Good luck with that! Your only option as I see it is to buy the bag you want from amdecent outdoor supplier and custom fit inserts into it.

The only company that I know that do anything close is Naneu Pro but even they don't do something that fits your requirements exactly.

That would be huge! As Chris said, find one for hiking/camping and modify it.

Yes, a rucksack like that, specially fitted for photographers, would sell in very small numbers.... and therefore make the unit price pretty scary. So I'm with Chris and Donoreo.

The UK's different, donoreo.... the excellent "Outdoor Photography" magazine in the UK gives great location information, how to get there, best times of day, what's nearby, which map to use (the UK is rightly proud of its 'Ordnance Survey' maps which are probably the best publicly available maps in the world), local hotels and - most important - the nearest pub!

I couldn't get the link into my last post as I was on my phone but the Naneu Pro rucksack I was talking about is this one

It's not perfect but it's as close as you'll get withough customising one yourself.

Wow! That's excellent - all a photographer needs for any travel. Probably works out at about 240 pounds in a 'straight' currency exchange - not sure about P&P or Duty, though.

They're very good bags - not cheap though and, as Geoff suggests, getting one in the UK is a pain.

Outdoor photography Canada should do that too!

I am jealous of the OS maps. They are awesome.
