Camera Bags

[BirderOzzie]

Hi all,

I recently purchased a new lens, and am badly in need of a bag for it. As I can afford only 1 bag, ideally it would be within carry-on size restrictions, and be able to take a Nikon 600mm f4 AFS-II and 200-400mm f4 lens, as well as a D300s and extras. I was looking at the ThinkTank Airport Accelerator bag, but I'm not sure if both the 600 and 200-400 will fit in it. I would be using it for carrying gear in the field, as well as transporting it through airports etc. Is there a perfect solution?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Oscar

How about the lowepro flipside 500aw?? It is a BIG bag. I bought it for my 50-500mm and my 50-500 rolls around inside.

It is up for sale in the classifieds

Are you looking for a bag just to carry the lenses, and it is a bag for transport or actually going out in the field?

Looking at the lowepro site, a flipside 500 will not take the 600mm on it's own, so very unlikely it will take a 600mm and the 200-400mm.

Guragear kiboko 30l... I've just received mine and absolutely love it, it's a butterfly design, so the top folds upwards & inwards. I have a 600mm one side, 300 2.8 17-40 and two bodies in the other. It is carry on approved and it only weighs 4lbs

Discontinued - links to Bataflae 32L.
Designed in the USA, made in Vietnam - yet still manages to cost $449? F.....me! Taking the proverbial, without a shadow of a doubt.

Of course, I'm sure many are made in the Far East, but it's not something you brag about unless it brings a cost advantage for the consumer.
Someone there has priced up the lenses it'll take, and divided by 2 to get the what they think the buyer will pay.

I certainly wouldn't buy without having seen/touched/tried one on, etc, and I can't see many retailers carrying that sort of stock unless it's SOR or a hefty margin in it.
And I thought $250-300 was pricey for Clik/Kata ones.

And I think this one might take some beating for the money it asks.....

Can't vouch for any of those, nor if they meet all the criteria (airline restrictions or lens carrying), but fill your boots nonetheless.

Love my Billingham (have several). Keeps the water out, looks great and lasts a lifetime. Over the shoulder may not suit though, as they can get heavy. I did get an old Billingham rucksack, which is brilliant! Difficult to find, but they are just the ticket.
