Just wondering what bag people use for carry 500mm lens plus some other kit ???
 
Lens Trekker 600 series, but only for the camera and lens + a few bits in the pocket.
 
Think tank glass limo ,it has the size needed and it's also extremely lightweight
 
For a 500f4 there are loads of options. Do you plan on walking a lot with it? Do you need light weight or maximum protection?

some walking yes, main lens would be the 500mm Prime but wanted to fit maybe another lens and body, ive seen the Manfrotto Pro Light TLB-600 PL would be up to the job??
Cheers

I have this bag but be warned it a big b****r lol !

It just fits my 600 with D810 in and fitted the 500 really well too! I tried a few others in the shop like the think tank one etc, but this was a lot better made and holds the lens really well

The only downside is there not a lot of room for much else maybe a couple of small lenses as the 500/600 with body attached take up so much room? You could fit some things in the top but there no padding in that bit? I did have some pics but photobucket decided it not working once again! I am glad I only have the free one it always offline lol!

EDIT! now working so here a pic of the 600 in it zipped open!

The below thread gives a few ideas with their sizes as well.I started the thread a long time ago when looking for a bag for my 600f4. I now use 2 different bags. A MrJanGear bag which takes everything you throw at it and is very very strong, not well known by many but superb quality. My other bigger bag is the lower Flipside 500- lightweight and can at a push take the 600 and some more gear. Lightweight so easy to use when climbing the hills.
