The bag I have now (lowepro mini trekker classic?) is not big enough for my camera bodies and lenses any longer. In two months I will be adding a 300mm 2.8L IS. I was hopping for a bag that I can put my laptop two bodies and all my lenses and small accessories into. Any ideas?

I also need a different bad to put my lighting gear into. I have another AB1600 which I will be ordering along with 2 13' stands and 3 pocketwizards. Any ideas for this?

What size laptop?

Tamrac Cyberpack or LowePro CompuTrekker models come to mind, some can hold up to 17" laptops, others 15". Think Tank Photo also makes some nice ones!

It is only a 13' macbook. Pretty small. The thing I need to consider is my 300mm 2.8L IS when I get it that it. lol

Lowepro Vertex 200 or 300

This should hold all of your gear and have room for some new gear in the future.

I just ordered one for about $190 with free shipping.

The Lowepro Computrekker will definitely fit your macbook but not sure it will take your other gear. Maybe the Computrekker Plus?

^ Well, no laptop/camera bag is gonna hold the Bees too. For one thing, it'd be the size of a small Yugo.

Consider using some sort of separate bag for lighting gear, even a duffle bag will do since the Bees have their own cases already. Lightware is good stuff, but pricey.

I have similar "problem", I have not enough space for the coming 300 2.8 IS. I also had Mini Trekker, but already sold. I found two reasonable options: Lowepro Vertex 200, Lowepro Computrekker Plus. Both have enough space for a fast tele. The Computrekker, my final choice seems larger, but the Vertex has bigger depth.

I love my Pelican PCS283 (external link)! It's roomy, well built & a good price for a bag that size.

I use Liteware cases for all my lighting equipment. I also use
several Pelican cases however for a large bag that can carry
a lot of gear I have a Tamrac bag, I don't remember the model
number, but it is the largest bag that they make.

I just bought a LowePro Nature Trekker AW II for my 300 too. I saw someone post a pic here with the 300 in it and the 70-200, and a couple more lenses and it looks good.

I alsmot got a 600 AW but I want to carry some extra stuffs too.

I'll post back when it arrives.
