Best bag for 2 lenses?

[TheBiles]

I'm trying to figure out what kind of bag I should get to hold two of my lenses while traveling. My travel kit includes the 24-105, 16-35, and 70-200, and I'd like to be able to carry all of them with me at once. I'm thinking some kind of fanny pack would be good since I could just clip it on and go, but I haven't been able to find one that is small enough for only two lenses. Another alternative would be two separate cases that go on the belt, but that could get cumbersome. I'll be in Italy for about 10 days this summer, and I want to have everything on my body.

I have a perfect bag for this from Tarmac ... Messenger bag. It holds my 24-70 and 70-200 and my camera... Regardless of which two I have mounted. It also holds one additional item comfortably (lens or flash) and has expansions if you need to push it a little. I don't have it with me so I can't tell you the model but I've subscribed to this to remind me and I'll post the info later.

Yes, I use one of their backpacks, but their very limited belt pack lineup is too large for my needs. I was considering their individual cases, but that is a last resort.

I don't want a bag that can also fit a camera or anything else. Just comfortably fit the 70-200 f/4L and the 16-35 with hoods.

Limited? In addition to the rest of the holsters and bags that work on the belt, they have a whole range of lens pouches that fit the belt system: Protect Your Camera Lens - Lens Pouches, Lens Bags, Lens Cases

They work great for me.

This is what I initially saw on the Think Tank site looking for belt packs. Pretty limited. I'll try to see if any of their modular stuff fits the bill, but I think I'll just have to get a general bag and stuff the lenses in there instead of finding a specific pack for two lenses.

I do have the Think Tank modular system... belt, harness, and several modular lens and other bags. I own a lot of bags. I have one "large" rolling backpack style bag that's airline safe "carry on" size for getting through airports. Mostly this will stay back in my room... I'm not going to drag it around town. I have the Think Tank belt & modular system so I can pick the one or two lenses I want for the day and just carry what I need.

best resource to find out about bags before you go handle them in person.

I have one too, came in handy when I went to Cyprus in April.

Same here. Lots of options, from very large Pelican on wheels to a couple different sized backpacks, assorted bags, belts, etc. I use what seems appropriate for the task.

But for walking around with a body or two and a choice few lenses selected for the task, I love the Think Tank modular belt system. Nothing else I've ever used beats it.

what about one of the smaller pelicans?
