Looking for a bag could fit 2x 1D, 1x 400mm f2.8 IS UM, 1x 70-200mm f2.8 IS, 1x 16-35 f2.8, 1x 580EX II etc....

Wish the bag could bring up to airplan, any suggestion?

The new LowePro Pro Trekker 400AW will fit your gear. I bought one to take hill walking. It is a heavy bag to start with but there is a lot of room in it. The 400 2.8 will certainly fit attached to a 1D body. Also has storage for a laptop too. Also places for three, yes three, tripods!

The depth might be a bit too much for the airline regs but OK if you do not pack it out too much.

I hope this helps,

Paul.

Hi Airvincent
I just got my Canon 400mm 2.8 IS II and I wonder what type of bag you bought to fit all your gear.

The Lowepro Pro Trekker 400AW is supposedly airline carryon max size.

I've got one and it fits quite an large amount of gear if you take the time and patience to reorganize the dividers and fit things tightly.

it will definitely get heavy with it loaded but once you've got the straps setup and everything tightened down it's all day manageable.

What about this one?... very discreet and I'm sure it will fit all your gear, you just have to get a 3rd party separators so your gear won't bang each other.
