Basically im looking to replace my Tamrac Adventure somethingorother for one of these bags.

My current collection is:
40D + Grip
10-22 + Hood
17-55 + Hood
70-300 + Hood
430EX

Eventually it will be:
50/60D + Grip
10-22 + Hood
17-55 + Hood
100mm Macro
70-200 2.8
100-400
430EX II/580EX

Will this all fit with room to spare?

Also any other options that might be better?

Many thanks!

I own a TAMRAC Expedition 8 and love it... NOt sure if the 5 will be big enough... Perhaps to give you a sense of scale, with the Exp 8 I can fit all of the following in it:

5D Gripped w/24-70
30D
580 EX
430 EX
15mm fisheye
16-35
35
85
70-200 f/2.8
100mm macro

Plus all my filters, flash bracket, etc...

I have the Expedition 5x and it will not be big enough for all you listed. You need to move up in size.
I use the 5x as a 'day bag' for short trips with only the camera with a mounted lens, and possibly a second, plus cleaning supplies, batteries, etc.

You need the 7x.

I love Tamrac quality.
Good luck.
:)

Thats what I was trying to convey in my post... I think it went over his head... Move up past the 5x.

lol!

I didn't think it was *that* small looking from the site photos :(

Better move up one/two then :p

Edit: Would also help if I was talking about the 6x not the 5x ha ha.

I'll grab myself a 7x then :)

Edit 2: If I remove the 70-200 will then it all fit? Just debating its heavy enough as it is atm!!
