What is your favorite lens/camera combo in your camerabag?

[Jack56]

Last week I've bought the f-stop Tilopa backpack.
Ideal when I want all my gear with me.
But, there will be enough situations that I only need the 70-200 and the 24-70. That's why I want to buy another smaller bag, the Billingham 5-serie (225 or 335).
That also means that this bag isn't deep enough to hold the body (mark5dIII) and 70-200mm as a combo.
What do you think? Buy a "deeper" bag like the Think Tank which I not really like or make another combo like the mark5dIII with the 24-70 and keep the 70-200 on its own in the same bag?
What is your combo in your bag?

For a 5D III (or similar size camera) plus attached 70-200 II plus 24-70/2.8 ... I can fully recommend the Think Tank Retrospective 20. I've used it with gripped 7D, 70-200/2.8 II plus 17-55/2.8 [plus 10-22 and 600EX].

Currently I only have an EOS-M, so the Retrospective 20 is not in active use. My favorite camwera/lens combos are EOS-M with either 22/2.0 or 18-55. Fits nicely into a small LowePro Dashpoint 30 bag, which I carry in hand, on belt or on my leftside backpack shoulder strap.

Full EOS M kit including table tripod fits into a "smallish" Hama shoulder bag. Even nicer, but quite a bit more expensive would be a Thinktank Mirrorless Mover 20.

mmm
well in my every day backpack a Swiss gear bag I have my gripped 70d and a 70-200lf4.0 is
and the 400 5.6 l and the 10-22 ef-s lens plus a 1.4 tele extender mk3

if I want more lens with me and a flash I use a m-rock back pack but its not for every one

Run and gun for me is the 5D3 and 70-200 f4 plus the 24-70 f4. I have several Think Tank bags and the deeper ones will take the long zoom attached. That is my everyday combo and I do love the TT bags!

Canon 6D w/ 70-300mm L & 35mm f/2 IS & 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye & 430EX II flash. It's a tough to beat combo and is light and easy to carry in the Lowepro Pro Messenger 160.

1. With my 7D: 70-300L and 300 f/4 + 1.4
2. With my 5D Mark II: 16-35 L f/4

I have found the 6D and Sigma 24-105mm Art lens to be a nice walking around compromise of size / image quality / and flexibility. It's a really sharp lens, and if you shoot large jpeg or RAW can crop the heck out of it and still get a lot of IQ. If the new 100-400 turns out great, I might add that to my walking around bag, and maybe add the 16-35mm f/4. Sold my 16-35 f/2.8ii, so now only have 8-15mm for super wide, and 70-200mm 2.8 ii and TC's for walking around bag, which is not really ideal, but certainly not bad. The big white (and it's luggage) is not for walking around. lol

6D + 35mm f/2 IS. Awesome low-light combo as well as my favorite focal length.

 

[TexPhoto]

1D4 + 400mm f2.8 IS, but doesn't fit in the bag...

 

[Hjalmarg1]

I have the same combo with a 5D III (with grip) plus attached 70-200/2.8 II, plus 24-70/2.8, plus 580 EX II flash and I am using a Tamrac Velocity 8x Pro Sling Pack for day trip. Its only downsize, which is common for sling bags and messenger bags is that the bag gets heavy on one shoulder. I don't own messenger bag but I would recommend the Think Tank Retrospective 20.
For short trips, when I want to carry my 13" laptop also, I use the Lowepro Fastpack 250

 

[Khalai]

Canon 6D with 50/1.4 for walkaround/justfoolingaround stuff. Otherwise 6D+70-200 II (and some painkillers for shoulder and back strain ).

 

[Marsu42]

Otherwise 6D+70-200 II (and some painkillers for shoulder and back strain ).

... that's why my favorite combination is the 6D+70-300L, it has good enough bokeh and sharpness for my wildlife shots and a bit longer reach.

 

[Ivan Muller]

6d plus 40mm pancake.

Plus a Selphy printer for street portraits!

Canon 6D w/ 70-300mm L & 35mm f/2 IS & 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye & 430EX II flash. It's a tough to beat combo and is light and easy to carry in the Lowepro Pro Messenger 160.

+1
The 35mm F2 IS is an absolute dream on a FF body. Very high IQ and I can go down to 1/15 without any problem, which helps in low light.

I originally purchased it for use on my 7D as a 50mm equivilent angle of view. It was great on that body, but it wasn't until I purchased the 6D that I was wowed. This is by far my favorite fixed lens and it's almost always in my bag. I sometimes will grab the 50mm instead, but not often. It's a great video lens as well.

 

[Corvi]

Leica M6 and Summilux 35 Pre-Asph, then my EOS3 and 50L and then the 5DMk2 with 35L

 

[Tsuru]

I've got a gripped 6D with the 70-200 f2.8 II attached as well as a 24-105 f4 and a 600EX-RT into a Lowepro Pro Messenger 180AW. You could throw yet another lens in there if you wanted as long as it's fairly short. I looked at the Think Tank bags but preferred the feel of the Lowepro.

 

[alexanderferdinand]

The Fuji X100s. Prime 23mm, not changeable.

It used to be 6D or 5DIII + 70-300L or 70-200 f4 IS L + something shorter and faster, but during the past year I've mainly been using mirrorless cameras and find myself less interested in reach than before and increasingly fond of manual focusing; the resulting loss of weight/bulk has made the process more enjoyable for me. When I'm wandering around town I'll typically just take a Sony a7r or a6000 + one or two lenses, usually old mf but sometimes Canon EF. During a recent trip each time I went out I had a small bag that contained Sony a7r + Olympus 24mm 2.8 + Sony/Zeiss 35mm + Pentax Super-Tak 50 1.4 or Nikon 55mm macro + Nikon 100mm E series, and sometimes just the camera + 50mm. Light, compact, not obtrusive, and technically very satisfying. (If Canon were to conjure up a similar camera body, so much the better....)

I have a favorite for each task and situation, I don't use the wrong camera for the job just because I like it more. I have a bag for each, and a very large roll around case that will hold most.
