Just remember, It's the tree's fault for being in the way.
when I had my 70-200 F4 in my bag, I had lots of room and back strength to hold several more lenses (primes, macros, etc)
but now that I have the 70-200 F2.8 it's about double the weight, and side by side, considerably larger. In fact, it's roughly the same size as the 100-400mm when not extended.
My macro now sits beside my 135L and beside my 100-400mm always waiting for the day I plan to use them, instead of taking them with me with the possible chance they may get used.
My bag, as it sits most days, consists of my 16-35L attached to my 5DII and my 70-200 sits attached to my 7D. I carry my 24-70 along, but rarely attach.
The 16-35 sometimes makes it onto the 7d, but only when i want the little extra depth of field on my 70-200 F2.8
The real debate at this point in time, do i sell my macro and 135L? or keep them for portrait photoshoots only? It's a big internal debate.
