Bagsutra – Part 2 ( Fitting the 600mm VR into a Lowepro Vertex 300)

June 7th,2008

Continuing from Bagsutra Part-1

I got hold of the Lowepro Vertex 300 bag and here is what I am able to load. Pic below. The 600mm is in the lenscoat camo in the bottom of the frame, the 300mm 2.8 VR is on the top of the frame and the Nikon D2x is to the right.

* Nikon 600mm VR with reversed Lens hood (fitted with RRS replacement lens foot). The front element is protected with a Lenscoat XXX Hoodie slipped over the end of the reversed lens hood.

* Nikon 300mm 2.8 VR with Lens Hood reversed

* Nikon D2X

I doubt one could fit in much more. Maybe a teleconverter or a flash but not much space left at all. Yes the bottom portion bulges a little when the bag is closed but, the bag closes. I think one could use it for a 600+ 70-200 + 2 bodies + TC.

My current bag the Lowepro Mini Trekker is now too small for my gear. Now, I plan to use the Vertex 300 for the 300mm + all the gear and carry the 600 separately till I get hold of the Think Tank Airport Addicted or better still, figure out my own backpack.
