The LowePro Mini Trekker has a large pocket the size of the backpack in the
flap. It is very handy for stuffing a laptop into (when going through an
airport) or for raingear/jackets.
I minimize how many times I take the backpack off by having either large
pockets or carrying a very small Domke shoulder bag that essentially
provides 3 large pockets. Seldom do I need quick access to everything.
Normally only about 3 lenses. Which 3 lenses changes upon where I am and
when.
If you are staying within 500 yards of the OM-4Runner you might find
attaching lens cases to the shoulder straps or belt to be more useful than
my method of adding pockets. That way you would only have one object to grab
when you get out to walk.

I've never owned a backpack bag, mostly because of complaints I've heard
about them being a PITA in terms of quick access, that they have to be taken
off and plopped on the ground before you can get anything out. My son had
one, and that was his gripe, and I've heard it from some other folks, too.
But I just got an e-mail from Adorama announcing a sale price on a Domke
backpack bag that looks like it might hold my E-1 kit (E-1, 7-14, 14-54,
50-200, 50 macro, FL50, and some incidental stuff) and I think I just may
get one. Hell, it'll probably spend most of the time in the OM-4Runner or
SSR anyway, but for those daring times when I venture up to 499 yards away,
it might be good to have.

Anybody have any experiences with, opinions of, or smartass remarks about
this bag?
