Hi Pierre,
The canon camera museum lists your 100-400 as 189mm long (about 7 1/2
inches), and it lists my 300/4 IS as 221mm long (about 9 inches). My
Eos-3 with the 300/4 IS attached fits snugly, but nicely, in my Pro-Mag
2 even with a filter attached and stuff in the pockets on the top panel.
If these numbers from canon are right, your 100-400 should fit without
any problem or modifying the bottom cushion (see my other post). I
don't have the 100-400, so I can't say from experience.
I do have both bags, and they are not nearly as similar as they look.
They are both tall, but the specialist tapers toward the bottom. The
specialist is more streamlined, but also much smaller. I could never
get my 28-70 and my 100 macro with hoods in there side by side (front of
bag to back--the way you wouldn't expect them to fit) as I can in my pro
mag 2. The pro mag 2 will also stand up by itself and actually has two
little rubber channels on the bottom so you could set it on a wet/dirty
surface and the material wouldn't get wet or dirty.
Anyway, they are not as similar as they look.
