Ok I tried for three hours tonight to get my 600mm lens to fit in my Airport Addicted, no go. It is just to tight and doesn't leave much room for other lens's or bodies.''What are you guys using to carry yours in?

tbh its rather surprising how it manages to balance the weight, i had 6 lens cases attached to it as aswell and it was fine (400 2.8 with 1DM3, 70-200, 24-70, 16-35, 580EX, water bottle, batteries, cf cards, 35L and a 2nd 1DM3 above the 400/body))

I went to Lowepro's site to buy and it said 'out of stock'.

Hopefully more coming soon???

Yep they are discontinued according to Lowepro and they told me they do not have a replacement planned/announced yet.

Isn't there some other bag maker called kensis or something like that?

Steve, go with the Kinesis bags, they are the best in my opinion.

Another Kenisis vote. The Lowepro and Tamrac bags I've used are needlessly heavy, the Kenisis is a feather weight by comparison. When lugging 13 pounds of lens and another half dozen in body batteries t-cons etc.. you don't really want the bag weighing in at more than it needs to.

i bought mine from Naturescapes which were fantastic although i don't see the 600 bag listed on their site (i am sure you can call them and order it though)
