70-200mm is the champ of all lenses IMHO

That 70-200mm is a great engineering accomplishment for Canon, I'm curious if others will follow?

Honestly, I thought Nikons new 70-200mm for the Z mount would have been in the same fashion.  Surprised that they kept it large.

Looks like a Fstop Tilopia, or something like that.  There's a video on their channel reviewing the bag.

If you go to YouTube, and look at all of the PT videos, you'll see one that has a thumbnail just like what you are asking about.

And the video title happens to be "Ultimate Adventure Backpack For Photographers".

It turns out to be an F-stop Tilopa. You can see the review here:

Sweet set up.  For me that color doesn't work.  Orange or black is they way to go.

I couldn't agree more, a telephoto lens is a must have for shooting landscapes and portraits.  Heck for just about anything else I can think of.  The perspective and compression it offers is unlike anything else.
