Realistically, the shoulder bag I've used for the last ten years is not up to the task of carrying and protecting my kit through the rigours of transatlantic hand luggage travel. It's not up to being banged about in overhead storage and it will not accommodate all the kit I'm planning to take so whilst one option is to travel "bag-within-a-bigger-bag", my other option is to invest in a bigger and more generously padded bag to carry the following:
Gripped 5DII
16-35 L
50 1.4
100-400L
1.4 converter
maybe a laptop and power lead?
The body will travel in a neoprene slip and I can rustle up enough hard lens cases or thick neoprene zipped tubes for the lenses.
I'm pretty sure that I could spend forever and a day looking on the 'net and not fully cover everything that's available. You guys will know which makes and bags come well-regarded and some of you will carry this level of kit. I'm not looking for drop-proof but I'm looking for something with a practical / adequate level of padding.
At home my kit lives in a fairly old Lowepro Photo Trekker AW which is just a tad too big: well padded, flexible, tough but maybe just a bit too big.
