In fact, it can fit a pro DSLR with lens attached up to 300mm f\/2.8 plus additional 6-8 lenses and accessories. However, you might want something bigger like the photo trekker if you are on a professional photography trip or something smaller for trips that are less photography orientated. So far, I have to say the Flipside 400 AW suits me the most (but not perfect) out of all the other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kentyuphotography.com\/blog\/tag\/lowepro\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lowepro backpacks<\/a> that I have encountered.
