Ok, so I was doing some research, and it's a mile from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. Where we were shooting was about 3/4 of the way to the Monument. So I would estimate Aaron's shot is from about 3/4 a mile away. Which I think is rediculous.

Hey guys ... any recommendations on a lightweight / comfortable backpack for my SLR?
I don't carry a lot of gear (20D with 17-85mm lens, 70-200mm f/4L, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, and a 580EX), and a little extra space to carry the charger, extra batteries etc ...
I'm going on a trip in 2 months to China for 2 weeks so it'd be nice if I had something I could carry my SLR with.
Couple things I'm looking for:
1. 17-85mm Lens must stay attached to the camera while in the bag.
2. Must be lightweight
3. Must be comfortable (this is probably a personal preference)
4. Not exceptionally expensive (under $200 would be ideal)
It'd also be nice if it was capable of carrying a 15.4" MacBook Pro, and some other accessories, so I could use that as my carry-on for the flight.

They have a 3000 square foot room FULL (like as in can't get anymore in there) of bags of all shapes, sizes, and cost. You will find what you are looking for there.
