I personally just came back from a holiday in Barcelona and used my Lowepro All-Weather Trekker AWII which was a gift

http://www.lowepro.com/products/backpack...

My situation was quite like yours!

I used it to carry my SLR, my compact and my 2 Lomos - LCA+ and Oktomat, and also a flash gun and 2 extra lenses - a macro and a telephoto. There is also a small zipper pocket in front to put stuff like guidebooks and waterproof zipper pockets inside for the more valuable stuff.
Also there is the option for me to fix a tripod to the back - very useful.

Overall the bag feels very lightweight and comfortable and i enjoyed carrying it around. However, as it was my first time going travelling with a backpack i found it not as easy to take my cameras out from the bag, change lenses, etc as when I was using a Crumpler toploader "pizza" sling bag before.

My toploader was big enough to fit my SLR with wide-angle lens and 2 more small compacts (think the LCA+ and my digital compact) once i played around with the velcro compartments. I could then put small items like my keys or wallet in the front velcro pouch. It was very convenient to whip out the cameras but it just lacks the space if you need it.

Hope this helps!

Lomography Camera Question?

~Miss_Rani

Okay so this may be a little long, just warning you!

First of all, I don't know if I should get the Hipstamatic App for the iPhone or just buy a Lomographic camera?

Also, how exactly does the lomographic camera work? Is it like a polaroid camera where it gives you a photo directly?

And a MAJOR question I have! If I buy a regular lomographic one (maybe the Diana F+), and buy a fisheye lens for it, will the fisheye lens work? What are the different measurements like 24 mm (idk exactly the numbers) stand for? Will it work for all?

And which lomographic camera do you recommend or equipment (lens, etc.) if I want a camera that can take regular pictures, fisheye pictures, AND be underwater? (UNDERWATER IS A MUST!)??

Thank you so much and please help me! :)

Answer
Well I was ready to start giving you some answers until you said UNDERWATER. Are you serious? NO lomo camera, and very few of ANY cameras are designed to function under water. There are a few point and shoot digital cameras available that are waterproof. Any DSLR type of camera requires a VERY EXPENSIVE underwater housing for this type of thing. There is no such thing in existence for any kind of lomo camera.

Olympus and Pentax make quite nice point and shoot digital cameras that function under water, but they are in the three to four hundred dollar price range.
