    Just doesn't exist does it? Why do I have the feeling I need 6 different bags :(

    Any wildcard suggestions?

    Needs to carry, two ungripped bodies, 300 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 17-40, 24-105, 50 1.4, 85 1.8, 100-400 and at least one more lens in the 70-200 size, ideally the bodies should be carried with lenses attached.

    Thanks for the suggestions and tolerating my rambling. I have been mullling over replacing my bag for two years lol Just not really seen anything that makes 100% sense yet.

    For me I see to many lenses.....why do you need to carry all this at once.......why do you need another lenses in the 70-200 range??? I have been doing this over 30 yrs...shot for over 20yrs with a 70-210 macro.......was able to get everything I wanted.......now I am really a 2 lens shooter....I will carry 3 at the most, the 18-70, 70-200 and 50-500..........real soon it will be just a 24-70, 70-200 and either the sigma 150-500 or one of the 200-500....3 lenses but I only carry 2......depending on the reason I am out...wildlife 18-70 and 50-500, wedding / portraits 18-70 and 70-200........slooping around town 18-70 / 70-200
    Wild ard suggestion: make a belt system using a 3" wide Military pistol belt and suspenders.....and 2 lowePro 75AW's then you could add lens pouches as needed and still you could wear a regular backpack over the suspenders (I have) that is if hiking envolves camping....I also add a camelbak hydration pack so I have plenty of H2o (a 100oz camelbak)...........

    Good Luck on your quest.

    I priced the tt and LowePro belt systems and then for under $25 I had the Military belt and suspenders....actually it was under $15
    and the 2 - 75Aw's off ebay for cheap..around $30 each..so I got my whole system for less than either of the other systems by far.....

    build your belt system and then get a small back pack just for lenses....another wild card idea or go with a lowepro sling bag lie the 350

    Good Luck.
