I just bought the LowePro Rover AW Kit for my trip to Malaysia. It fits: * EOS 3 * 550ex * ST-E2 * EF 24mm f2.8 * EF 50mm f1.4 * EF 100mm f2.8 USM Macro (just arrived, beautiful lens! I'm hooked already) * PowerBook G3 (have to unhook the

I think the J=2 would be too small for her use. I barely have room in mine for an A2, 1n, 28-135 and 100-400, the latter is roughly the size of the 70-200 f2.8. I can stack my 50mm on top of the 28-125, and put a flash in one of the end pockets. I am about to buy (or maybe get for Christmas, I

The Lowepro Mag is an excellent choice and just fits under an airline seat or in overhead. However, consider adding the backpack harness, which replaces the shoulder strap and waist belt. With the included waist belt and should harness you have nearly the comfort of a backpack, but the harness

I strongly suggest you check out Lowepro's Pro Mag 2 before making a decision...My setup was very much like yours and it worked beautifully, though now I have switched up to a 300/2.8 IS and the bag can still hold 70-200/2.8, 300/2.8, Body, a wide angle zoom, and 100 macro, plus some other stuff.

I have outgrown my old camera bag, and I am looking for some recommendations for a new one. I'd prefer a shoulder bag (vs. a daypack/backpack), and need room for 2 EOS bodies (EOS-3 and my old Rebel 2000), two long L-series telephoto lenses (70-200 f/2.8 and 300 f/4 with hoods), one or two smalle
