I know! (yawn) Lowepro Nova 200 II AW

[hashcake]

I've been a good boy and done a search for a thread relating to the bag but nothing came up

I’ve been looking at the Lowepro Nova 200 II AW.
I’m hoping that it will take a Canon 80D, Tamron 100-400, Canon 10-18,18-135 and I will probably add a battery grip sooner rather than later.
From everything I’ve read it seems like it will do the job but not with the 100-400 attached to the 80D.
I’ve had various Lowepro bags over the years but prefer the shoulder type to either the sling back or rucksack.
I know it will be quite heavy but I find it more comfortable wearing the strap across my shoulders than over it.
I won’t be taking all the kit out every time but as my girlfriend has told me there is a good variety of birds were we are going on holiday, I just know I’d kick myself for not taking the 100-400.
I’m just wondering if anyone else has a Nova 200 aw and how much kit you can get in it.

I've just checked a Nova 170, which seems to be the same height -- I can *just* fit a Nikon 70-200/4 with a 1.4 TC attached and that seems to be ~23cm long. It only just closes with that.

Beware, IIRC the 200 II is a big bag -- I'd certainly prefer a backpack for that weight, which would also leave room for bins and a scope. I'd likely take another bag too as plenty of places don't like people wandering round with large bags -- no problem if you're staying outdoors, but...

Here's some more info... but think this might be the older, and slightly smaller? version... http://www.cambags.com/shoulder-bags/lowepro-nova-200-aw

Thanks but I already knew about cambags and have read that.
I've got a Nova 160 and 180 AW as well but they are currently housing older bodies I''m going to sell although they are too small.
I've ordered a 200 AW, it's not a big deal if doesn't allow me to have the Tamron 100-400 attached to the body while packed, as long as all three lenses fit I'll be happy.
