I have used lens wraps to securely wrap lenses to put in a rolling bag. I make sure to pack tightly, so there is very little if any movement with the items packed. I have done this several times traveling by air. Security will sometimes open and check my bag. The lenses are protected well. I also use a back pack, but having the heavy lenses in the rolling bag saves my back. I do always separate the camera from the lens, pack each separately.
Thank you. Intuitively, this seems perfect because it minimizes wasted space in the bag (sort of like rolling up your shirts). I assume that you are using something like the “lens wraps” or “equipment protection wraps” on sale at B&H?
I am thinking that this technique, maybe in combination with the previous suggestions of a smaller insert or camera bag in the suitcase, would be the way to go.
