F Stop backpacks - anyone got one?

[David Evans]

I picked up about the F Stop bags on another thread here, and wondered if anyone has got one of these,and ideally the Tilopa http://fstopgear.com/en/product/mountain/tilopa?
If so, is it as good as it looks?

My Tilopa is on its way from the US, I'll report back when I receive it

[BarryWilkinson]

The Tilopa has arrived and my first impressions are that it is very well made and fits me perfectly (I'm 5' 61/2"). The back does not have any height adjustment so it may be an issue if you are very tall? I have taken only two images as the f-stop site has many of this pack with digi camera's enclosed. However my images have LF kit enclosed. There are three lenses, Pentax spotmeter, loupe, LEE filter case, Toyo 45AII, six d/s and a dark cloth.

Before it arrived I had the idea of putting my d/s bag in the top of the pack above the ICU. However there is sufficient room with the standard ICU for the camera to fit in the top with my dark cloth. The images attached show this arrangement. The only large item missing is a Lee filter holder which would easily fit it the pack top.

If anyone wants any more images please let me know.

You can see the Toyo above the ICU in the Front image.

That's a nice coloured pack! Makes a change from the usual grey or black
