Lowepro 300AW or 400AW.

300AW for 70-80% of your listed lenses (in your signature).
400AW can fit all ..

I have both.. 300AW is good enough.. Used this most of time.

400AW, when I need more lenses + 2 bodies + flash

Yes bro.. Flipside 300

I adjusted the compartments a bit, and I think can fit all your equipment haha....
But you have no room for more.. which is good.. you pack what is required

the flipside 300 is the most compact backpack that i've found so far. but it packs in quite a lot. recently i covered a wedding with it, holding:

a700, km 7d (both bodies with VG), sigma 30mm, km 85mm, sigma 10-20mm, cz16-80mm, sigma 50mm macro, 5600 hsd (KM flash similar to 56AM) and the lambency diffuser. :sweat: only thing that couldn't go in the main compartment was my batt pack for the flash. cleaning kit went to the outer pocket.

Any updates?

I thought CP have always listed a sticker price much much higher than the selling price..and the selling price is normally about half price from the sticker price?

This time round, is there any "real" discount?
