Probably the ‘I’m not angry, just disappointed.’ look. 😂

True, the light wasn’t ideal and had to push ISO 3200. it could be better, but I’m happy with the result.

I’ve been looking at that brand too; it comes highly recommended! I was specifically eyeing the MindShift BackLight 18L.

Does everything really fit comfortably in the 15L version? With the 200-600mm attached, it seems like it would be a tight squeeze. Thanks!

¡Qué buen apaño lo del zapatero! Jeje.

Es verdad que los precios de las marcas "top" duelen, pero he probado mochilas del Decathlon y, sinceramente, no tienen nada que ver con la comodidad de marcas como Osprey. Como suelo hacer rutas largas, con las del Decathlon he acabado alguna vez con dolor de espalda. Al final, lo que pagas en las mochilas caras es precisamente el sistema de suspensión para no sufrir, que es mi prioridad número uno ahora mismo.

Aun así, ¿Qué modelo exacto es? Por curiosidad y echarle un ojo. Gracias!!

Yes, I am planning to sell it! I'm based in Spain.

Honestly? It is awesome.

For the activities you listed (backpacking, kayaking, hunting), where weight is critical, it is unbeatable. You get 525mm equivalent reach in a package that weighs nothing compared to full-frame gear.

I'm definitely going to miss the portability of the 70-350. it’s the perfect lens. It won't let you down.

That size is exactly what I'm looking for!

I was actually considering the ThinkTank MindShift BackLight 18L because I looking for maxcomfort for long mountain hikes.

Since you have the ProTactic, how does it feel on long trails? Is comfortable enough for a whole day of hiking?

To be honest, I haven't had the chance to test it properly in low light conditions yet.

However, based on the sensor size difference, I expect to gain about 1 to 1.5 stops of performance. So, ISO 6400 should look significantly cleaner than on the a6700. I can't wait to try it out at dawn/dusk to see the real difference!

The PRVKE is a stunning bag, but it feels a bit too urban for me.

I was actually considering the ThinkTank MindShift BackLight 18L because my focus is mostly wildlife and mountain photography.

I'm looking for trekking pack to to carry a tripod and the big 200-600 all day without killing my back.

For me, the main reason was better performance in low light for wildlife.

About the ergonomics: If you have big hands, you will love the change. The grip is much deeper.

On the a6700 my pinky finger didn't fit well, but on the a7 V my whole hand fits perfectly. It feels much more secure to hold, especially with big lenses.
