mi lo que necesitaba.

Fantastic!

Love it: the backpack is large enough to hold my heavy Medium (Mamiya RZ67) or Large Format (Linhof Master Technika) cameras, three lenses, light meter, multiple large filters, loupe, darkcloth, phone, keys, notepad, water bottle, etc, with plenty of room for a sweater and other gear. I like that the internal aluminum frame is sewed-in and padded, and not exposed like in other backpacks. But I would not put a laptop inside the sleeve for fear it would crack when I put the backpack down and all the gear puts weight on the laptop. All materials, seems, and zippers are top notch. Color (aloe/drab) is exactly as pictured. Even includes a nice sleeve. I was surprised how big the backpack actually is. My other backpack this one replaces has 25 liters and I thought adding 6 extra liters wouldn't make a big difference. In reality, it feels it has twice the room for gear. But even when fully loaded, it feels less heavy than my previous backpack when I adjust all the straps properly. Be aware that this is a more technical backpack intended for longer nature hikes (which is what I will be using it for). I wouldn't use it for a stroll through the city because of all the hanging straps and loops. And just to be clear: a back-loading backpack is a must! I had a front-loading backpack before and when you put the backpack down to unload your hear, in moist grass, dirt or mud, you get all the water and dirt on the back of your backpack, and from there on the back of your cloths and car seats, and you get wet and cold. Not so with a back-loading backpack. Tip: instead of the (expensive) f-stop camera ICU insert, you can buy a large unbranded camera insert on B&H or Amazon that is the same size and quality as the large f-stop ICU at 1/3 the cost. And kudos to B&H: despite these challenging times, I received the backpack within 24 hours. This morning it was still in NYC, and a few hours later it was delivered to my home in Washington, DC, at no extra shipping fees. P.S: f-stop, if you read this, please add a side handle on your backpacks in the future.
