Bagsutra Part – 3 – Bagging the 600mm VR + TC + Body + a few odd ends.

November 1st,2008

Continuing from Bagsutra Part – 2



I got fed up of looking at bags for my 600mm VR with hood + body + TC + a few odd ends like a flash etc so I decided to design one of my own and get it made locally. Its a backpack design and, the few odd ends can be slipped into the pockets. The bag can pack flat when the padding is removed.

I got a 25 inch length bag to fit the 600mm VR with hood fitted in shooting position + TC+ Body . The padding is flat, removable and, can be rolled to wrap around the lens and fitted into the bag. You can thus use this bag with or without padding. The bag material is water repellent . It is light padding and, usual care is expected while using this bag.

Works well for me 🙂

  1. I did almost the same, got the padding and other things done locally. And even the lens cover got it done locally for Rs.99 not $99!

  2. Dear Krishnan

    Faced the same dilemma like you.
    Not a good artist like you so i went for 99 $ option.
    Lowepro Photo trekker AW accomodates 600mm F 4.
    I have to think how i can carry hood.
    For air travel i will leave it in Canon case.
    For day to day shoot i am plannung to add on the number of belts present on Lowepro.

    yet to get Jobu design Gimble tripod head, how abt you.
    Which tripod head you use for 600mm F4.

    Regards

    Sagar.

  3. Hey Sagar,

    I use the wimberley head II. Will send you a mail on that !

    BTW if you need the bag I have I can get one made for you, its pretty cheap.
