Thank you so much for the backpack (P2). I have never had a backpack that let me carry all my 8x10 gear so effortlessly. Until now, it was always a lot of work to take the 8x10 hiking between my other packs and bags.

The modifications you have made to the base pack design are over-the-top great. I was excited at all the pockets and organization spaces in the pack and pouches, the easy access with the full-length zippers and for the first time I was able to get more than two holders into my pack. Your lightgear system was exactly what I needed for both my 4x5 and 8x10 system and the new pack exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to load up my 4x5 system in the new pack, it will seem light as air. Thanks again for designing and building such great products.

I will admit that I bought into the system on the strength of the Luminous Landscape recommendation, despite having tried dozens of camera backpacks over the years, with limited success. What a difference. Your system really does combine the excellent weight distribution of a good technical backpack with the convenience of a camera backpack. This is the system I have been looking for since I started in photography, over ten years ago. Incredibly, this pack feels about 50% lighter than my old camera backpack.

The absolute best feature of this pack is the fit. This is the most comfortable, best fitting pack I have ever had! With 35 lbs of gear and 3L of water it sits on my back extremely well, and I do not feel the weight. The hip belt is great - it also is very comfortable and is just right on my hips. This is the pack that I have been looking for. This pack is quite a winner, and you should be very proud of it. I will be recommending it to all of my friends.

My wife and I are still enjoying our packs and have taken three major trips with the system now. I love being able to pull out the lens cases and put them in my Pro-Roller for carry-on. Then just put them right back into the packs which we secure in our checked luggage. It is just a brilliant system. With the individual lens cases, we had no issues with dust while shooting in the desert. Before, when using the Lowe Pro, we always had to make sure our packs were sealed. Now we can just leave them unzippered, facilitating the workflow immensely.

November last year I ordered 4 LightGear Genesis lens cases from you. I am writing to let you know that I am nothing less than delighted with them! I cannot think of any other product that would offer better protection for my lenses. Their design is exceptionally well thought out, and they weigh next to nothing! Thank you so much for a GREAT product!

"Thanks for all Bruce, Love the system!
Like most folks, I've futzed around for years trying to create my own, trying to find the right pack and getting it all to work. Your system is the answer! I'm very happy with the modularity of it and easy access/egress to the lenses."

"Last year I bought a Kelty 3100 pack, camera case and lens cases for my Master Technika. At the time I can remember being very happy with the way the order was handled, and after 12 or so months use I can say that I have been absolutely delighted with the system."

"I've weighed your Kelty based system with my Ebony 4x5 plus 2 lenses and film and the normal stuff and it is lighter fully kitted than my LowePro pack is EMPTY."

"I just received the pack - WOW!...it's awesome. The case is a perfect fit for the camera ...... Everything fits perfectly. This is a great set up; I'm really glad I found your site.

"I replaced (a Zone VI bag) with a Kelty backpack, and system from PhotoBackpacker.com, and carrying the camera has been *much* more comfortable... Bruce Laughton is a great guy, and answered my many questions, and was truly interested in getting my setup correct."

- John C

"The system works really well....I have mostly the smaller lens cases. The stuff is great...the price is very attractive as well."

- Ken M

"These are the greatest lens cases ever! A Must have!"

- Chris J

"... real cool system. I use it and so does one of my buddies. Great stuff and well built."

- Eric R.

"The guys at photobackpacker.com have a great system.... brilliant.... and my back is thanking me...(I) could not be happier. All these years I thought my F64 was as good as I was going to get, but the Kelty together with the camera case and lens cases puts it to shame, both in terms of organization and, especially, comfort and fit. Great service, great price...what's not to like?"

- Bruce P

"The build is excellent. I intend to use these cases along with a lightweight backpack (Mountain Smith Ghost). I like it enough that I plan to buy another case for my 4x5 camera."

- Phong

"Awesome product. thanks!"

- David T

"Your cases are superb and combined with the Granite Gear pack, you have a winning combination."

- Mike H

"I got the backpack yesterday. I've got the 4x5 gear loaded and secure - sweet! Thanks again. Fine product.
