I apologize if this is in the wrong section.
I'm looking for a camera bag to take hiking with me that could fit my Phoenix 650-2600mm lense as well as camera body, 3 or so other lenses, snacks, water bottle, and a place for my tripod to be attached.
Right now I have the Lowepro Slingshot 100 and it's nice for just an average trip around town but I want something that'll carry everything I'll need for a days hike.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks but I was kind of looking for something that looks more like a backpack so I can strap it to my back while climbing and such.

Sorry - I was being a smart a$$. That's a long lens to be hiking with - what are you planning to shoot, if you don't mind me asking?

I can't help a lot to be honest, but I just looked it up and as it'll probably be pretty important to know.
The length of the phoenix lens with 2x Tcon attached at shortest length is 20.2"

wildlife...I kind of want it with me even though it'll be heavy after some time...I've gone on hikes wishing I had it in the past. It's actually got its own carrying case so I might be able to attach it to a bag in a similar way you would a tripod.
Local stores don't seem to have anything I'm looking for so there's no way for me to check it out and see in person how large/useful it is.
