I too got tired of the backpack. I never really cared for the vest, just not enough protection for glass and bodies. I use Lowepro's Street and Field harness. Basically it's an over the shoulder harness simialr to a backpack with out the pack. THen you hook on the pouches you desire. I have the camera bag on the back with lens pouches on the front with in easy reach. I really do love it when I hike through tight places, up and down rocky hills, etc.. It does a great hob of distributing the weight and provides easy access with great protection. --- In photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Roger Eichhorn <eichhorn@...> wrote: > > I have a couple of photo backpacks that are a pain to use.
