Re: International travel and fitting cameras in carry on
Two suggestions for you, both from Mindshift 9sistere company to ThinkTank). I have, love and use the Photocross 13 sling bag. But have been looking at a larger bag for my next multi-month trip to Thailand and am close to buying the Trailscape 18L.
In the Photocross 13 I currently keep a A73 with Batis 40mm mounted in the center compartment, with a 24GM f1.4 and Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 under a divider flap back to back at the bottom. In the deepest slot I put the Batis 135mm f2.8 vertically under a flap with the FE 85mm f1.8 horizontally above, and in the upper slot I put the a V850S flash with Magmod gel/grid with a small case logic case with battery, cards, tools etc. The MagMod sphere, Rav Power power bank (you wont be able to put powerbanks in your checked luggage) small Cullman table top tripod, XPro flash transmitter and 67mm filters fit in the accessory pocket. I am at 6-1/2 Kg right now with this kit with room for my iPad. Works just fine, easy to slide around to the front for accessing gear and not too big and it is easier to access gear this way, rather than taking it off and setting it down. I can also put my light stand and/or travel tripod to the side or front with the included connector/straps.
Looking at your gear you could put the Canon zoom in the upper (shortest) pocket, 2 bodies without lens above a flap and the Tamaron and MC-11 adapter under in the center pocket, and the 16-35GM vertically with 24GM above a flap horizontally in the deepest lower pocket. The Nisi filter kit might fit in the accessory pocket, I got my 100mm Haida filter kit in there (6” x 5” x 1-1/2”) but it can also fit in the water bottle pocket. This way you have the full height 13” x 6” x 2” deep front accessory pocket for misc things. This will be fully loaded and you may not like the feel of a sling bag once it gets this heavy.
When I went to Thailand for 3 months during the end of 2017/2018 I took my M4/3gear, didn’t have Sony then, and put the Olympus 40-150 f2.8 and 24-80 f2.8 Pro zooms, Nocticron 42.5mm f1.2, Olympus 17mm f1.8 and 75mm f1.8 primes and 2 Olympus EM1 bodies (no mounted lens) plus my Mavic pro in the Photocross 13 along with filters, batteries and 2 extra Mavic pro batteries, Mavic controller, iPad Mini 4 and it all fit. It was fully loaded but worked OK, though I did eventually add a $10 padded wrap around strap over the original strap to cushion it. This time I want to add a 2nd Sony body and still bring the drone, so that is why I am looking at the Trailscape 18L, plus it gives you a full height front pocket for a rain jacket, food/snacks etc when out and about. The weight difference between packs is only 4 ounces more for the 18L, 2.8 lbs. vs 2.4 lbs and it no doubt will be more comfortable when overloaded as the Photocross 13 was for this trip.
