Thinktank Airport International and 500 F4

[DegasGoneDigital]

I recently bought a 500 and We are going to fly to Florida in a week. Does anyone know if a 500 w/hood reversed, 50D, 40D, 70-200 F4, 17-40, and flash all fit in this bag?? Anyone have a pic with this lens inside this bag??

Thanks......:)

One critical dimension not mentioned often is the bag depth for carrying large lenses like the 500 f4.
The inner dimensions:
ID: 13” W x 6.5” – 7.5” D x 18.5” H (33 x 16.5-19 x 47 cm)
18.5x7.5" ought to do it.

From a review on the TTank website for a Airport International:

I use this frequently when traveling, and it's a back saver! Last trip I had two D2x bodies, 80-200, 24-70, a fisheye, two flashes, misc stuff - along with a 400/f2.8. It's able to carry my briefcase with laptop - and best of all, I don't have to carry it. It fits easily on large planes, and even manages under the seats on most regional jets. I've had no trouble with the handles, locks or zippers - it's rugged. By now I think it's got about 200,000 miles and about 50 trips, and it now occurs to me that it looks pretty much as good as new except for the wheels themselves. Pretty typical ThinkTank product - not a lot to complain about. The only thing I'd improve is the divider system - it can be a bit of a puzzle to configure it.

According to Think Tank, it can hold a 500mm lens. I'd assume that it can also carry the other stuff you listed.

I've carried the 400 f2.8 in mine before(didn't think to take pics) and can tell you that it takes right at half the bag, everything else should fit very easily in the other half.

I also travel with lots of gear plus the 500 f4. Currently use two different options, the Photo Trekker and a wheeled carry on I padded myself. The Think Tank seems to be a good option. I summarized the dimensions of a lot of bag options in this link (http://www.chobesafari.com/photography-tips/photo-and-travel-tip-big-camera-bags-for-big-lenses.html). I hope the table helps.
