I have billigham 550 for sale, and it easily hold two 1D bodies with lenses mounted and room for more. I have owned a lot of bags and can't think of another one that can do that as well as this did.

I used to use it as a working bag with a 1D and 1D2, then 1D2 and 1D3,. and lastly 1D2 and 1D4..
Now I shoot 5D4 and 7D2 and am happy to save weight and thus went down to smaller bags :)


Another option might be a thinktank retrospective 50, which will hold the two 1d bodies, with smaller lenses, but won't have a lot of room left over. I had and sold a retro 50, but never actually used it with a pair of 1D, so not too sure there. It is certainly not as roomy as the 550.

What lenses?

The UD 50 may work with smaller lenses, but would be awfully tight with say a 70-200 2.8 and 24-70.

Oh, the prime purpose is storing the 1 series cameras....maybe the 16-35 4IS or 35 IS or the 85 1.2II....but not all at once......I sprang for the UD 60....bit more room I hope!

Yes the TT UD60 has a bit more room than the TT UD50.

While Think Tank products have great well-designed features with durable workmanship, I found quite a few years ago the TT Urban Disguise 60
https://www.bhphotovid​eo.com …7332&is=REG&fro​mDisList=y (external link)
is workable but still a bit tight (particularly the top opening/zipper area) for two pro-body cameras.
For example: with a 1Dmkiii/5Dmkiii with mounted 70-200f2.8L IS mki or mkii and a 5Dmk ii or mkiii with mounted 24-70f2.8L mki or mkii; with two 580EX-II’s or 600EX-RT’s in the centre-section.
The newer TT UD-60 Classic maybe slightly different/better.

That is why my TT UD 60 has a lot of idle “bench/rack-time”, rarely getting used except for maybe events requiring discretion.
(Its laptop storage-compartment feature is convenient for carrying say light modifiers & a camera belt, or Cotton-Carrier Vest, etc.)

However, I hope you may find it satisfactory for your needs, as bags are such a personal decision.


P.S.
I’m partial to the Lowepro MAGNUM 200 AW [Mfr# LP36053]:
https://www.bhphotovid​eo.com …gnum_200_AW_Sho​ulder.html (external link)
-has lots of space and extra areas for storage, & sturdy external-loops to add on pouches, water bottle, etc.

Check out ThinkTank Retrospective for 50. Using this with Canon 1DX and 5D3 (with grip), equipped with 70-200 2.8 as well as 300 4.0 (both on Cam with lens shade in retro or collapsed) plus two (maybe 3) smaller lenses.
ANd no, this all together it ain't a lightweight.
