Belt up!

[turnpike]

Hi,

I'm looking for a belt to carry the following (all canon) gear:

70-200 lens
1.4 extender
2.0 extender
17-55 lens
Batteries and Memory Cards.

I'm using a 7D but I'm happy for that to stay on my BR strap.

If I bought say a lowepro utility belt, do I need new pouches for the lens or will the one which came with the 70-200 L and a lowepro for the 17-55 attach ok?

Thanks!
Carl.

I have both Lowepro S&F and ThinkTank belt kits. Overall I prefer the ThinkTank gear, it feels a bit better built.

I bought a modular kit with 2 lens holders, bag for accessories, a flash pouch and a belt. The only thing I would do is add the shoulder harness if you plan on putting a spare body and lens on the belt, at Le Mans where I had a 1Ds and 24-105 in a Kata belt holster as a spare and for wide shots I found it was pulling the belt down all the time.

You'll need new lens pouches if you're thinking of the soft grey cases that come with the lenses.

Thanks Mark. Think Tank looks very good. I'm not going to have time to get anything from them for my weekend trip but will look more when I get back.
