Review Tamrac 5793...

The super Telephoto Lens Pack.
The bag has one main compartment specifically for a large telephoto lens. (in case you were wondering about the name...)

On the sides there are two little pockets that will hold your phone, keys etc.. One of them holds the raincover.

It holds the 300mm F/2.8, ready for action, with ease. (Thats camera attached, lens hood fixed in proper position)

The stitching, zippers and velcro on this bag is what you can expect from Tamrac; High Quality.

The 300 with hood fixed and attached to the 7D

Depending on what lens you have you can adjust the inside of the 5793. There is a sturdy "neck-like" thingie that will hold your combo in place.




One of the reasons i got this bag is that it will hold the 300 with the lens extenders attached.

This is with the 2x MkIII extender attached. A very easy fit.


The bag is outfitted with Tamrac's Modular Accessory System. Since you get very little space in this bag for anything besides your lens i ordered some of the available attachments.

I got the wide angle lens pouch, which i will use to carry the extenders in. Also got the water bottle pouch and a pouch that should hold the 100-400L, in case i want to bring it along.



It comes with a raincover. Havent tried it yet with the Modular Attachments in place. That might be the tricky part. ;)
Overall i can highly recommend this bag. Its very well made, and works as advertised. And with the use of the M.A.S pouches, its very versatile too.


Here it is in action;

Bags Bags Bags!!

Like many photographers, ive fallen for the bag-trap. You never have enough, you always see another model that is bigger, better, more versatile etc...

At the moment i have 6 bags. Not an overwhelming amount, but still..

Here is the list;

A Tamrac Expedition 8




A very comfortable big rucksack. Has been with me on many journey's, where i need to bring a lot of gear. Airline compatible, fits in overhead luggage bins. Only thing missing is a dedicated raincover, but ive never had any water leak through despite that.

A Tamrac Pro 8 shoulderbag



Nice compact shoulderbag. Not really my thing though. I usually carry a tele-lens and 1 or 2 other lenses. That just doesnt fit snugly into this bag with a gripped camera. If you are a one lens or a 2 short lenses kinda person... Get one.

A Lowepro Vertex 100 AW



As far as im concerned; The best bag i have. Nice and compact, comfortable to carry, and with enough room to bring along a ton of stuff. Comes with a dedicated raincover, as with most Lowepro bags.

A Lowepro Slingshot 100



Neat little bag for a 1/2 shortlens setup.

A Lowepro Pro Trekker 600 AW



When i bought the 300mm F/2.8 i thought i might need a new bag to hump it around in. Well... Lets just say that the 300 fits nicely. With room to spare for every other lens i have. It is a great backpack. Comes with a detachable fanny-pack, a hydration pocket and a neo-prene sleeve for a laptop. Its almost awesome.

Almost.

One of the shoulderstraps tore within the first week. Still functional though, but...

On and off i also use a Maxpedition Jumbo S-type slingbag. Mostly when i travel light ie; only a compactcamera and an I-pad with camera connection kit.



This is also my everyday carry man-purse.. (I know) Its very rugged, and if you put some dividers in there its a great camera bag.
