When I was a Photo journalist (struggling one that is)... I use to love my Domke bags and vest. Probably the best camera bags ever made.

But now, I no have the need to carry around several bodies, lenses, Metz flashes and so on.

So right now I am using a very small, LowePro MiniTrekker that I keep on my back while riding the bike.

I've been thinking about getting one that can also hold a laptop in it. Since these days, you need your laptop to "develop" your shots.

Just wondering what people are using, especially when riding.

No difference here mike, I use the same type of backback as you ... holds 3 lenses, flash and camera no problem ... let me know if/when you find a bag that holds a laptop as well, i haven't seen one.

I have turned one of my saddlebags into a electronics bin. I have cutout foam and now it can hold my little camera, my laptop, binoculars, and power sources. Low security though. I found a company that makes a tank bag specifially for big twins so I am going to check that out. I simply cannot function without my laptop but get tired of the weight of a backpack.

And... it's a movie and photo forum dude!!!! Post some pics!!!

I was thinking of maybe a tank bag as a photo bag... But hate putting that stuff on the bike.

I have the LowePro Mini Trekker. Have had it for 4 or 5 years now and it is a great bag. The pics are from the net. Not my equipment!!

I'm tired of wearing backpacks. I must have 4 or 5 of them for every conceivable purpose. One for work stuff, one for bike stuff...etc.

I'm gonna hire a Sherpa to follow me everywhere.

I have been pretty happy with this LowePro MX 200 bag.
