I use the Lowepro Pro-Mag AW2. Just 14" (T), x 12" (W) x 9.5" (D), it's smaller than the new cabin baggage limits. It's small enough, in fact, to fit under the seat of a 737 and still have space for my feet! It carries: 1 x R8+DMR w/90 Summicron (mounted) 1 x Charger for DMR 1 x 50 Summicron-R 1 x 21/4 SA 1 x 80~200/f4 Vario Elmarit 1 x 2X converter 1 x 400/f6.8 Telyt (in two pieces) 1 x Shoulder stock & grip for Telyt (in 3 pieces) 2 x ImageBanks w/chargers half dozen filters, several SD cards, wired release etc. Lots of space for airline tix, etc. And all fairly easy to get at. Mind you, when full, the bag weighs 22lb, so smaller airlines will gripe about the weight, if the weigh it (and many do!). But, it fits! My experience has been that the larger the bag, the more likely small airlines are to weigh your bag. When others are getting a lot of hassle, I simply pop mine in the air (and down again, before they see my strain) and they often just look at it and say "that's OK"! Hope this helps!
