As the title suggests, I am thinking of getting the Lowepro Flipside 500 AW II Camera Backpack.
I use a D7100 with an array of lenses: 35mm, 90mm, 18-400mm, and 200-500mm.
Has anyone used this pack, and fit the 200-500 mounted to a body inside? The company-stock photos show a body mounted to a Canon 400 (I think) fit snuggly inside. But how snuggly?
The 500 backpack looks king of huge on the model:
I’ve also read some of the reviews for the 400, and they say you can just squeeze the 200-500 mounted on a D500 body into the bag. The model photo of the 400 looks a bit more proportional...
I also considered the Rugged 600 but I think it’s way too huge for my 200-500. I know someone who has it using a D4 and 500mm f4...but that lens is 5” longer than mine collapsed at 200. I think the Rugged bag would be overkill for me...
Any Suggestions?
