Shoulder bag

Do you think there is a bag that can store 2 bodies one w/ 70-200 the other 100-400 attached to them

Domke F1X for sure. Probably a Tamrac model that does, too but Domke's completely free-form for the main pocket.

When I started shopping for new bags I found many that can do that. Check the Tamrac site.

I needed something similar that I could hike with that did not interfere with my camel back. I settled with a Tamrac Photo Messenger 7.

Thank you guys for your help.

But just to make sure that we are on the same page, I'd like to ask you: can you put one body with the 70-200, the other body with 100-400 in the same bag at the same time.

Thanks again

I have the Tamrac 5612, which is the just about the largest that Tamrac shows for 35mm and DSLRs, and you might be able to get both of them in there, but there are two issues - you would have to point the lenses diagonally, and the 100-400 might be too large in diameter to comfortably close the cover. To explain - the bodies are set to rest at the edge of the bag, and there is a large notch in the dividers to allow the lens to fit through (lens bridge, lens gate, or something). The bag is sort-of arranged for one body at each end, with the lenses facing at one another. With the two lenses you describe, the bag is not long enough to hold them both facing directly at each other. But you can place them at an angle so that one angles toward the front of the bag, and one angles toward the back. But with the diameter of the 100-400, you would have to try one out. The reason is that the dividers are set up so that the bodies are elevated from the bottom of the bag, with storage areas underneath. If you wanted to take out the dividers (you can remove them all), you could get both of those rigs in there with no problem, but you would have to figure out how to get other things in there.

Now, if that is all you want to put in the bag, the Tamrac 608 (also in my inventory) would probably be large enough. It has several outside pockets to hold batteries, cards, filters etc, and the area inside (with all the dividers removed) would probably hold your two rigs.

As I said above, the 5612 is the largest that Tamrac shows for 35mm and DSLRs. They have larger bags for medium format, but I have not sized them up. One of them may be better suited to your kit.

Hope this helps.

Have Fun,

Many thanks CoolToolGuy for the detailed explanation.

For items like camera bags you really need to see them in person to have a good sense of size and dimension. However, that's not available to me as there are not many shops here that sell camera bags.

So was wondering if you can show photos of your bag(s).

Thanks

This is the best I can do:

Click on the 'Pro Bags for Two SLRs and Multiple Lenses' link.

I have the 608 and the 5612.

Hope this helps.

Have Fun,

Thanks CoolToolGuy for the link,

From the pics in the site it doesn't seem that you can have two bodies with lenses attached in the bag. It appears you can have them seperately only. I think what Jon suggested (Domke F1X) looks like it might do it.

Again, thanks for you help

if you want the cats a#$in shoulder bags, take a look at Billingham. Expensive but they are the best.

I'll check them out. Thanks IanD.
