Anyone carry three L zooms in one bag?

Jonathan B. Leffert · Sep 5, 2003

I carry my 16-35L, 24-70L, 70-200L and 50/1.4, 550ex flash and my D60 in the standard Domke shoulder bag with the two-pocket insert all the time.

The four-pocket insert it came with made the camera not fit with the 24-70 on it.

Usually, I have the 24-70 on the camera, the 70-200 in a pocket insert, the 16-35 in the other pocket insert, and I toss the 50 ontop of the 16-35 because it's short relatively speaking. The 550ex goes in the side pocket and voilá.

a comparison if anyone is interested:

If carrying the 17-40L with my existing lenses is ridiculous, than
the 20mm prime becomes more attractive an option.

Does anyone carry around three zooms of this size in one bag? I
was thinking of getting a Lowepro backpack and don't know how easy
or burdensome this would be.

Thanks,

I have the Tamrac Pro 13 and man is it a big, heavy bag! Mine is stuffed with D60 with BigEd, EOS 3 with PB-E2, 28-70L, 70-200L IS, 50 f1.4, 100 macro, 135 SF, 550EX, film, reflectors, light meter, remote cable, wireless remote and transmitter, and various other stuff.

HEAVY!!

Here is a pic a friend of mine shot of me carrying my bag while shooting IR with my Sony 707, and my D60 was hanging around my neck.

I do, 24-70L, 70-200L 2.8 IS, 100-400L with 2 x 10D+Big Ed. Oh, and
also a 550EX and TC's. It is worth at least 4 hours in the gymn for
every 1 hour carried. All fits into a Tamrac Super Pro 14.

Not recommended unless you absolutely have to or masochism is on
your hobby list.

I use a couple of different "bags" but the one I use the most around town is the Zoom 16 with the some M.A.S. lens holders. Typically I'll carry the 20-35 L, either the 100-300 L or 80-200 L, and either the 28-135 IS (80% of the time) or the 28-70 L. It just depends. I can carry this load either slung over my should or on the belt pack. For light hiking (with out the back pack) I'll use the 28-135 IS (sorry 28-70 L, you're staying home), 100-300 L, and the 20-35 L. Not much weight with these and the optics are very good.

I carried a 17-35L, 28-80L, 80-200L, 100mm macro, D30 w/ BG-ED3, 1.4x TC, 420EX, charger, filters, flash cards, etc. in a bag the size of a Lowepro Magnum AW. Now I carry all that gear, plus a 2x TC, in a Lowepro Orion AW beltpack. I don't currently use the detachable backpack part of the Orion AW.

I tried a Lowepro Mini-Trekker. Backpacks are great if you have to carry your gear a long way before using it. But, if you need to work out of a bag, I found a large beltpack with a shoulder strap like the Orion AW to be much more practical.

Just came home after shooting a wedding for the whole day. Exhausted.

I bought along with me a 70-200LIS, 24-70L, 17-40L and a 85/1.8 together with my 10D. Also took a EOS-1 (film body) and a 550EX.

Everything inside a Lowepro mini-trekker.

Comfortable when adjusted properly, but a hassle to access (Take off, put on ground, etc)

What backpack users need is a lightweight folding stand that works like those fold-up-and-bag chairs.. It could taks up less space than a small tripod, and hold the pack off the ground, supporting the cover as well.

Brian Cheung · Sep 7, 2003

Hi David,

Since I don't have 1.4xTC yet, can you advise me whether it can be used for all prime lens? Thanks!

Where do you keep the hoods on those lenses? The big problem with a lens like the 16-35/2.8 is that the hood takes up a huge amount of space relative to the lens. Quite wasteful, really (though I pack mine that way) . . . but it doesn't appear that you have the hoods on most of those lenses.

I ran across the Crumpler camera bags, which look great and well-made, and B&H has great prices on them.

Anyone use them, and if so, which model and what do you think?

Thanks,

Not sure when they're going to be available in your area, but they're in shops in Australia just this week. Try crumpler.com.au for general info, too.Cheers, Ben.

Peter,

here's a great set-up that covers your needs.

It's the Billingham 550 bag.

http://www.billingham.co.uk/home.asp

Probably one of the best camera bags made. Quality through and through.

Wouldn't trust my Canon kit to anything else after using Billingham.

Sits comfortably on the shoulder with a neoprene support pad...

Comfortable, waterproof, well padded and versatile.

Chris.
