Camera Backpack to take 500mm and body attached

Conker · 17 Oct 2019

Can anyone recommend a sensible priced backpack camera bag that will take a 500mm prime with the body attached to fit .
It is purely for walking to and from locations .
As I like to move about keeping reattaching the body is not what I want to do.
Cheers

I have a older Lowepro photo trekker bag that should do the trick I used it with a full frame body and 150-600 sigma on it with hood on and it fitted comfortably .. you need a combination of length and depth in the bag ...

Vanguard Alta Sky 66. Absolutely superb bag.

Cheers,

Not cheap but made for the job: Lenstrekker

I had one of these for my 500 f4 and it was superb, takes the lens and body with no issue very quick to remove, but you do have to reverse the hood.

I am guessing a ThinkTank Limo doesn't come in to 'sensibly priced' but maybe you could find one second hand if you liked the look of it..

Just found a used but excellent condition Vanguard Alta Sky 66 on WEX at a good price so I went with that.
£65 inc post can`t argue with that.
Cheers All

Gitzo Adventory 45L swallows a 500mm attached to a full frame body easily (lens hood removed), plus plenty of room for a couple of other lenses and bits and pieces. The top expands for personal items as well. Only downside I found was that it allowed so much stuff to be taken as a carry-on to the states was that it weighed a ton!
