Check the specs, take your pick.

I really don't know. I've never looked for anything like that because I have no interest in lugging around that much gear, but I imagine there must be. Have you done an internet search for camera backpacks?

I have and nothing large enough yet. I may have to bite the bullet and go to NYC B&H and see them for myself. Just hoping someone saved me the trip

J, with quick access I'm gonna say probably not. Without quick access look at one of the Lowpro's in the 400 series.
Why don't you just use 3 separate straps, one on each side and the big lens in the middle, especially if the 300 will be the primary camera? Just keep the 300 strap short. Should be OK as long as you're on foot or stationary.
Just make sure you take your knee pads, so you don't look like a rookie with 3 cameras!! :lol:

Look at the LowePro Trekker 650 AW; it should work. I use the smaller Trekker with D750, D7100, 300mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8 and 24-120 f4. So the larger one will probably hold the additional body. It's rated for a 400mm, so should have no problem with the 300.

Try LowePro or ThinkTank

I know this is only lighter pack for the fairer sex, but it would
fit your gear without a problem.

It's a "Kelty Womans" 80 litre.

Thank you all, jcboy I'll look at that Lowe pro

Yes, it does exist. This backpack doesn't come up in a routine search on B&H, however I talked to a rep and he immediately told me to access this option. It fit my need perfectly and has adjustable partitions. Hopefully, this will help you. Flyer

Go to LowePro.com. They have an interactive app on their site that will let you identify what you have to carry, then recommend bags to carry it. It works quite well.

I think both Tamrac and Lowepro offer what you are seeking. I have one backpack that would get close, two bodies and the holy trinity, but I don't normally carry my 300/2.8 that way. Look on the B&H website and you will be able to get an idea of exactly what you want. Once you narrow it down, you can order from B&H on the phone. Their reps are pretty good at giving advice. If you are not happy, you can do a return. Of course going to the store is much more fun, and more expensive too! Best of luck!

My largest backpack is a LowePro Photo Trekker. It can definitedly accommodate a 300/2.8 with camera mounted (or up to 500/4 unmounted), with hood reversed. It also has room alongside that can handle a couple more camera bodies and lenses, but not with the lenses mounted.

Frankly, the Photo Trekker (an older model.... I think it's most similar in size to their current Pro Trekker 450 model: http://www.lowepro.com/trekker) is the largest and heaviest backpack I'd ever try to lug around. I have hiked with an unmounted 500/4 in it, along with other lenses, 2nd camera, and a tripod in a separate shoulder bag. The backpack with this gear weighs over 30 lbs (the 500/4 alone is about 8 lbs, tripod with head & accessories weigh an additional 9 lbs). About 40 lbs total! It is a definite chore to carry it very far!

I much more often use a smaller Mini Trekker. That can accommodate up to a 300/2.8 unmounted and hood reversed, plus a couple other moderate sized lenses, or a second body and a smaller lens or two.

I usually have another camera and lens ready to shoot, outside the backpack. Plus I often have a vest on, to corral some of the smaller stuff such as spare batteries and memory cards.

When travelling by air, I use the Mini Trekker because I can carry it on and it will fit into an overhead bin (the Photo Trekker is too big). When loaded with a 5DII w/battery grip, 300/4L IS, 24-70/2.8L, 20/2.8, 135/2, flash, light meter, a few 72mm and 77mm filters, extra batteries, memory cards and other misc. accessories, it is fully stuffed and weighs close to 25 lbs, which is about as much as I'm willing to hike through airports carrying while also wrestling one or two checked bags with clothes and such.
