potn AUSSIE CLUB: thinks, links 'n drinks

No grips on the cameras... 300AW is too big, tried one on today

Then adding 2 bodies and lenses to anything would, probably, be too bulky for you, too.

I carry 2 shoulder bags.

They need a 250AW lol!

Have you looked at some of the other bag manufacturers?

Not yet... Im going away on holidays at the end of the week so might have a look while im away, But i can get away with the 400D sitting unmounted

umm, no. no it won't. very difficult to get two bodies with lenses into this bag at once.

It does fit a 40D with grip & 100-400 mounted, 30D body (no grip), 17-40, 24-105, 50, 430EX plus hoods for the L lenses.

The Sigma 500 flash has to go in the top compartment. Batteries, cards, torch, pen, remote etc. all fit in the front.

I have a Slingshot 200 also, but it hasn't been used much since the 100-400 won't fit mounted.

What it can't do is hold onto my monopod when its not being used!

Jeez - I dunno

I know I have this in my 200 and there isn't enough room for another body:

Canon EOS 5D + Battery Grip BG-E4 + POTN strap + Canon Hand Strap E1
* Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM (with hood)
* Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 (with hood)
* Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 (with hood)
* Sigma 1.4x and 2x teleconverters
* Canon Angle Finder C
* Canon Remote Switch - RS80N3
* 2 x Sandisk Extreme III 4Gb CF Card
* 1 x Sandisk Ultra II 2Gb CF Card
* 2 x Sandisk Ultra II 1Gb CF Card
* 1 x Sandisk Ultra II 512Mb CF Card
* Sekonic L-358 Light Meter
* Epson P2000 40Gb Multimedia Viewer
* Sandisk Card Reader
+ 2 more batteries for the 5D

Why can i always fit more then other people!
I tried and can get the following in my 200AW:
400D w/ 17-85mm IS USM
40D w/ 70-300mm IS
580EX II
50mm 1.8 (In top section)
100mm Macro
Neoprene Pouch with bateries (in top section)

Think the 200 will last me this holiday (3 weeks) will look while im away but may get a better bag on my return after some good research.

Yeah, but the whole point of a slingshot bag is ease of access...

If you pack it in too tight, it becomes a pain to get it quickly - which is usually when you need it.

If i can fit that rather tight in a 200AW would it be better fit in a 300AW?? How much biger is the main compartment on the 300 then the 200?
