Weaknesses: Weight; no rain cover
Summary: 2007-03-30 16:00:27 The Tamrac 5258 is an excellent backpack choice for digital SLR photographers who need to carry a large amount of equipment. It can accommodate a large telephoto lens mounted on an DSLR body (a Canon 300mm f/2.8 IS fitted tightly), plus some other lenses and a backup body. A separate padded rear compartment can hold a large laptop, and many smaller compartments offer adequate space and protection for an assortment of accessories: flash, batteries, filters, and more. The direct access to the laptop without opening the whole bag is a very convenient feature in airport security lines!
The bag isn't light at 7 lb, but it offers very good protection, and a surprisingly good carrying system. All in all - highly recommended.
