Camera bag for K10D+grip+3lens

Hello, I used to have the lowepro slingshot 200 AW bag for my K10D+grip+DA*50-135, however as I got the DA*16-50mm and DA*300mm lens, I found I can not put all in one bag, especially the DA*300mm lens. Could you give me some recommendations? How about slingshot 300 AW?

Thanks!

Can you rearrange the dividers on the 200AW so all your lenses are oriented the same way as the one attached to the grip? You would have one long slot for the body with a lens attached and 2 shorter (but still decent) slots for the other 2. Cover the top of the slot with the dividers to hold your lenses in - when you slide the slingshot around and open it the way you always do, all three lenses are easily available (this is actually better than the traditional set-up).

I know it is nowhere near as long as a 300 or even the 50-135, but mu k10D w/grip and the 55-300 attached slides into the center slot and fits fine, with about 2" extra beyond the end of the lens. I put rectangular hoods for normal primes in that small slot.

If you rotate the dividers in the AW 200 Sling you can carry up to an eight inch lens off the camera. There was a photo of the K10D with grip, with the bag set up this way, where the grip was tucked into the deeper left side. This leaves the two right pockets exposed for longer lenses.

Thank you
