KATA R103 ANYONE??

[Devananda]

looking to get an all weather backpack............
some one on here pointed me to kata (thank you )
so now I am trying to decided between the RE103 and the HB 207
if any one out there has then packs fell free to chime in.....

Don't own them but I know somewhere that has them in stock

both are very good, the 207 is much bigger than the 103 so will hold more but also means its a lot heavier.

If you can tell me what gear you have I can put the same or similar gear in one and take a photo if you want so you can get a feel for how much space you'll have spare.

it will be holding Nikon D80 W/ 18-70 @ 80-200.....that all I have right now only be in the hobby a month or so.....
I all so like the fact the it will hold a laptop!
Thanks Deva

that will fit the R103 no problem, but in the HB207 is will be lost, but that does mean if you ever get more gear you will not have to buy another bag.

the 80-200 you have is it a F2.8 lens or a smaller F4-5.6?

Either way I'll take a few shots at work tomorrow and post them tomorrow when I'm home
