Will Sling-O-Matic 10 hold body+70-200 and more lenses?

Hi guys,

I'm curious to find out if the Think Tank Sling-O-Matic 10 will hold a body with a 70-200/2.8 attached, and still have room below for a 18-200 and a 50 perhaps?

But I've been measuring a bit and even though it might be tight, I think there's room.

Would just like to know if anyone of you already own the Sling-O-Matic 10 and knows how it works with a 70-200?

Thanks.

Hi,

What body have you got on the 70-200 currently? --Standard body / No grip -- yes, it will fit.

It's the Nikon D7000.

Maybe I wasn't totally clear in my question

D7000 + Sigma 70-200 will fit easily (with lens hood in position) in all the sling-o-matic bags, as it's placed "on the long side". But what I was curious about was how much room there are for extra lenses below the D7000+Sigma lens. In the sling-o-matic 20 there's plenty of room because it's wider, but the sling-o-matic 10 is not as wide so I'm not sure if there's enough room for lenses below the dividers.

I guess you'd have to own one to really know what I mean

You're right, I would have to... ;-) (Or I'd have to work for TTP *waves* )

What I should have said better was, you will easily fit the 70-200 / Body OR three lenses and stuff...

Hope that helps.

Working for TTP wouldn't be too bad

According to Ron's review, about body+70-200, he writes:

There was still enough room for a 580EX II flash behind it as well.

Sounds to me as there's not enough room for any lenses then.

Too bad - guess I'll give Retrospective 20 a try then (already ordered it, but I'm still interested in the sling-o-matic 10 ... well, I was... not much fun if it doesn't fit anything else but body+70-200, and the sling-o-matic 20 is a bit too big for my taste and my lenses which is not "pro" sizes).

Thanks for your help though.

It's great... :-)

I have the 30 (Sling-O-Matic) ...it holds a LOT... but, the ten, I think you could make them fit - but it'd be tight!... I think the 20 will be a lot better suited, and allow you to grow your gear / if you want to.
