wedding_photographer5 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 <p>What's the smallest fanny pack / waist bag to fit a 80-200mm f2.8 and another tiny lens (50mm f1.8 or f1.4) ?</p> <p>Camera does not have to fit in the bag, just these two lenses.</p> <p>Small is key here.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 <p>Lowepro do a range of belt-mounted lens cases. I'm sure there's something in their range to fit. Offhand I'd say the 11x26cm model would fit. I think the Lowepros are a good compromise between bulk and protection. They've also introduced cases that are supposed to facilitate one-handed swapping, but I've no experience with those.<br /> My own Tokina 80-200mm f/2.8 lives in a Sigma LS-723N case, which again has a belt-loop. It's rather heavy to hang off a belt though.<br /> I don't think Sigma sell their well-made cases any longer, but they can usually be picked up on *Bay.</p> <p>If you're sold on a bum-bag design, then it's easy enough to convert a standard bum-bag to lens storage use by padding it out with high density foam.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedding_photographer5 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 <p>I'm looking at this sun sniper waist pack. Anyone tried to fit a 80-200 <em>and</em> 50 ?</p> <p><img src="http://s29.postimg.org/52cjdhvuv/sniperstrap_the_tph_heuptas_ssntphwaist2.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="462" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_arnold Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 <p>i have the <a href="http://store.lowepro.com/inverse-200-aw">Lowepro Inverse 200 AW</a>. it's deep enough to fit a 70-200/2.8 vertically, which leaves two compartments for other lenses. it also has a U-shaped double zipper which the sun sniper doesn't have, as well as a padded shoulder strap and built-in rain cover. the sun sniper looks like a knock-off of the lowepro with less functionality.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_stough Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 <p>The Think Tank Change Up V2 is a real nice pack that holds a Nikon 70-200 without the camera as well as a flash and another lens or at least two additional lenses without the flash. Not sure it's as small as you are looking for. It measures 11.2” W x 10” H x 5.8” and is really well made.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedding_photographer5 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 <p>Both are too big, sorry.</p> <p>I'm looking at a fanny pack to hold just these two lenses, no need for all the extra's.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose_angel Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 <p>If you <em>really</em> want the smallest, check the Think Tank Skin 75. It just fits a 70-200/2.8 hanging from a belt. I have an older version but basically the same thing and works. You can also have a smaller Skin for the 50mm, or maybe a Lens Changer which is padded and smaller, more versatile maybe, and also works great.<br /> I also second Tom`s advice if you want it with a built-in belt, padded and more versatile pack. I also have the former version, which is my most used bag. But it is not as minimalist as spare skins and changers.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 <p>This one from ThinkTank has a rather unappealing name, but is just the right size for a 70-200/2.8 and perhaps a few other things.</p> <p>https://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/hubba-hubba-hiney</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
