“It’s not my bag Baby!” vs Goldilocks “Just right”

I’m trying to find a bag that will fit a CL+ grip with the 55-135 mounted and a 11-23, or vice-versa.

The Peak Sling 5L is just a fraction too small

Any suggestions?

Have you inverted the lens hood on the tele-zoom? That ploy solved a similar problem for me.

Lens hoods on both lenses are inverted. It's just a struggle to get the CL + 55-135 out of the bag.

I used to fit 1 Q & 1 CL with either 55-135 or 11-23 both with lens hood mounted ready to use. 

inside a Billingham Hadley or a Hadley Pro or an F/1.4

Take a look at the Tenba Solstice 10L. It has replaced a Think Tank Turnstyle 20 sling as the bag of choice for my CL outfit.

I have the CL with the 18-56 fitted in one slot, the 55-135 in another, 11-23 in another and 35/1.4 TL in yet another, all lenses with the hoods in shooting position, with the front caps off and stored in another bag so I won’t lose them. 

Best bag I’ve tried with that outfit. Superior comfort compared to the Think Tank Turnstyle with an excellent cross-strap for when hiking you can detach if you just want to go to the sling format for quick lens changes. If I had a second CL or TL either could easily be attached to a second-most used lens.
