Hi guys,

I am after a bag to carry the 500 with the 1D attached. There are a few conditions.

1. It can't be the Kinesis L511
2. It must be carry on (56cm x 45cm x25cm = 22ins x 18ins x 10ins)
3. It must have the option of adding pouches for other lenses.
4. It must be available in the UK.

Basically I need to get the 500 transatlantic in the spring and none of my current bags will do the job. Ideally I'd love the Kinesis - it fits the bill perfectly. The issue with the Kinesis is that it is not available in the UK and they have no UK agents. Buying from their site will be expensive and a hassle.

Thanks for any help

Neil

The Think Tank Glass Taxi should be able to do the job, except for the part of the 1D being attached to the 500mm.

Thanks Nicolas,

I had considered the Glass Taxi but I'd rather have something less cramped. All their product shots don't really inspire me to buy it.

I may just have to go through the hassle to get the Kinesis unless anyone has any other opinions.

Cheers

Neil

You can take a look at the kiboko from gura gear.

Thanks but at $400 I'd be cheaper getting the Kinesis
