Jerry - I'm looking for a new pack so this is good timing. I'm looking for something for day hiking, generally east side of the Sierra, Death Valley, etc. My camera gear is a D800e with 24 - 70 mounted, and then carry my 14 - 24, and 70 - 200, sometimes my 105 micro, all 2.8, a few filters, plus tripod. Then I need a rain jacket, water, snacks, and other odds and ends for day hiking. These are day hikes when the purpose is photography.
Will this pack do it?

Hi Don. Yes, this is the pack for those pro lenses. I recommend getting the R180º Pro and the Lens Switch case. The D800, 24-70, 14-24, and 105 will all fit in the belt pack, no problem. Put the 70-200 in the case and place it in the upper compartment where you have plenty of room for all your other gear plus a big reservoir on the side. I've been stuffing it like this, with a set of draws, a gri-gri, one ascender, light harness and shoes for a day of sport climbing and shooting. The rope straps over the top. It carry's very comfortably and you can just take the belt pack by itself if you want to zip up the rope to shoot.
For light weight endeavors the new Panorama pack is really sweet. It doesn't hold as much extra cargo, but will just fit the D800 with an L bracket, and 1-2 lenses in the belt pack. The Nikon 24-70 is a big lens and with the lens cap and UV filter may fit better horizontally in the belt pack. (Canon 24-70 is smaller and fits better). This pack is lighter and a great solution for light photo excursions, mountain biking, and car to car peak bagging outings. I've been putting my D800 in there with 24-85mm and 18-35 or 70-300mm lenses, which are lighter and more compact than the 14-24/24-70 lenses. Of course you can put extra gear including the 70-200 up top.
Also, check out the Filter Hive, which will organize your filter junk-show.
Hope this helps.
