I am currently using Peak Design's everyday backpack 30L. In it (or strapped to it) I can carry the following: A1 with Tamron 50-40mounted, A7 IV with Sony 24-105 mounted, 2-3 spare lenses of varying sizes like 24mm, 135mm, and a 70-200. Spare batteries, strap/PD Clip/wrist strap, spare caps, spare cards, lens cleaning materials like wet wipes, lens tissue, and a microfiber cloth, ear protection, business cards, tripod or small folding chair, water bottle, spare socks/T shirt, hoodie, etc. One of these days I should take a photo of the bag with everything unpacked. It isn't light. For smaller outings I use a Tenba Solstice 10L sling which allows me to carry a camera with a couple of lenses, the ancillary items, and a small tripod or monopod I also have a Vanguard Alta Sky 53, which is big enough but not laid out as well, and the bag itself weighs 6 lbs. empty. The Peak Design is half that. You will want a bag with a sternum strap and waist strap, but you will also want it to carry high on your back to reduce fatigue. Try to put most of the weight near the top and lighter articles toward the bottom. -

Thank you. I only wish I had camera store near me so I could look at them -
While I cannot help you with specific models and the amount of stuff that I carry with me is much lower, I have been buying camera bags since the '80s and I have been experiencing with several brands. I had horrible experiences with some, such as a shoulder strap failure while walking on a mountain trail or backpack zippers that broke while walking in a city, leaving all my gear exposed to people behind my back. The brand that I never regretted buying is Lowepro, I still use a backpack that I bought in 1996 and that I love because it does not scream "camera inside" but looks like a business one. I still have all the Lowepro equipment that I bought and the one that I gave away, it was because I did no longer need it, not because of failure. Therefore my advice is to take a look at their product range if there is something that fits your needs. -

I am looking to upgrade my camera bag to a backpack as I think it will be more comfortable at my age (80) and also carry more of my equipment . I have the Sony A7R5 and the A7II with 70-200 2.8 lens (new edition), Sony SEL 35F18, 10-18, FE 3.5-5.6 28-70; batteries and chargers for both along with cleaning stuff will pick up an extender for the 70-200. I also have the GoPro hero12 with batteries And of a tripod. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated -

I tend to shoot more middle of the range unless light is an issue, then I adjust accordingly. I'm not a bokeh person and don't care much, I'd rather have the depth of f/4-8 or so. Given that, I can't really see dust unless go looking for it, so I check mine midway through the season with white paper or blue sky and stopped down.
