but I want some good protection for the mamiya.
Hey guys! thanks for all the good feedback....
I like alot of the ideas, and i think i may have a solid direction to go in.... I happen to own an amazing Arc'trex day pack, plenty big for all my gear, an internal plastic frame and all the hip support in the world. Im thinking if i could find some super high density foam, like the type that is rigid and doesn't really foam up, i may be in business. The reason i say i need very stiff foam would be that the pack i have is a top loader, and doesn't fully unzip like a normal pack. Ive a had a large block of rigid foam, i could cut out my shapes and it would be easy to slide in and out of the top opening.. like a drawer.
The reason I would be bringing my 35 is purely to shoot slide film..... Which i happen to love, so there's not really a MF replacement for that void. But i could see bringing only 2 lenses.
Thanks for the tips! I will look at the aforementioned Tamrac's and others.
You can't shoot slides with your 67? I must be doing something wrong.

now ON topic, has anyone ever experimented with minicell foam? Its the type of foam used for roof-top canoe/ kayak mounting ( on you vehicle) its VERY dense, but fairly lightweight. It can be cut, sanded or grinded to shape. It may be the perfect solution for my Arc'trex turned camera backpack project.
heres a link to the product:

Brought my hasselblad (2 bodies) 5 lens (including a 500mm in it's own case)to Hawaii 10 days ago in a Tamrac shoulder bag. but after travelling to Maui for two days of shooting, I decided to get another bag and bought a ThinkTank roller bag and got a Airlline International one that can hold the equipment with the 500mm (without the extra case.) I also know Promaster has a backpack with rollers for about $175 that can hold all of this. Good luck and good shooting. David
