2-Body, 2-Lens Travel Bag

[Ball4]

Looking for a travel bag that holds 2 bodies with a lens attached to each body. I hate having to swap lenses when I travel. Any recommendations? Something big enough for a 5D/70-200 IS and 5D/85L combination? No flash.

Tamrac Pro5 will hold that (no grips?) and still be pretty small.

Think Tank UD 50, 60 or 70Pro would also do that. UD 40 might be a bit tight for easy entry.

These are shoulder bags ... you didn't specify what you were looking for. Which 70-200?

Unusual combination of lenses ... no wide?

For Think Tank, you will need UD60 for a 5D with 70-200f/2.8 attached. This bag will hold 2 of this setup every confortably and still with room for 2 580ex or lens or other misc item. Not to mention it hold a laptop on top of all these stuff. It is a fastastic bag to for gear transportation.

The UD70-Pro will also hold the f/2.8 on the camera. If the OP has the f/4 version of that lens, the others will work as well (it was not indicated which version was in use).

Thanks for the recommendation. I meant the 2.8 IS version. I want something just large enough. Nothing bigger than necessary. Less is better for me when traveling.

Although I am a huge fan of Think Tank and have way too many TT bags...

I think my absolute smallest solution to dual cameras with large lenses has to be the Tamrac Pro-5. I normally have a 5D-II with 24-70mm f/2.8 and a 7D 70-200mm with f/2.8 in that bag. The cameras are arranged bottom-to-bottom with a center full-heigth divider. The full opening flip top makes getting either camera in/out very easy.

Anything more than that bare minimum and I would use the TT UD-60 where I can also carry a flash and another lens or two easily, plus a Macbook computer.

Both bags will be fairly heavy when loaded, and both can slip over the handle of rolling suitcases when walking through the airport.
