No pics because I'm back to two bodies, but I did this for a few weeks a little while back and I thought it was GREAT. I was wondering if I'm the only crazy one here who's ever attempted it.. like for an actual period of time?
Basically I took the Slingshot with me awhile ago when I went to Beijing. Two bodies (XTi and 30D), three commonly used lenses: 10-22, 17-55 and 70-200. The 17-55 stayed on the camera the whole time, since it was used almost constantly, but I had to keep switching between the 10-22 and 70-200 for the other body. It was a real pain in the ass.. and I knew the bag would always fit quite snugly three bodies (no grips or 1D's etc.) with ALL of those lenses attached. And I went and did it!
Now I know many here will try to tell me that it kind of defeats the purpose of having a 'quick sling' bag if I'm gonna fill it with that much weight, and I'd have to agree. But having 3 bodies with three commonly used lenses such that I don't have to switch lenses at all during a day out hiking/city-trekking.. it just suits my style much much better.
Anyone else carry around 3 bodies (all with lenses attached) in a 200? 300?
Any other bag? I'm open to ideas and comments. :)
