Slingshot 200 AW - fits two mounted bodies

[Crunchy]

Just thought I'd add a little note for those doing searches for the slingshot 200 AW.

The movable compartment dividers are really awesome. I just got my 2nd body and I am able to fit both into the main compartment:

-removed all but one of the long divider walls. Had it divide a small corner out.
-in small corner: Rebel XTI with Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 mounted.
-outside small corner: 40D with 1.4x TC, 70-200mm f/2.8 mounted.

40D accessible by the normal "slinging" reach in and take camera out.
XTI require zipper to open all the way to access.

At this point things are getting really tight. But... works for me.

(And I thought I needed a new bag when I got my 70-200 with only one body. hee)

Pictures please.

How the heck is a 40D mounted to a 70-200 with a 1.4TC? I had that and the 70-200 mounted pushed the bag out far enough...

I gree I wanted to have my rebel with 70-200 f4 mounted and I thought it was to tight. I'd love to see some pics of the 70-200 in there.

I had to recharge AA batteries for my point and shoot.

Here are some pics:

Note: The XTI had battery grip on.

o0o0o0o0o...yeah, that wouldn't be my ideal setup of a bag.

70-200 F4 on a Rebel is smaller than a 70-200 F2.8 and 20D. Should fit alot better.

I've been down that route with my Slingshot 200. Had a 30D and 1D Mark IIN, 70-200 lens stuffed in the bag.

Looks like it's time for you to start looking into a Domke bag! :)

Man I wish they made one between the 200 and 300 the 300 just looks to big

Or get the SS300AW like this one--plenty of room. But really, I don't believe the Slingshot series is disigned for two bodies--it's more for run and gunning. Here is a couple shots of mine if they come through. Gripped 20D with Sigma 30mm mounted. Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 hood reversed under the 580EX. Flash battery pack, Sigma 18-200 OS, and under the blue camp towel, are Sigma 1.4x and 2x T-cons. In the top compartment is room for a light meter, Epson P-2000, some batteries, papers, stuff. Fully loaded this pack is heavy--but if you have the camera body and lens in your hand where it should be, it's not too bad. The camera will fit fine with the 70-200 mounted, even with a 1.4x on it.

I love both my SS200 and SS300. I got tired of messing around with the 200 to get longer mounted lenses in so got the 300 for that use. But they're both great bags especially if you don't mind reconfigurations to try to suite your needs without going too large.
