Looking at buying this lens. Any thoughts? General investigations on the web put this as a good lens...

Hello all.
I'm trying to find a rucksack for my particular needs but the photography specific ones that I've seen don't quite fit the bill.
I'm after a sack with a smallish padded section for my K100D with 16-45, space for a 55-300 and 50mm with 2x converter. Would also be useful to have space for a flash in future.
This is easy enough to find but I also want a decent amount of space for items that I may need on a walk, such as waterproof, warm top, food, flask, etc.
All the rucksacks I've seen don't seem to be geared up for the requirements of a walker - they seem to assume that the photographer will not actually be walking very far
Any ideas?
Cheers

This is a really good camera backpack with loads of space for other items yet still not a massive backpack like a lot of others I've tried (and I've tried loads!)It has the best compartment system I've seen so far: really useful space everywhere.
I also really like the fact that it looks in no way what so ever like a camera bag and so does not attract the wrong type of attention when travelling.
Try it, you'll like it. Good price too

Took this on my way home from work on Friday when the air was clear and the River Forth was calm. It was dusk and the bridge looked majestic...
I waited on a train crossing to get the light trail on the bridge, this worked out well. There's another light trail heading towards the slip way which was the ferry returning from Inchcolm Island. Not too happy about that one as i think i could have timed it better.
Also, would any other lens make the shot a bit sharper? This was taken with the 18-55 mk11 kit lens. I think it's ok, but could be a wee bit sharper.
Anyway, this is my first long exposure night shot, so any tips much appreciated.
Edited to add: 30 secs exposure. i'll update the aperture value later.

I upgraded my kit lens to the Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4.5 and the difference in my shots has been incredible. You can pick one of these up new for around £220 which is not too painful.
