Canon 200EG Photo Backpack

I bought the Canon 200EG photo backpack with the following goals:

  • carry two medium format cameras
  • backpack style to avoid the peculiar pain that comes from asking one half of my body to carry 12 pounds for several hours
  • cheap

So far, all goals have been met. Here’s how it looks loaded.

This is the front compartment (containing about 10 boxes of 120 film, my Pentax Digital Spot meter, small scisors, and electrical tape):

And this is the main compartment (containing: Gaoersi 612 w/Fuji 75mm, 2 Cokin P filter holders with attached hoods, 4 Cokin P filters, Fuji GW690III, and Hugo Meyer rangefinder marked in meters):

Sure, the backpack is a little on the cheap side, but if it lasts a few seasons I’ll be happy. The design isn’t perfect, but for about $40 I’m pleased so far.
