That's exactly what I did (in my LowePro Primus AW) and it works very well indeed.I removed all the partitions from my bag and used the pouches instead. It worked very well.
Cheers, Bob.

Edward, my other half is Thai , we used to go back quite a bit, always to Dankhunthot to visit the 'outlaws', but the young kids (x2) tend to make long haul travel very difficult and expensive now. But we try to get over at least once a year.Btw, Eoin, do you go to Korat often? Any girlfriend there? You should absolutely stop for a beer next time you're in this part of the world.
That would be great, Eoin. Looking forward to it. I'll bring my girlfriend along to keep your wife busy while we can discuss the latest Sony equipment or even take actual photos with itEdward, my other half is Thai , we used to go back quite a bit, always to Dankhunthot to visit the 'outlaws', but the young kids (x2) tend to make long haul travel very difficult and expensive now.

I'd love to meet up next time I'm over
Douglas,
Even though I believe the 70-300 is not a bad lens, you have to consider 2 things before you buy it:
1. It is not a Zeiss. I mean if you're used to a certain look from Zeiss lenses, this lens will not deliver, specifically, micro-contrast, 3D and the saturated Zeiss color balance which can produce warm tones and cold blues. This lens color balance reminds me of my Canon lens days with predominant warm tones overall as well as low contrast.
2. The minimum aperture of f/5.6 (and the relatively higher shutter speed needed to handhold long lenses) is very limiting as I found out recently, especially with a camera like the A900 that doesn't perform so well at high iso.
Also having used the Contax 300mm f/4 on a 1Ds2, I can say that by comparison the Sony zoom is not sharp. The results are consistant with what I've seen from the guys over here and several reviews on the net, but I wouldn't call it a sharp lens.
For me it is an expensive temporary solution until Sony releases a Zeiss prime around 200mm, which may or may not happen.
I'll be interested too.Yes, David - tomorrow I'm going to line up the 300 2.8, the 70-300 and the 70-400. May the best "G" win!
