Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW

Pros: Capacity, rigidity that provides protection, possibility of internal customization

Cons: Weight, shoulder straps

Opinion: The backpack is very large, there is a lot of equipment, even if the quick pockets are two and not very agile to reach. I have brought us Nikon D7200, Sigma 17-70, Tokina 11-16, Nikon 10.5 and Tamron 70-300, plus filters and tripod hanging out. Plus there was some garment. What to say, the weight of course in that case makes itself feel great, also because the backpack of his is Pesantino. I find it really comfortable as hand baggage in the airplane, thanks to the space for PC. I do not find it comfortable for days where you have to stay long with the backpack on your shoulders. For that they gave me a Manfrotto Off-Road, less capacent but much more comfortable. Beyond the little padding, the thing that annoys you is the backrest so rigid in direct contact with the back, without a breathable retina. Also the shoulder straps do not have the high setting. They are all things more typical than a backpack "mountain", which in fact have others as the Manfrotto already mentioned or the sport LowerPro. The cost is also not really low, however I have not sold it yet because to transport all the equipment in a safer or airplane definitely does its job.

Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 G ED

Pros: Quality, color rendition, sharpness

Cons: Cost and weight

Opinion: I could try it for just 3 days scarce, having rented this lens and a D810 for a workshop in the Joshua Tree NP Desert. I fell in love with the first shot. It will be that I'm used to DX and much less performing lenses, but the photos it allows to shoot are stunning. With the angle it has, it allows you to play with the shot and create beautiful effects with the clouds. I think it will be my first lens when I finally get my hands on a FF, and maybe I'll take it first, and I'll start using it on my DX.
