bag--. i had a look on a couple of websites and saw there seem to be 2 major manufacturer of [back|shoulder]packs: tamrac and lowepro. looking at the whole system and range of possibilities, tamrac seems smarter, because of their wide range of m.a.s. and s.a.s. extras. is there any big difference in quality between lowepro and tamrac? i was looking at 787 and 614 for tamrac and pro trekker aw ii and commercial aw for lowepro. thanks in advance for your replies. cheers. -- Gianni Rondinini Icem s.r.l. - http://www.icem.it Tel: +39 0545 78036 Fax: +39 0545 78727 |

backpack: tamrac or lowepro?
As far as I know they are both good makes. I happen to use Lowepro and am
very happy with them, but you might prefer Tamrac. I think a visit to a shop to check them out and compare could be good, or else compare specs from the brochures/websites. One thing I'd say is that the Lowepro Commercial is enormous, and will probably give you a major tilt to one side if you fill it up and carry it much. Seriously, big heavy shoulder bags are, a) not good for the health, and b) not ideal for carrying either.

backpack: tamrac or lowepro?
I happen to be selling a Tripod Cup for a photo backpack. It holds two of
the feet, and you just clip the top of your tripod to the bag. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MESSE:IT thanks, Heller "John Fryatt" wrote in message ...
