Think Tank has launched a new addition to its BackLight series of camera bags aimed squarely at sports and wildlife photographers. The BackLight Long Lens, as the name suggests, is designed to carry a super-telephoto lens such as a 600mm f/4 or 800mm f/5.6 with a hood up to 8 inches in diameter, attached either to a gripped body, or a teleconverter. In the case of the latter, a special pouch is provided so the body can be stored safely alongside the lens. For occasions when other lenses are required, pads and dividers are included to convert the interior to house multiple gripped bodies with 5 to 6 lenses. A separate 7-liter front pocket adds space for daily essentials like food or a light jacket, while a dedicated padded sleeve can store a tablet up to the size of a 13-inch iPad Pro. Outside there are front and side mounting points for a tripod or monopod, plus a side pocket for a water bottle.
