Have you considered the Domke F-804 Super Satchel or the F-805 Courier
Satchel ? Both have very large interiors, lots of small pockets (the F-805
has more) and 2 very large front pockets. Interior dimensions are
advertised as 15" wide by 6.5" deep by 12.5" high. It is actually a little
smaller due to padding. As an example you could load it with a FA-211 (5" X
6" X 8") to hold your AF-S 300 f/2.8 lens, a FA-210 (3" X 6" X 8") to hold
your F5 and a FA-220 insert (3" X 6" X 8") to hold 2 other lenses. I own
the F-804 and I haven't seen anything better so far to accommodate long
lenses as well as a lot of other photo gear. It is easy to work out of and
not very expensive. My only complaint is those blasted Domke clasps that
are difficult (sometimes painful) to open and close. Does anyone like these
clasps? BTW my temporary solution to the clasp problem (until a better one
comes along) is to break off the tongue of the clasp and just hook it.
Strap tension holds it closed.
